Int. Cl. 33/00 U.S. Cl. 310--27 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electromagnetic actuator is described utilizing induced magnetic elds to displace an actuating element. The electromagnetic actuator includes means for damping recoil produced by the repelling forces.
This invention relates to electromagnetic actuators and, more particularly, to angelectromagnetic actuator in which the effect of recoil forces is minimized.
The term electromagnetic actuator, as it is used herein, is intended to refer to a device having a movable actuating element or member which is displaced in response to the production of a very strong electromagnetic eld or fields. The actuating element may be coupled to operate any suitable type of mechanism, such as a switch or circuit breaker, valve, riveter, or hammer.
An electromagnetic actuator may include a coil through which a very high current pulse is passed to produce a strong electromagnetic field. The actuating element has at least a portion thereof constructed of conductive material positioned proximate the coil. When a current pulse flows through the coil to produce a transient magnetic field, current is induced in the conductive portion of the actuating element causing an interaction between the induced current and the magnetic field thereby producing a repulsion force between the coil and actuating element which varies with the intensity of the magnetic field. Accordingly, the actuating element and the coil are strongly and suddenly repelled with respect to each other, producing displacement of the actuating element to perform the desired function.
Electromagnetic actuators generally constructed as described may be satisfactory for many purposes. For some applications, however, such as hand held electromagnetic actuators (e.g. automatic hammers and rivetters), the recoil of the coil produced from operation of the actuating element may be intolerable. For example, excessive recoil may render an electromagnetic autuator difficult or impossible to hand hold. If recoil is absorbed by making the coil movable, and by damping such movement, electrical leads and coolant connections for the coil may be subject to excessive wear.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved electromagnetic actuator.
Another object of the invention is to provide an electromagnetic actuator of improved construction wherein recoil forces are effectively absorbed.
A further object of the invention is to provide an electromagnetic actuator wherein recoil forces are effectively absorbed without subjecting electrical leads and coolant conductors to excessive wear.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGURE l is a full section side view of a particular type of electromagnetic actuator constructed in accordance with the invention; and
FIGURE 2 is a full section side view of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
Very generally, the electromagnetic actuator of the invention comprises a primary coil 11 and means 12 for supporting same. Also included is a secondary coil 13 and means 14 for supporting the secondary coil so that it is movable with respect to the primary coil. The secondary coil is positioned sufficiently close to the primary coil that a current is induced in the secondary coil upon energization of the primary coil. An actuating element 16 has a conductive portion 17 positioned sufficiently close to the secondary coil to be repelled with respect to the secondary coil upon energization of the primary coil. A damping device 18 is provided for damping movement of the secondary coil.
Referring now more particularly to FIGURE 1, the electromagnetic actuator illustrated therein constitutes an electromagnetic hammer which may be utilized for driving nails. The hammer includes an outer housing consisting of a generally cylindrical main section 21 closed at one end and a generally -frusto conical front cover section 22 bolted at its base to the other end of the main section at mating flanges 23. A handle 24 is cost integral with the main section of the housing at the one end thereof. The main section of the housing is provided with a boss 26 to which a suitable handle 27 is attached. An opening 28 is provided in the closed end of the main section of the housing axially thereof for purposes which will be explained below. Similarly, an axial opening 29 is provided centrally of the front cover section 22 of the housing 4for purposes which are also explained below.
The primary coil 11 is disposed within the main section 21 and consists of a plurality of turns wound upon a supporting core 12 of conductive material having a helical groove 31 in its outer surface for accommodating the coil turns. The supporting core is provided with a gap or slit (not shown) so that the core does not act as a shorted turn. The primary coil support means or core 12 is embedded in an annular liner 32 of a suitable insulating material such as epoxy. The liner 32 is secured to the interior surface of the housing 21-22 to be supported thereby. Accordingly the coil 11 is supported in fixed relation to the housing. Electrical connections, not illustrated, for the coil 11 are connected to one end of a cable 33 which passes through a suitable passage, not illustrated, within the handle 27. Flexible conduits for passing coolant through the liner 32 in order to cool the coil 11 may also be provided in the cable 33. A trigger 35 is provided in the handle 27 to initiate operation of the electromagnetic hammer as described below.
As shown in FIGURE 1, the secondary coil 13 is disposed within the space defined by the Supporting core 12 and consists of a hollow cylinder of conductive material having a portion 34 of increased thickness toward the front end thereof. The secondary coil is provided with a gap or slit 36, which may fbe open or filled with a suitable insulating material, so that the secondary coil does not constitute a shorted turn. The rear end of the secondary coil 13 is disposed in an annular recess 37 at the periphery of a disk 38 of insulating material which is supported by the damping device 18, as hereinafter described.
