  • Restricting undesired movement of a haptic actuator
    Patent number: 12244253
    Abstract: A method for minimizing undesired movement of a moving mass of an electromagnetic load may include detecting undesired movement of the moving mass based on real-time measurements of one or more parameters associated with the electromagnetic load and, responsive to detecting undesired movement of the moving mass, affecting a signal applied to the moving mass to reduce the undesired movement.
    Type: Grant
