LINEAR VIBRATION MOTOR
The present disclosure provides a linear vibration motor, including a substrate having an accommodation space, a vibration system accommodated in the accommodation space, an elastic member fixing and suspending the vibration system in the accommodation space, and a driving system fixed on the substrate and driving the vibration system to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to a horizontal direction. The vibration system includes a magnet; the driving system includes an iron core fixed on the substrate, a first coil and a second coil that are sleeved over and fixed on the iron core and that are stacked with each other, and an auxiliary magnet covering an end of the iron core.
Bendable electronic device apparatus and methods
A flexible haptic actuator and corresponding method. The flexible haptic actuator comprises a core formed with a flexible material. The core defines a volume and is bendable. An electrical conductor is coiled around the core and is bendable. A casing surrounds the electrical conductor and at least a part of the core. The casing includes a plurality of flexible sections and a plurality of stiff sections. The casing is bendable. A haptic mass is suspended in the volume, the haptic mass being at least partially formed with a magnetic material. The haptic mass is movable in the volume in response to the electrical conductor generating a magnetic field.
Method and apparatus for determining magnetic flux and magnetic force in a solenoid assembly
A solenoid assembly includes a solenoid actuator having a core. A coil is configured to be wound at least partially around the core such that a magnetic flux () is generated when an electric current flows through the coil. An armature is configured to be movable based on the magnetic flux (). A controller has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for controlling the solenoid assembly. The controller is configured to obtain a plurality of model matrices, a coil current (i.sub.1) and an eddy current (i.sub.2). The magnetic flux () is obtained based at least partially on a third model matrix (C.sub.0), the coil current (i.sub.1) and the eddy current (i.sub.2). Operation of the solenoid actuator is controlled based at least partially on the magnetic flux (). In one example, the solenoid actuator is an injector.
