Systems and methods for reducing vibrations perceived by a human due to an artificial heart valve include a vest that is wearable around a torso of the human, a plurality of sensors mounted to the vest, a plurality of vibration-generating actuators mounted to the vest, and a controller. The plurality of sensors detects vibrations in the human generated by the artificial heart valve. The controller is operable to receive signals representing the detected vibrations from the plurality of sensors, and is operable to produce anti-vibration signals that substantially attenuate the detected vibrations. A first sensor of the plurality of sensors is located near a first vibration-generating actuator of the plurality of vibration-generating actuators to form a sensor/actuator set. In the sensor/actuator set, the anti-vibration signals generated by the controller for the first vibration-generating actuator correspond to the vibrations detected by the first sensor.

Vibration suppression apparatus

A system provides haptic functionality over a networked system. The system receives information from a first device registered at the networked system and determines a notification to be provided to a user based on the information. The system then selects a second device registered at the networked system and provides the notification to the user by producing a haptic effect on the second device.

Haptic functionality for network connected devices

A system provides overlaid haptic effects. The system determines a primary content and a primary haptic effect associated with the primary content. The system also determines a secondary content and a secondary haptic effect associated with the secondary content. Subsequently, the system outputs the secondary content concurrently with the primary content, and also outputs the secondary haptic effect concurrently with the primary haptic effect on at least one haptic output device.
