20230102886 · 2023-03-30 ·

A magnetorheological braking device with a fixed mount and with two braking components. One of the two braking components is non-rotatably affixed to the mount and the two braking components are continuously rotatable relative to one another. A first braking component extends in the axial direction. The second braking component has a hollow shell part that extends around the first braking component. A peripheral gap is filled with a magnetorheological medium. The first braking component has an electric coil and a core made from a magnetically conductive material. Magnetic field concentrators on the core and/or magnetic field concentrators on the shell part protrude into the gap, which results in a peripheral gap with a variable gap height. A magnetic field of the electric coil runs through the core and the magnetic field concentrators and through the gap into a wall of the shell part.

Reluctance Haptic Engine for an Electronic Device
20230094873 · 2023-03-30 ·

A reluctance haptic engine for an electronic device includes a core, an attractor plate, and mechanical suspension. The core and/or the attractor plate may be coupled to an input structure, such as a button cap, a trackpad cover, or a touchscreen cover. In an unactuated configuration, flexible support members maintain a gap between the core and the attractor plate. An electrical current may be applied to one or more conduction loops of the core to actuate the reluctance haptic engine and provide a haptic output by moving the input structure. The electrical current may cause a magnetic flux that results in a reluctance force that pulls the attractor and the core together and causes the input structure to move to produce a haptic output.
