  • Patent number: 7911327
    Abstract: A vibration device is provided. The vibration device includes a case, a vibrator, a coil, and a spring. The vibrator is disposed inside the case and including a magnet, a yoke, and a weight. The coil is supported by the case. The spring allows the vibrator to be elastically supported by the case. The spring includes a first coupling portion coupled to the vibrator, a second coupling portion coupled to the case, and a connecting portion connecting the first coupling portion to the second coupling portion. The second coupling portion is disposed on a concentric circle with respect to a center of the first coupling portion. A region in which the second coupling portion is disposed on the concentric circle ranges from 40% or more to less than 100% of a total region of the concentric circle.

  • Patent number: 6286637
    Abstract: A contactless eddy current brake for cars is disclosed. In the brake, two cores are arranged around the edge of a brake disc while being spaced apart from each other at an angle of 90°. Each of the cores is wound with a coil, thus forming an electric magnet. A speed sensor is positioned around the axle, thus sensing revolutions of the wheel. A control unit calculates a DC or AC control current in response to a speed signal output from the sensor, thus outputting an appropriate control current value to the coils. A current amplifier supplies the control current value from the control unit or a current value from a brake pedal to the coils of the cores. The control unit allows a DC current to be supplied to the coils when the car runs at a high speed or allows an AC current with different phases to be supplied to the coils when the car runs at a low speed or is stopped on a slope.