The actuating element 16 is disposed at the front end of the secondary coil 13 coaxially therewith and it has an approximately frusto conical front surface. Its rear surface is provided with an axial recess 41 in order that its mass will be substantially less than the mass of the secondary coil 13, the reason bein-g explained below. The conductive portion 17 of the actuating element 16 is a. generally annular strip surrounding the recess 41 and lying in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the actuating element 16. A layer 42 of insulating material is disposed on the secondary coil 13 facing the strip 17. A cylindrical hammer portion 43 extends along the axis of the actuating element 16 and projects through the opening 29 in the front section 22. The tip of the hammer portion 43 is provided with a recess 44 therein in which -a nail head may be captured. This facilitates alignment of the electromagnetic actuator with the nail and aids in driving the nail.
A coil spring 46 extends from the rear end of the housing 21-22 to the disk 38 and is maintained under compression to bias the disk 38 against the rear end of the secondary coil 13 (towards the left in FIGURE 1). A second coil spring 47 extends from an annular recess 48 in the front section 22 of the housing to engage the front surface of the actuating element 16. The spring 47 is maintained under compression to bias the actuating e1ement against the secondary coil 13 at the widened portion 34' thereof. Electrical separation is maintained by the insulation layer 42. The bias of the spring 46 is stronger than the bias of the spring 47 so that the normal position of the elements of the electromagnetic actuator will Ibe as shown in FIGURE 1 when the primary coil 11 is not energized.
In order to damp movement of the secondary coil 13 when the device is operated, the damping means 18 is provided. Such damping means includes the coil spring 46 and also includes a dash-pot comprising a fluid filled cylinder 51, a piston 52, and a piston rod 53 coupling the piston 52 to the disc 38. The cylinder 51 is supported in the opening 28 of the housing main section 21.
When the electromagnetic actuator of FIGURE 1 is to lbe operated, a pulse of current is applied to the primary coil 11. Thi-s pulse of current may be derived from any suitable source. For example, a satisfactory pulse circuit, not illustrated, may include a capacitor bank charged Iby suitable high voltage rectifier circuit and which is suddenly discharged through a switch, such as a battery of ignitrons.
Energization of the primary coil 11 through application of a high current pulse thereto produce a very strong transient magnetic field. This magnetic field is shaped by the secondary coil due to the current induced in the secondary coil by the field produced by the primary coil. The resulting magnetic field has lines of force which pass through the hollow center of the secondary coil 13 and surround both the secondary coil and primary coil as illustrated by the dotted line 56 in the drawing.
The .field produced by the secondary coil induces current in the conductive portion 17 of the actuating element 16, which is immediately adjacent the secondary coil 13. The interaction Ibetween the induced current and the magnetic field subjects the secondary coil and the actuating element to a repulsion force varying with the intensity of the magnetic field. The actuating element and the secondary coil are therefore strongly repelled with respect to each other, the actuating element tending to move to the left in the FIGURE 1 and the secondary coil 13 tending to move to the right in FIGURE 1. The foregoing action drives the hammer portion 43 of the device against the nail disposed in the recess 44 to drive the nail.
Because the mass of the actuating element 16 is substantially less than the mass of the secondary coil 13, the kinetic energy imparted to the actuating element is greater (the Ikinetic energy imparted to the two bodies ibeing inversely proportioned to their respective masses). This enhances efficiency and affords some reduction in the recoil which must be absorbed by the remainder of the electromagnetic actuator.
The kinetic energy which is imparted to the secondary coil 13 as a result of the current pulse in the primary coil 11 drives the secondary coil to the right in FIGURE 1. This energy is absorbed by the damping means 18 consisting of the spring 46 and the dash-pot 51-52. The energy which is imparted to the housing 21-22, and hence the energy which the operator holding the electromagnetic actuator must contend with, is minimal. After the energy is absorbed, the 'bias of the spring 46 returns the device to the illustrated position, against the bias of the spring 47 and the drag on the dash-pot piston 52. Since no axial force is imparted to the coil 11, no force operates directly upon the housing 21422, making it easy for the operator to hold the device.
Referring now to FIGURE 2, an alternative embodi ment of the invention is illustrated. The device illustrated in FIGURE 2 is also an electromagnetic hammer and elements thereof substantially identical in function to those elements in the embodiment of FIGURE l are given identical reference numerals preceded by a l.
