    摘要: Optical apparatus (64) includes a stator assembly (47), which includes a core (78, 90, 91) containing an air gap and one or more coils (80, 92, 94, 116, 120) including conductive wire wound on the core so as to cause the core to form a magnetic circuit through the air gap in response to an electrical current flowing in the conductive wire. A scanning mirror assembly (45, 83, 85, 130) includes a support structure (68), a base (72), which is mounted to rotate about a first axis relative to the support structure, and a mirror (46), which is mounted to rotate about a second axis relative to the base. At least one rotor (76, 132) includes one or more permanent magnets, which are fixed to the scanning mirror assembly and which are positioned in the air gap so as to move in response to the magnetic circuit. A driver (82) is coupled to generate the electrical current in the one or more coils.

    摘要: In an embodiment, an actuator or circuit includes elements moveably coupled via bearings positioned between curved grooves. The bearings and the curves may exert a restorative force to return the elements to an original position after movement and may be spherical, cubic, cylindrical, and/or include gears that interact with groove gears. In some embodiments, an electrical coil may be coplanar with a surface of an element and a hard magnet may be positioned in the center and be polarized to stabilize or destabilize the element with respect to another element. In various embodiments, a magnetic circuit includes an element with an electrical coil wrapped in multiple directions around the element. In some embodiments, an actuator includes attraction elements and exertion of force causes an element to approach, contact, and/or magnetically attach to one of the attraction elements.

    摘要: Disclosed is an electromagnetic vibratory pump, comprising a first C-shaped winding and a first magnet. The first C-shaped winding comprises a first coil and a first electromagnetizable member. The first coil covers the first electromagnetizable member, which comprises a first main body, a first leg and a second leg. The legs are connected to the first main body, and the distance between the legs is reduced from a first width to a second width from the first main body. The first magnet swings in a circular tangential direction. A point of tangency of the circular tangential direction is configured apart from the first leg and the second leg respectively by a first minimum distance. The first minimum distance is less than a half of the second width. The first magnet is driven by the first magnetic line of force to move in the first circular tangential direction, and the first magnet is driven by the second magnetic line of force to move in the second circular tangential direction.
