Abstract:

A method and apparatus for damping an input device, utilizes a damping element attached between a support and an input element of the input device. The damping element includes a cavity forming element and a magnetizable element. The cavity forming element defines one or more cavities containing a magnetorheological (MR) fluid. The magnetizable element is disposed at a position adjacent the MR fluid for impressing a magnetic field on the MR fluid, to thereby alter the viscosity of the MR fluid and damp the movement of the input element generated by the input. In some embodiments, the damper includes a compliant element with a porous segment having one of the one or more cavities therein containing the MR fluid, with the compliant member having a stiffness. Application of the magnetic field to the MR fluid changes the stiffness of the compliant member.
