Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a suspension line magnetic operation motion controller that transmits a required braking force in a highly effective method. SOLUTION: The controller includes: (a) a non-magnetic cylindrical casing 5 having an end connected to either of a trolley line T or a suspension line M and having a housing opening 5d on a housing end on the opposite side; (b) a housing 6 composed of a magnetic material and positioned inside the casing 5 so that the casing 5 meets a vertical axis of the housing 6; and (c) a piston 7 formed integrally with a rod 7b linearly moving inside the housing 6. The piston 7 is positioned inside the housing 6 so that one piston end is placed on one end of the housing 6 and the other piston end is abutted on a compression spring 8. The piston 7 is composed of a combination of a permanent magnet for generating a magnetic field, a magnetic piece 7a excited thereby and a first moving member. The magnetic field is generated so as to give a required braking force by grasping the piston and pulling at least one member 6 to the piston 7. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adjustable valve including a field responsive fluid within a passageway, and fluid flow adjustment through the passageway in a vibration damper.
SOLUTION: A reduction of MR fluid allowing use of lighter-weight, less-expensive hydraulic fluids for flow through a damping valve 36 of a piston 25 is allowed. In another aspect, a damper 20 includes a mechanical adjustment means for manually adjusting the damping level. Adjustment is accomplished by a moveable permanent magnet, moveable pole piece, moveable pole-and-magnet assembly, or magnetic shunt. Manual adjustment may include a knob, lever, or cable actuation. Alternately, magnetic flux is provided by an electromagnet. The valve and damper are useful in any suspension system where a damper body 22 is attached to a frame component 12, such as a bicycle frame, and a piston rod 23 is attached to a suspension component, such as a bicycle's swing arm 14.

Abstract: An adjustable valve including a passageway, a field responsive fluid within the passageway, and fluid flow adjustment through the passageway. The valve is preferably used in a vibration damper. One damper includes a body, a piston, first and second chambers, a damping valve, a piston rod, an auxiliary chamber, a passageway interconnecting to the auxiliary chamber, a field responsive fluid, a field responsive fluid valve for controlling flow to the auxiliary chamber, and pressurization means. Preferably included is a cavity partition having field responsive fluid disposed on one side and non-field responsive fluid disposed on the other. This allows a reduction of MR fluid allowing use of lighter-weight, less-expensive, hydraulic fluids for flow through the piston's damping valve. In another aspect, the damper includes mechanical adjustment means for manually adjusting the damping level. Adjustment is accomplished by a moveable permanent magnet, moveable pole piece, moveable pole-and-magnet assembly, or magnetic shunt. Manual adjustment may include a knob, lever, or cable actuation. Alternately, magnetic flux is provided by an electromagnet. The valve and damper finds utility in any suspension system where a damper body is attached to a frame component, such as a bicycle frame, and the piston rod is attached to a suspension component, such as a bicycle's swingarm.

Abstract: The invention relates to magnetorheological (MR) fluid devices (20) and the process of controlling the force in exercise equipment by utilizing the MR fluid devices. The MR fluid devices include rotary and linear acting varieties and are useful for controlled forces in exercise bicycles, recumbent exercisers, ski machines, rowing machines, and stair stepper machines. The rotary MR fluid device is comprised of a rotor (26) supported by bearings (44) and received within a housing (22). An MR fluid is received adjacent the rotor (26) and within a cavity (28) in the housing (22) and the MR fluid is controlled by an applied magnetic field to vary the operating torque resistance. Spring biasing (43) the rotor (26) allows for relaxed tolerances. Optimization of the Ri/Ro ratio is described which reduces the size and weight of the device (20). The linear acting version utilizes simple extensible pumps and an external MR fluid valve to provide a modularized system.

Abstract: A haptic interface system or force feedback system having a magnetically-controllable device that provides resistance forces opposing movement. The magnetically-controllable device is adapted for use with a force feedback computer system to provide force feedback sensations to the system's operator. The magnetically-controllable device contains a magnetically-controllable medium beneficially providing variable resistance forces in proportion to the strength of an applied magnetic field. The system further comprises a controller that executes an interactive program or event, a video display, and a haptic interface device (e.g. joystick, steering wheel) in operable contact with an operator for controlling inputs and responses to the interactive program. Based on the received inputs and on processing the program, the controller provides a variable output signal, corresponding to a feedback force, to control the magnetically-controllable device for providing dissipative resistance forces to oppose the movement of the haptic interface device and to provide the operator with a force feedback sensation.
