A vibration suppression unit for an aircraft comprising a vibration control frame adapted to be mounted to the aircraft and to rotate about a central axis, a first motor configured to rotate the vibration control frame about the central axis, a second motor configured to rotate a first and second center of mass about a first and second axis or rotation, a third motor configured to adjust a variable distance between the first and second centers of mass and the first and second axis of rotation, respectively, and a controller for receiving input signals and outputting command signals to the first, second and third motors.

A game controller including a housing with a first handgrip and a second handgrip is provided. The game controller includes a first vibration actuator integrated within the housing proximate to the first handgrip. Further included is a second vibration actuator integrated within the housing proximate to the second handgrip. A controller device is included and is configured to communicate one or more vibrational signals to one or both of the first vibration actuator and the second vibration actuator. The vibrational signals are configured to cause the housing of the game controller to vibrate in a vibrational pattern during use of the controller. The vibrational pattern is one of a plurality of vibrational patterns, and one or more of the plurality of vibration patterns are activated in correlation to one or more game actions occurring during gameplay of a video game using the game controller.

A screed assembly includes an auger, a cylinder, and a vibratory screed. The screed assembly may be included in an undercarriage. The undercarriage may be coupled to a carriage. The carriage may travel along a length of a framework. One or more sensors may be used to determine height information of the screed assembly relative to a surface to be paved. One or more actuators may be used to selectively adjust the height of the screed assembly based on the height information.

A tamping unit for tamping sleepers of a track includes a lowerable tool carrier and oppositely positioned tamping tools. Each tamping tool is connected via a pivot arm to a squeezing drive for producing a squeezing motion and to an electric vibration drive for producing a vibratory motion. The electric vibration drive includes an eccentric shaft which, together with a rotor of an electric motor, is mounted merely in an eccenter housing. A stator of the electric motor with a motor housing is flange-mounted to the eccenter housing. As a result of the omission of a separate motor mounting, the motor housing has a particularly small overall depth.

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.

An agitator for vibrating a drill string includes an agitator housing, a rotor and an agitation mass. The drill string has a central axis. The rotor is coupled to the agitator housing and being rotatable about an agitator axis. The agitation mass is coupled to the rotor and is rotatable about the agitator axis. During rotation, a center of mass of the agitation mass is spaced apart from the agitator axis to cause deflection of the agitator axis relative to the central axis to produce vibration in the drill string.

A vibratory drum includes a tubular drum having a longitudinal axis, and first and second vibratory generators disposed laterally relative to the longitudinal axis and opposite each other across the tubular drum. The drum also includes a frame to which the first and second vibratory generators are attached; and a plurality of resilient elements attached at a first end to the tubular drum and at a second end to the frame, whereby the vibratory motion of the generators is transferred to the tubular drum to impart a circular motion to material disposed in the tubular drum.
