Claim 0:
1. A method of driving a driven structure relative to a base structure comprising:
providing an actuator operatively disposed between the driven structure and the base structure, the actuator including a rotor fixed to the driven structure and a stator fixed to the base structure;
providing a plurality of first pole arrays on the rotor and a plurality of second pole arrays on the stator in fixed special relationship to the pole arrays on the rotor;
operatively associating a controller with each of the first and second pole arrays; and
selectively energizing the pole arrays on each of the rotor and the stator via the controller to induce driving electro-magnetic forces between the pole arrays.
