Abstract: A haptic actuator may include a housing, a stator coupled to a medial interior portion of the housing, and a field member within the housing and having an opening receiving the stator therein. The field member may include a frame, and at least one permanent magnet carried by the frame. The at least one permanent magnet may include side-by-side magnetic segments having alternating magnetic polarizations with at least one non-vertical magnetic polarization transition zone between adjacent magnetic segments.

Abstract: A device includes a button, a base, a haptic engine coupled to the base, and a fastener fastening the button to the base and allowing movement of the button with respect to the base. The movement of the button with respect to the base enables, in part, a better alignment of the button with a device housing to which the base is attached. The haptic engine may include a core, an electric coil wound around a portion of the core, and an attraction plate separated from the core by a gap. The base may include a frame, a set of tabs extending from the core and fastened to the button to allow the movement of the button with respect to the base, and a set of flexures extending from the tabs and coupling the core to the frame. The attraction plate may also be coupled to the frame.

Abstract: A haptic actuator may include a housing, and a stator fixed to a medial interior portion of the housing. The haptic actuator may also include a field member having an opening receiving the stator therein. The field member may include a frame and at least one permanent magnet carried by the frame. The haptic actuator may also include at least one flexure coupled between an end of the frame and adjacent interior portions of the housing to permit reciprocal movement of the field member within the housing responsive to the stator.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a haptic feedback module for generating a haptic feedback event is described. The haptic feedback module includes an enclosure having walls that define a cavity. The enclosure is capable of carrying operational components within the cavity that include a frame that includes tungsten, a magnetic coil element that is capable of generating a magnetic field, a magnetic element that is carried within an aperture of the frame, linear-actuation end stops that are welded to a first end of the frame and a second end of the frame that opposes the first end, and springs that couple together the walls of the enclosure to the linear-actuation end stops.

Abstract: A device includes a frame and a haptic engine. The frame defines at least one flexure. The haptic engine includes a core attached to the frame, an attraction plate attached to the at least one flexure, and an electric coil wound around at least a portion of the core. The attraction plate is separated from the core by a gap. The electric coil, when energized, creates a magnetic field that causes a width of the gap to temporarily change. Some embodiments include a cushioning pad positioned within the gap or a layer of compliant material that attaches the attraction plate to the at least one flexure or the frame.
