The absence of high efficiency, compact fluidic pumps has until recently blocked the consideration of using hydraulic devices within portable and/or alkaline battery powered consumer and non-consumer products. The higher the functionality and programmability desired for a consumer and/or non-consumer product exploiting a fluidic pump then the more complex the overall fluidic system in terms of the number of actuators, valves, switches etc. within the fluidic system coupled to the one or more fluidic pumps. Accordingly, there exists a requirement to provide compact fluidic valves and switches to support configurability, programmability, and operation of these portable battery-operated consumer and non-consumer devices in conjunction with these newly available high efficiency, compact fluidic pumps. Such fluidic valves and switches should offer high efficiency, have a small footprint, be low complexity for high reliability and ease of manufacture, and low cost.

A suspension system for an exciter device. The exciter device includes a piston extending through an opening of a moveable housing and generates a vibrational force by causing a linear reciprocating movement of the housing relative to the piston. The suspension system includes an axial suspension magnet fixedly coupled to the housing and positioned proximate the opening. The axial suspension magnet is configured to oppose a magnetic field of a permanent magnet that is fixedly coupled to the piston and the opposing magnetic fields dampen movement of the housing relative to the piston as the first axial suspension magnet approaches the permanent magnet. A radial guide bushing is positioned within the opening surrounding a circumference of the piston. The radial guide bushing is formed of a compressible and flexible material and is configured to restrict radial movement of the housing relative to the piston.

An exciter device is configured to apply both a vibrational force and an impact force to a device-under-test. A first end of a piston is couplable to the device-under-test and a second end of the piston is aligned with a position of an impact hammer tip. The impact hammer tip and an electromagnet are both coupled to a moveable housing that is positioned around the piston. The exciter device applies a vibrational force to the device-under-test when an alternating magnetic field is applied by the electromagnet to the permanent magnet causing a linear reciprocating movement of the moveable housing relative to the piston. The exciter device applies an impact force to the device-under-test when a magnet field is applied by the electromagnet to the permanent magnet causing a linear movement of the moveable housing that is sufficient to cause the impact hammer to contact the second end of the piston.

A wearable device can include a wearable band configured to contact a user of the wearable device, an actuator, a sensor, and one or more processors in communication with the actuator and the sensor. The processors can be configured to measure a back electromotive force (“EMF”) of the actuator; determine, based on the measured back EMF, data that describes a contact force between the wearable band and the user; and determine, based on the data that describes the contact force, a quality metric describing a data quality of sensor data collected by the sensor. In some embodiments, the processor(s) can determine, generate sensor output data based on the sensor data and based at least in part on the data describing the contact force between the wearable band and the user. For example, one or more machine-learned models maybe leveraged to generate sensor output data that is compensated for the wearable band being too tight or too loose.
