Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110127128FREQUENCY TUNABLE MAGNETIC DAMPING APPARATUS - A damping apparatus is disclosed comprising at least one pair of magnets and a conducting member. The at least one pair of magnets define a gap therebetween. The conducting member is coupled to a payload and positioned within the gap. The conducting member is configured to vibrate in response to a vibration of the payload. The conducting member comprises a conducting material. Vibration of the conducting member generates eddy currents in the conducting member, and the eddy currents generate a frequency-dependent damping force. The frequency-dependent damping force is adjustable based on the conducting material and a thickness of the conducting member. The conducting material and the thickness are selected to adjust the frequency-dependent damping force.06-02-2011
20110147146ENHANCED DAMPING USING CRYOGENIC COOLING - A damping apparatus is disclosed having at least one magnet, a conducting member movable relative to the magnet, a cryogenic fluid, and a channel that confines the cryogenic fluid in contact with the conducting member. The cryogenic fluid may maintain the conducting member at cryogenic temperatures, thereby increasing a damping force provided by the conducting member to a payload.06-23-2011
20110148236TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION TUNABLE MAGNETIC DAMPING - A damping apparatus is disclosed including at least one pair of magnets, a conducting member, a magnetic shunt, and a temperature sensing mechanism. The pair of magnets defines a gap therebetween. The magnets generate a magnetic flux circuit having a magnetic flux path within the gap and a magnetic flux return path outside the gap. The conducting member is positioned at least partially within the gap. The magnetic shunt is positioned at least partially within the magnetic flux return path of the magnets. The temperature sensing mechanism is coupled to the magnetic shunt. The temperature sensing mechanism is configured to control a position of the magnetic shunt based on a sensed temperature.06-23-2011
20120118687ENHANCED DAMPING USING CRYOGENIC COOLING - A damping apparatus is disclosed having at least one magnet, a conducting member movable relative to the magnet, a cryogenic fluid, and a channel that confines the cryogenic fluid in contact with the conducting member. The cryogenic fluid may maintain the conducting member at cryogenic temperatures, thereby increasing a damping force provided by the conducting member to a payload.05-17-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120092272Haptic Based User Interface for an Electronic Device - An electronics device including a haptic-based user interface, including a touch screen; an actuator coupled to the touch screen for selectively vibrating the touch screen responsive to the touch screen being depressed; and a visual display panel. The user interface further includes a plurality of suspension members disposed between the touch screen and the display panel and a plurality of seal members disposed between the suspension members such that the suspension members and the seal members define a volume between the touch panel and the visual display panel. The suspension and seal members may be formed from compressible material, such as foam materials. By separating the visual display panel from the touch panel with the suspension members in this way, vibrations from the actuator that are experienced by the visual display panel are reduced, thereby extending the useful life of the visual display panel.04-19-2012

20120134024ANTI-GLARE SURFACE TREATMENT METHOD AND ARTICLES THEREOF - A glass article including: at least one anti-glare surface having haze, distinctness-of-image, surface roughness, and uniformity properties, as defined herein. A method of making the glass article includes, for example: depositing deformable particles on at least a portion of a glass surface of the article; causing the deposited deformable particles on the surface to deform and adhere to the surface; and contacting the surface having the adhered particles with an etchant to form the anti-glare surface. A display system that incorporates the glass article, as defined herein, is also disclosed.05-31-2012
