    摘要: A tamper sensing system mounted with respect to a protected structure so as to have corresponding stress changes occur therein in response to selected kinds of tamperings with said protected structure comprising a first pair of stress affected magnetoresistive memory devices each capable of having a magnetic material layer therein established in a selected one of a pair of alternative magnetization states if in a first kind of stress condition and of being established in a single magnetization state if in an alternative second kind of stress condition, and the magnetic material layer in each having a magnetization in a first direction in one of the pair of alternative magnetization states and in a second direction in that remaining one of the pair of magnetization states. A first magnetizing electrical conductor extends adjacent to each of the first pair of stress affected magnetoresistive memory devices to establish said magnetic material layer in that one of said pair of alternative magnetization states thereof so as to have its said corresponding magnetization be oppositely directed with respect to said magnetization of that other. The first pair of stress affected magnetoresistive memory devices can each be provided by a spin dependent tunneling device having differing numbers of magnetization states available thereto depending on whether being in differing ones of alternative stress conditions.

    摘要: A current determiner having an output (60) at which representations of input currents are provided including an input conductor (25) for the input current and a current sensor (54) supported on a substrate (10) electrically isolated from one another but with the sensor (54) positioned in the magnetic fields arising about the input conductor (25) due to any input currents. The sensor (54) extends along the substrate (10) in a direction primarily perpendicular to the extent of the input conductor and is formed of at least a pair of thin-film ferromagnetic layers (12, 13) separated by a non-magnetic conductive layer (14). The sensor (54) can be electrically connected to an electronic circuitry (26-27, 51-52, 58-60) formed in the substrate (10) including a nonlinearity adaptation circuit to provide representations of the input currents of increased accuracy despite nonlinearities in the current sensor (54), and can include further current sensors (54, 55) in bridge circuits.

    摘要: A ferromagnetic thin-film based digital memory having a substrate supporting bit structures that are electrically interconnected with information storage and retrieval circuitry and having magnetic material films in which a characteristic magnetic property is substantially maintained below an associated critical temperature above which such magnetic property is not maintained separated by at least one layer of a nonmagnetic material with each bit structure having an interconnection structure providing electrical contact thereto at a contact surface thereof substantially parallel to the intermediate layer positioned between the first contact surface and the substrate. A plurality of word line structures located across from a corresponding one of the bit structures on an opposite side of the intermediate layer of a corresponding one of said bit structures from its interconnection structure provides electrical contact thereto. Sufficient electrical current selectively drawn through each of these bit structures and its interconnection structure can cause substantial heating of that bit structure to raise temperatures thereof to have at least one of the magnetic material films therein at least approach its corresponding associated critical temperature while being substantially above temperatures of at least an adjacent said bit structure because of sufficient thermal isolation.

    摘要: A digital data memory having a bit structure (17) in a memory cell based on a dielectric intermediate separating material (14) with two major surfaces having thereon an anisotropic ferromagnetic thin-film (12, 13; 12', 13') of differing thicknesses. These bit structures (17) are fabricated within structural extent limits to operate satisfactorily, and are fabricated as series, parallel selectively connected members (11',17,20; 74,70,17,90,78; 103,104,17,100,102) of storage line structures. A corresponding conductive word line structure (22) adjacent corresponding ones of these memory cells is used for selecting or operating them, or both, in data storage and retrieval operations.

    an electrically insulative intermediate layer, said intermediate layer having two major surfaces on opposite sides thereof; and
    a memory film of an anisotropic ferromagnetic material on each of said intermediate layer major surfaces having switching thresholds for magnetizations of said film adjacent each of said intermediate layer major surfaces that differ in value for a switching of these magnetizations from both being directed initially at least in part in substantially a common direction to being directed at least in part in substantially opposite directions versus a switching from being directed initially at least in part in substantially opposite directions to both being directed at least in part in substantially a common direction; and
    a plurality of word line structures each having a pair of word line end terminal regions adapted to conduct electrical current in at least one direction therethrough, each of said pairs of word line end terminal regions having an electrical conductor electrically connected therebetween which is located across an electrical insulating layer from said memory film on one of said major surfaces of said intermediate layer of a corresponding one of said bit structures.
