Abstract
This paper reports a highly simple and robust levitation method realized by ferrofluid for micromotor applications. A layer of ferrofluid is self-sustained on a permanent magnet to serve as liquid bearing that lifts the magnet up on the substrate, enabling low-friction movements of the magnet. A levitation height of ~500 μm is observed with a 1.6-mm-sized NdFeB magnet. The load carrying capacity and friction force of the ferrofluid-levitated magnet are measured to be ~2.9 g and 14 μN, respectively. The levitated magnet is electromagnetically driven by microfabricated planar coils to demonstrate a linear micromotor. The dynamic responses of the magnet slider are characterized in detail and shown to match well with the results from electromagnetic simulations of the driving coil. The actuation force of 386 μN or greater is obtained. Using the electromagnetic rail track that contains a micropatterned array of planar coils, continuous actuation of the slider along the array is achieved with the average velocity of 19 mm/s. The feasibility of stepping displacements between two adjacent coils is demonstrated by controlling power distribution to the two coils.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
