摘要： A haptic actuator may include first and second bodies movable along an arcuate path of travel. The haptic actuator may also include a biasing member coupled between the first and second bodies. At least one electrical coil may be configured to move the first and second bodies to produce a haptic effect.

摘要： An electronic device that is operable to provide electrical haptic output includes a touch surface and multiple haptic cells disposed on the touch surface. The multiple haptic cells include capacitors that are operable to store charges independently of each other and independently provide haptic output when touched by a body by discharging the stored charge to create a current. In this way, a wide variety of dynamically configurable haptic outputs can be provided without moving parts and without consuming the space and/or power used for haptic actuators that vibrate and/or otherwise move a mass.

摘要： Embodiments are disclosed for a haptic engine module that includes AROD magnets. The AROD magnets comprise two adjacent magnets with opposite polarization and adjacent coils above and/or below the magnets. The magnets and coils are adjacent in along direction, which is the direction that is perpendicular to the vibration direction (the direction of the Lorentz force) and to the polarization direction (the direction of magnetic flux). When in operation, excitation current flows in the two coils in opposite directions. The haptic engine module can be embedded in an electronic device with an extreme aspect ratio (e.g., a touch bar of a notebook computer) to provide haptic force (e.g., vibration, click) that can be felt by a user holding or touching the electronic device.

摘要： A linear haptic actuator may include an actuator housing and at least one coil carried by the actuator housing. The linear haptic actuator may also include field members moveable along a path of travel within the actuator housing in response to the at least one coil and a respective end biasing member between each end field member and adjacent portions of the actuator housing. A respective internal biasing member may be between adjacent field members.

摘要： A haptic actuator may include a housing having opposing first and second ends and first and second coils carried by the housing adjacent respective first and second ends thereof. Each coil may have a respective passageway therethrough. The actuator may include a field member including first and second masses adjacent respective first and second ends of the housing, and a permanent magnet having first and second ends coupled to respective ones of the first and second masses. The actuator may also include first and second flexures mounting respective first and second masses to the respective first and second ends of the housing so that the field member is reciprocally movable within the passageways of the coils responsive to powering the coils and so that the ends of the permanent magnet are within respective passageways of the coils when the coils are unpowered.
