The patent application (Publication Number: US20240035536A1) describes an active vibration control system that includes a driving mechanism and a control mechanism with an electromagnetic actuator. The driving mechanism applies a force on a base structure to actively control vibrations, with the system having at least two modes of vibration. The control mechanism can control the movement of the driving mechanism and tune the modes of vibration. Additionally, a control system regulates the current flow to the electromagnetic actuator, which comprises a coil and a movable member with a permanent magnet.

Furthermore, the system allows for the adjustment of vibration modes by controlling the current supplied to the coil or coil portions. The electromagnetic actuator and driving mechanism can be resiliently attached, and the system can be attached to various structures, including vehicles. The method outlined in the patent involves attaching the system to a base structure and operating the driving mechanism to apply a force to control vibrations actively. The system's versatility is highlighted by its application in different types of vehicles, such as ground-based, aquatic, or airborne vehicles. Overall, the patent presents an innovative approach to actively controlling vibrations in various settings, offering a practical solution for mitigating unwanted vibrations in different applications.
