    摘要: The device comprises a Wheatstone bridge with at least four magnetoresistive elements (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) on a substrate (15), each magnetoresistive element comprising at least one sensitive portion (13) comprising successively a first ferromagnetic layer (19) having a magnetic easy axis (27) extending in a first direction, a non-magnetic layer (21) and a second ferromagnetic layer (23) having a magnetic easy axis (29) extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction. The sensitive portions (13) have mutually parallel sensitive directions that are parallel to a third direction (X). Each magnetoresistive element (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d) is associated with a current conductor (35a, 35b, 35c, 35d) provided in the immediate vicinity of that magnetoresistive element. The first direction (27) is canted through an acute angle with respect to the third direction (X), and the second direction (29) is canted in the opposite sense through an acute angle with respect to the third direction. Each one of the current conductors (35a, 35b, 35c, 35d) extends over at least a portion of its length in a fourth direction (Y) perpendicular to the third direction (X).

    摘要: A record head (3) for the thermally assisted magnetic recording on a storage medium (5). The head has an inductive section, which includes a magnetic circuit having a record flux guide (7) ending in a record pole (7a), and an optical section, which includes an optical guide ending in an optical outlet (11a). The optical guide is arranged beside the magnetic circuit and is an optical layer (11) transparent to a selected wavelength. The optical layer is interposed between two cladding layers, of which one is formed by the record flux guide (17) of the magnetic circuit and the other (19) is formed by a layer having an index of refraction smaller than the index of refraction of the optical layer. The record head makes it possible to minimize the time that elapse between the moment of maximal energy absorption in the medium and the moment of recording on the medium in a thermally assisted recording process.

    摘要: An information carrier (10) has an information plane that has a pattern of superparamagnetic material constituting an array of storage locations (11). The presence of a specific superparamagnetic material (12R, 12G, 12B, 12Y) at the information plane represents a value of a storage location. The superparamagnetic materials have a specific response to a varying magnetic field, e.g. a known decay time. A storage unit has an interface surface (32) for cooperating with the information plane, and has coils (27) for generating the varying magnetic field. The interface surface has an array of magnetic sensor elements (24,25,26) each having a sensitive area for generating a read signal. A processing unit (33) detects said presence via the specific response by processing the read signal.
