Described herein are “Ultrahapticons,” which are a set of tangible and recognizable mid-air haptic icons that have been derived from research study participants' metaphorical associations with car infotainment features. In line with semiotic theory (the study of signs), data from the study was analyzed to identify key characteristics that when realized in mid-air haptic form, would enable a user to “feel” the feature they are interacting with. Their use is not limited to an automotive context, they can be instrumented to any application that exhibits the same feature functionality i.e. home entertainment system, laptop UI's, digital communication, Extended Reality (XR), and the like.

Adjustable vibratory drive system
11065647 · 2021-07-20 · ·

A vibratory drive system, suitable for a material screening apparatus, includes rotatable drive shafts each having a centre of mass offset from its rotational axis. A respective drive mechanism is coupled to each drive shaft and is controlled by a controller. The controller adjusts the relative rotational speed of the drive shafts to adjust the relative angular position of the respective centre of mass of the drive shafts. This adjustment allows the vibratory characteristics of the drive system to be changed without having to halt the drive system.

HAPTIC GAME CONTROLLER WITH DUAL LINEAR VIBRATION ACTUATORS
20210121915 · 2021-04-29 · ·

The disclosure relates to integrated modules for Synchronized Array of Vibration Actuators (FIG. 125A). The modules provide physical interface, power and communication interfaces. Each module may include vibration actuators (FIG. 123A) which can be precisely attached and aligned to the module housing, a microcontroller or other microprocessor, and one or more sensors for closed loop control of actuators (FIG. 126G). Interleaved pairs of ERMs having a center of mass in the same plane eliminate parasitic torque. A single module can produce a vibration force that rotates at a specific frequency and magnitude, which on its own could cancel out some types of periodic vibrations (FIG. 125B). Two modules paired together and counter-rotating with respect to each other can produce a directional vibration at a specific frequency and magnitude, which could prove even more useful for canceling out a vibration. Such modules are also employed to produce beating patterns (FIGS. 131-133). Both amplitude and frequency of the beating force are variable.
