  • Patent number: 10845883
    Abstract: The novel linear resonance actuator driving pattern embodied by the AC driving signal waveform may have an all positive (or all negative) actuation, starting oscillations with a first frequency just under the resonance frequency of the linear resonance actuator driving in a first time segment of the drive period. In the first time segment, the amplitude of the AC driving signal also reaches a local maximum. The frequency is then increased to the resonance frequency in a second time segment longer than the first time segment. In the second time segment, the amplitude reaches an overall peak amplitude. Then, the driving frequency along with the amplitude is gradually reduced in a third time segment longer than the second time segment.
