Abstract: A system may include a tactile actuator for providing tactile feedback and a resonant phase sensing system. The resonant phase sensing system may include a resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and a measurement circuit communicatively coupled to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor and the tactile actuator. The resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor may be configured to measure phase information associated with the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor, based on the phase information, detect an indication of human interaction with the system proximate to the resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor, and trigger the tactile actuator to generate tactile feedback responsive to detecting the indication of human interaction.

Abstract: A system may include an electromagnetic actuator, a first coil configured to drive mechanical displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, a second coil configured to drive mechanical displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, and an inductance sensing subsystem having an inductance sensing path coupled to the first coil and the second coil. The inductance sensing subsystem may be configured to select one of the first coil and the second coil for driving mechanical displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, select the other of the first coil and the second coil as a sensing coil for sensing displacement of the electromagnetic actuator, determine a displacement of the electromagnetic actuator based on a measurement of estimated inductance of the sensing coil, and when switching selection of the sensing coil from the first coil to the second coil determine the displacement of the first coil based on a measured inductance of the first coil at approximately the time of switching selection, estimate state variables of the inductance sensing path to be used with the second coil based on the displacement, and apply the state variables to the inductance sensing path after switching selection of the sensing coil from the first coil to the second coil.