In the embodiment of FIGURE 2, the primary or stationary coil 111, although coaxial with the secondary or movable coil 113, is positioned inside of the secondary coil. The insulation material or liner 132 is of a different configuration from t-hat in the embodiment of FIGURE 1, consisting Igenerally of a cylindrical support projecting axially in the housing 121-122. The secondary coil 113 is able to slide axially back and forth upon operation of the device to drive the actuating element 116. Recoil forces on the secondary coil 113 are absorbed by the absorbing means 118 which, in the embodiment of FIGURE 2, consist of only a coil spring 146. If desired, however, a suitable energy absorbing means, such as a dash-pot, may be incorporated in the device.
Although described herein in connection with electromagnetic hammers, the invention is not so limited, nor is it limited to hand held tools. Thus, the invention may be used in connection with stationary arrangements where it becomes desirable to minimize recoil of an electromagnetic actuator. As previously mentioned, such applications may be in the actaution of valves, switches, etc.
It may therefore :be seen that the invention provides an improved electromagnetic actuator in which recoil is minimized. Because the primary coil 11 or 111 is stationary relative to the housing, excessive wear and tear on electrical leads or coolant conduits is avoided. Moreover, construction of coils generally of the illustrated configuration facilitates manufacture and enhances operational life expectancy.

Shortly after submitted my resume, I was contacted by Frontline via phone. After spending a little over 30 minutes with them, I had managed to talk to three different people about 4 job opportunities. These were not just jobs, they were positions that truly interested me. In...more less than a week, I had already had three in person interviews, and two offers. After working at my new place for a week, I can say I am very satisfied with the opportunity that Frontline worked hard to offer me. They walked me through all of the pros and cons of each opportunity and never stopped looking for the bests job. I think they were truly interested in my future. I recommend them to anyone looking for a technology based job.view less

Dickey happily volunteers
PHOENIX Many big-name pitchers found reason to say no to the World Baseball Classic. R.A. Dickey was an automatic yes.
The knuckleball master, winner of the NL Cy Young Award with the New York Mets last season now plying his unorthodox trade with Toronto, made it known before anyone asked him that he wished to play.
Now he will start for the United States in its WBC opener Friday night against Mexico, something he calls "one of the greater privileges of my athletic career."
At 38, Dickey is the oldest player on the U. S. roster. As such, he remembers being a part of the U.S. team at the 1996 Olympics and wants to atone for the disappointment of that bronze medal of 17 years ago.
"So this is a chance to redeem that in a lot of ways," he said. Dickey is one of three starting pitchers on the 28-man U.S. roster competing in Group D in Arizona. San Francisco's Ryan Vogelsong will start Saturday night against Italy, with Texas' Derek Holland going against Canada on Sunday.
In Thursday's games:
Dominican Republic 9, Venezuela 3: Jose Reyes had four hits and Hanley Ramirez homered to lead the Dominicans in the Pool C opener in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Italy 6, Mexico 5: Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run double off San Francisco Giants closer Sergio Romo to give Italy the victory in the opening game of Pool D.
Netherlands 6, Cuba 2: Jonathan Schoop had three hits and four RBI to lead the Netherlands to victory.

RSL Cannons and Hay playing for DDCA crown
The Deniliquin District Cricket Association's 2013/14 season comes to a head tomorrow when RSL hosts Hay in the grand final.February 21, 2014 4:55am
The battle for supremacy in the Deniliquin District Cricket Association will be fought tomorrow when a red-hot RSL Cannons combination meets T20 premier Hay in a highly anticipated grand final showdown.
In what is a re-match of the entertaining T20 final, which Hay won in a thriller, RSL will be without key players Sandy Cheelam (overseas) and Peter Lewis (wedding).
The grand final will be played at Memorial Park's no. 3 oval from 1pm, and both sides are fresh from a week's rest after the DDCA declared round 15 a washout.
The Hybrids have faith that their T20 final victory earlier in the season gives them the edge this weekend.
They also defeated RSL in round 12.
But despite losing those games, the Cannons, who are the minor premiers, have been the team to beat for most of the season, with a superb mix of young talent and experience.
Hay on the other hand are capable of anything, with a long batting line-up, as well as a band of top quality bowlers capable of producing big wicket hauls.
Cannons skipper Pat Keane is confident his batting line-up will stand tall, and believes that's where the match will be won.
''We have to make a good score if we want to win. Probably around 160-180,'' Keane said.
''I reckon we can do it. We're batting on MP3 and Rick Parks and Ollie Draffin are both in good form.''
Rock solid Ted Eason will open the batting for RSL tomorrow, alongside the explosive Draffin.
The big-hitting Parks comes in at first drop, followed by Mitch O'Brien and the experienced Keane.
Ben Nisbet, Matt Johnson and Kyle Ives secure the middle order. The tail includes Jonty Tubb, Liam Chaplin and Daniel Nisbet, all capable of runs.
