Sine pulse actuation, and associated systems and methods

Abstract:

Sine pulse actuation, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for actuating an actuator includes: supplying a first input to the actuator, where the first input corresponds to a rising edge of a first sine function; supplying a second input to the actuator, where the second input corresponds to a generally constant amplitude plateau; and supplying a third input to the actuator, where the third input corresponds to a falling edge of a second sine function. The first, second and third inputs are control inputs or actuation inputs.
