Publication number: 20220093842Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to an apparatus including a housing, one or more piezoresistive elements and a magnetic actuator. The housing includes a membrane, and the piezoresistive elements are disposed on the membrane to sense a displacement due to a deflection of the membrane. The magnetic actuator is disposed inside a cavity of the housing. The magnetic actuator exerts a repulsive force onto the membrane to reduce the deflection of the membrane.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2020Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Majid KHAN, Roberto M.

Publication number: 20220065958Abstract: Disclosed is a compact, multi-user magnetic tracking system. In an embodiment, a compactness is achieved by using a single coil and inertial sensors at the transmitter and magnetometers and inertial sensors at the receiver for sensing the magnetic field generated by the single coil and for determining a position and attitude of the receiver relative to the transmitter. The transmitter and receiver each include a wireless transceiver for exchanging clock synchronization data and sending transmitter attitude data to the receiver. In another embodiment, frequency or time division multiplexing is used to differentiate between multiple users of the multi-user magnetic tracking system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Guangwu Duan, Jian Guo, John Greer Elias, Savas Gider

Patent number: 11199425Abstract: Magnetic sensing technology can be used to detect changes, or disturbances (e.g., changes in magnetic field strength), in magnetic fields and can be used to measure the precise location/positioning of an electronic device in proximity to a magnetic source. In order to avoid interference by earth's static magnetic field, a modulated magnetic field can be used for magnetic based proximity sensing. Received modulated magnetic field signals can be demodulated to determine a received magnetic field strength. A drive current of a magnetic transmitter coil can be varied to maintain the detected magnetic field strength at a target value or within a desirable range. The drive current can also be varied to remain below a burnout current level that can cause damage to the transmitter coil.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Savas Gider, Jian Guo, John Greer Elias