RSL/West's bowling is led by pacemen Daniel Nisbet and Johnson, who will open the bowling tomorrow.
Spinner O'Brien has recovered from a nasty wrist injury and could also be a key asset.
Hay's batting line-up includes the in-form Ben Holmes, young star Luke Arandt, veteran Scott Wall and skipper Ian Bunyan.
There is very little separating these two sides, which should make for a tight and very entertaining final.
Once again the Cannons have breezed through the season but they still haven't won the flag since one half of its franchise, West, won in 2001/02.
Tomorrow's game starts at 1pm, and will be umpired by Greg Collins and Warren Hunt.
Selection: RSL Cannons.

CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/28/13 -- Canadian manufacturing organizations have embraced workflow and resource management software to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize productivity across their company structure. However, implementing, customizing, and upgrading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems can be very resource intensive, both in terms of human and financial resources. Fortunately, grant funding for small business exists to help minimize the financial burden by covering a variety of costs, including internal labour, subcontractor fees, training, and documentation.
The Canadian government funding programs available to SME's support in-house and popular ERP platforms, including Microsoft Dynamics (aka Microsoft Great Plains), Epicor, Infor, Oracle, and SAP. Four of the top Canadian government funding programs for ERP Implementation are detailed below.
The IRAP Accelerated Review Process (ARP): $50K Grant
This government funding for small business program is available for incorporated Canadian companies that conduct some form of research and development in-house. Under these conditions, this small business grants program will support 80% of direct labour costs and 50% of subcontractor fees, up to $50,000. Companies often carry out these products to enhance data integrity and optimize workflow before implementing their new or existing ERP system. Projects related to the integration of an ERP system with another business system, such as a CRM or accounting software suite are also suitable project themes. IRAP funding is available across Canada and the program runs from April 1st to March 31st annually.
The IRAP Digital Technology Adoption Pilot Program (DTAPP): $100K Grant
Grant funding for business provided through this program is aimed at supporting Canadian companies that are looking to increase internal efficiencies by adopting new forms of technology. ERP projects are eligible for up to $100,000 in small business funding grants which covers up to 80% of direct labour and 75% of subcontractor costs associated with the ERP adoption or upgrade project.
The Graduate Enterprise Internship (GEI), iSTEM: $15K Hiring Grant
GEI, or "iSTEM", provides small business funding grants for hiring recent grads. SME's are able to hire graduates from any of the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math). This Ontario government funding for small business hiring program covers 50% of a recent graduate's wages up to $10,000 for a recent graduate of a Bachelor's degree program, and up to $15,000 for a Master's or PhD graduate for a six-month work term. Recent graduates hired through this program can help the recipient firm with their ERP project.
The Yves Landry AIME Initiative: $50K Training Grant
Companies in the manufacturing sector can also take advantage of a fourth Canadian small business grants program that will cover 50% of trainer expenses and direct labour hours of trainees, up to $50,000 in small business funding grant towards all training activities related to your ERP system, as well as documentation and SOP creation.
Canadian Government Funding Updates and Support
Mentor Works Ltd. provides SME's with Canadian government funding for business advice to help with the selection and application processes. To stay up to date on the available small business funding grants and loans, please subscribe to our Canadian Government Funding Weekly E-Newsletter.

Hugo, 2011.
Directed by Martin Scorsese.
Starring Ben Kingsley, Asa Butterfield, Sacha Baron Cohen and Chloe Grace Moretz.
A young orphaned boy becomes wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.
Hugo is one of those strange movies. One of those movies that you know probably deserves a couple of those little gold statues, but at the same time you can wander out of the cinema and not remember anything specific about it. It's a love letter to older cinema, older films that deserves to stay in the memories of film lovers the world over, but at the same time Hugo is forgettable. The older films that it pays obvious platitudes to are cheaper, worse looking affairs. But they also have a lot more magic.
Not to say I didn't like Hugo. It's a shame when this happens, but because it's Martin Scorsese »

Peter LaBarbera Insists Homophobes Are Just Born That Way
In his interview with Peter LaBarbera this week, former InfoWars reporter David Ortiz argued that homophobia, especially for straight men, is "intuitive" and that the only sensible reaction to homosexuality is revulsion.
"If homosexuality was so normal, why is it every man's instinctive response at first is to be disgusted by that?" he asked.
LaBarbera kicked it up a notch with the assertion that "homophobia" is a made-up word, manufactured by LGBT advocates to gain mainstream acceptance and vilify those who are inherently repelled by homosexuality.
"You're absolutely right, there is a natural inhibition against homosexual behavior," LaBarbera said. "I'm worried that young people are so brainwashed and they're so indoctrinated that they're losing that natural sense that we have."
