The magnet system includes at least one arrangement of at least one permanent magnet polarized radially with respect to the axis, and an annular coil connectable to a current source. The magnet system forms, together with the pole shoes, an air gap system having axially variable air gaps. The mobile structure is securable in each end position without excitation of the coil and is movable from one assumed end position into the opposite end position by excitation of the coil.

A lens driving device includes a housing; a bobbin disposed in the housing; a magnet and a dummy member, arranged at the housing; a first coil disposed on the bobbin; and a substrate including a second coil facing the magnet. The housing includes a first and a second side part facing each other and a third and a fourth side part facing each other. The magnet includes a first magnet unit disposed at the first side part, a second magnet unit disposed at the third side part, and a third magnet unit disposed at the fourth side part. The dummy member is disposed at the second side part.

An optical system is provided. The optical system includes a holder and a first compensation assembly. The holder is connected to an optical module. The first compensation assembly compensates a light. The first compensation assembly includes a first optical element. The light enters the optical module through the first compensation assembly.

A magnetic release mechanism for use with underwater fishing equipment includes a base plate having a slot for receiving a buckle, and a recess for receiving a release plate. A permanent magnet positioned proximate the recess generates a first magnetic field for magnetically coupling the release plate to the base plate. An electromagnetic coil positioned proximate the permanent magnet is configured to selectively generate a second magnetic field when energized. A magnetic field sensor is positioned proximate the recess. A controller is operatively coupled to the magnetic field sensor. The controller may be configured to monitor the magnetic field sensor to detect the presence of a third magnetic field and, in response to detecting the presence of a third magnetic field, output a signal indicating that the release plate is magnetically secured within the recess.

A magnetic coupling, includes a driving rotor sleeved on the driving shaft, a driven rotor sleeved on the driven shaft, external magnets mounted on the driving rotor and internal magnets mounted on the driven rotor and located on the inner sides of the external magnets; a plurality of internal magnets are arranged and uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the driven rotor; the external magnets and the internal magnets are aligned one by one along a radial direction; the internal magnets and the external magnets are magnetized along the radial direction; adjacent internal magnets have opposite magnetizing directions, and adjacent external magnets have opposite magnetizing directions; magnetic poles of the internal magnets are opposite to magnetic poles of the corresponding external magnets, and the driving rotor and the driven rotor form a working magnetic circuit through a magnetic field generated by the external magnets and a magnetic field generated by the internal magnets, wherein at least the external magnets are magnet exciting coils that generate a working magnetic field through power supply.

An optical element driving mechanism is provided, including a base, a holder movably coupled to the base for holding an optical element, a casing, a frame, a driving assembly, and an adhering member. The casing has a top wall and a plurality of side walls extending from the edge of the top wall along an optical axis of the optical element, and the top wall is closer to a light-incident end than the base. The frame is disposed on the top wall and has a frame protrusion extending toward the base. The driving assembly is configured to drive the holder to move relative to the base, and an accommodating space is formed between the base, the frame and the casing. The adhering member is disposed in the accommodating space and configured to directly adhere to the base, the frame, the casing, and the driving assembly.

A flexible display device includes a flexible display panel, a reel, a substantially U-shaped guide rail, and a magnetic field generating member. The reel is provided with a slit opening in a surface thereof and a rotating shaft inside. The U-shaped guide rail has an open side and a closed end, and the closed end is arranged adjacent to the rotating shaft. The rectilinear conductor is configured to bridge the open side of the U-shaped guide rail to form a closed circuit with the U-shaped guide rail. The magnetic field generating member is configured to provide a magnetic field to the rectilinear conductor. A first side edge of the flexible display panel is connected with the rotating shaft of the reel through the slit opening, and a second side edge of the flexible display panel opposite to the first side edge is connected with the rectilinear conductor.

A high-speed solenoid includes a casing, a least two pairs of first permanent magnet and second permanent magnet installed in the casing, and coils corresponding to the pairs of first permanent magnet and second permanent magnet provided in the same number as the number thereof in a bobbin of a mover. In magnetic paths formed by the pairs of first permanent magnet and second permanent magnet and the coils, each magnetic path corresponding to each pair of first permanent magnet and second permanent magnet is separated from each other. Therefore, the multiple magnetic paths are formed to operate the mover. The high-speed solenoid has an advantage in that the mover is operated at a relatively high speed.

A camera module is disclosed, which has a compact structure, and may be used as a camera alone, or may be used in a terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer or in a vehicle-mounted device. The camera module includes two magnetic bodies, a lens group, a zooming coil, and a sensor, where the two magnetic bodies are respectively located on two opposite sides of the lens group, to form a magnetic field; the lens group includes a first soft film lens; the zooming coil is connected to a soft film of the first soft film lens; when the zooming coil is energized, a Lorentz force is generated under action of the magnetic field, to change a shape of the first soft film lens, and implement a zooming function; and the sensor is configured to receive a light beam incident through the lens group.
