Design and Optimization of a Voice Coil Motor With a Rotary Actuator for an Ultrasound Scanner

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2015
This paper proposes a new application for the rotary voice coil motor (VCM). In developing a low-cost ultrasound scanner for the developing world, an oscillating transducer is required to sweep over the skin. The ultrasound scanner must operate from a USB power supply in remote locations. The application requires a 3.3-N force on the coils of the motor

A Potential Method for Precision Position Self-Sensing in Voice-Coil Actuators [PDF]

, 2023
An approach for self-sensing is proposed for voice-coil actuators that have an invertible, position-dependent inductance. Actuators with these properties are denoted as position-invertible, variable-inductance (PIVI) actuators.

Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

Small, Volume 22, Issue 55, 1 October 2026.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...
