摘要： The, present invention is a gripper for use in combination with a machine for repositioning a component. Structurally, the present invention includes a housing formed with a chamber. A fixed-pole housing magnet is positioned inside of the chamber. A pair of grips are slidingly mounted for movement relative to the housing. Each grip is partially contained in the chamber and partially projects from the housing. An electromagnetic coil is attached to each grip. Functionally, the gripper is positioned with an assembly component between the grips. A separate electric current is then passed through each of the electromagnetic coils mounted on each of the respective grips. The electric current causes each electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field which interacts with the housing magnet. The interaction between the magnetic fields generated by the electromagnetic coils and the housing magnet creates a force on each grip, causing each grip to move translationally to hold, or squeeze, the component. The machine may then be utilized to reposition the gripper and the component.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a linear voice coil actuator, capable of continuously generating a one hundred kilogram force with less than two amperes of current, requires using a coil for generating an electrical field and an unsaturated permanent magnet circuit for generating a magnetic field. In the method of manufacture, a flat surface of the electrical coil is positioned parallel to a flat surface of the magnet to establish a gap therebetween. Before operating the actuator, when no current is running through the coil, a distance of approximately 0.75 mm is established across the gap. Subsequently, during operation of the actuator, when a current of less than approximately two amperes is driven through the coil, the electrical field generated by the coil interacts with the magnetic field of the magnet to generate as much as a 100 kg force on the coil.

摘要： An electric voice coil actuator includes two coils slidingly mounted on a ferromagnetic housing. The coils, which are connected to each other in most applications, are mounted co-axially for linear reciprocal movement in respective magnetic fields. The north poles of a first pair of magnets are affixed to the housing to create the magnetic fields in which the first coil moves. The south poles of a second pair of magnets are affixed to the housing to create the magnetic fields in which the second coil moves. Alternately, the coils can move in the same magnetic field. Opposing poles of the pairs of magnets are affixed to the housing to prevent magnetic saturation of the housing. The coils are electrically connected to an electric current source to produce magnetic fields that interact with the magnetic fields of the magnets to cause movement of the coils. The electric current source may be electrically connected in parallel to each coil, to cause substantially identical movement of the coils. The coordinated movement of the two coils produces more motive force than one coil. Alternatively, the coils may be electrically connected to separate electric current sources. Employing separate current sources permits using the second coil to oppose the movement of the first coil, to brake the motion of the coils for more accurate positioning of the coils.

摘要： A system for programming and controlling the movement of a probe of a voice coil actuator along a path includes a control module that is mounted on a voice coil actuator. Specifically, the control module is connected to a clock and to an encoder to selectively establish a plurality of sequential positions for the probe. Each position in this sequence is defined by a location on the path (translation and rotation), and a time at the location. More specifically, the control module includes a key pad for inputting data to identify each position and also, there is a display for providing a visual presentation of the data. In operation the plurality of sequential positions specify a work cycle for the probe and the voice coil actuator uses the input data to perform a series of work cycles.

摘要： This invention describes a compact linear moving coil actuator that incorporates a piston bobbin coil assembly that provides a shaft with linear reciprocal movement. Optionally, a rotary motor can be coupled to the shaft to provide rotary reciprocal movement. The piston and bobbin sections of the piston bobbin coil assembly may be integrally formed as a single unitary piece and easily changed in size and/or configuration during manufacture to enable easier and more cost-effective assembly of various actuator sizes and configurations. Additionally, the compact size of the actuator requires less work space and also allows multiple actuators to be positioned next to each for various applications.

摘要： A method of providing position estimation with a navigation device comprises periodically recording magnetic field strength of an area substantially surrounding a navigation device as a user of the navigation device traverses a select pathway. The method combines the recorded magnetic field strength with measurements from at least a dead reckoning portion of the navigation device to provide position estimates along the select pathway. The method further corrects each of the position estimates from a starting position on the select pathway, where each of the corrected position estimates have an error value below one or more previous position estimates and any intervening positions between each of the one or more previous position estimates and the starting position, with the error value corresponding to an error threshold based on the previous position estimates.

摘要： An oscillator is provided having a plurality of cascade coupled inverters Each one of the inverters is a differential amplifier having a p-input and an n-input. The output of each one of the amplifiers is connected to: the n-input of the next succeeding amplifier to provide a closed loop, or ring oscillator; and, the p-input of an amplifier positioned an even number of amplifier stages forward of such next succeeding amplifier. In a preferred embodiment, each amplifier in the ring includes an n channel transistor (nMOS transistor) connected in a totem pole arrangement, to a p channel transistor (pMOS transistor). The gate of the nMOS transistor provides the n-input and gate of the pMOS transistor provides the p-input. The source and drain paths of the pMOS and nMOS transistors are connected together to provide an output for the amplifier. With such arrangement, because the gate of the more slowly responding pMOS transistor is driven before the gate of the nMOS transistor the oscillator is adapted to operate at a higher frequency of oscillation.
