Abstract:
The current document is directed to non-linear haptic actuators that use a rotor, rotor-suspension, and spring subsystem to efficiently generate vibrational forces in various types of devices and appliances in which the non-linear haptic actuators are incorporated. Non-linear haptic actuators can be designed and manufactured to be more space efficient than unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules and, because most of the frictional forces produced in unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules are eliminated from non-linear haptic actuators, non-linear haptic actuators are generally more power efficient and robust than unbalanced-electric-motor and linear-resonant vibration modules.

Claim (Index 1):
A non-linear haptic actuator comprising:\n a housing; a rotor-weight component; a rotor-weight-suspension component that suspends the rotor-weight component within the housing so that the rotor-weight component oscillates along an arc-shaped path to produce unbalanced vibrational forces without contacting the housing and without rigid-surface-to-rigid-surface contact with non-linear haptic actuator components other than the housing and rotor-weight-suspension component; and an oscillation-drive component that drives the rotor-weight to oscillate back and forth along the arc-shaped path to produce vibrational forces in at least two directions.
