A magnetoresistive head includes a magnetoresistive effect element including a magnetoresistive film, which has a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer separated by a nonmagnetic layer. A magnetization direction of the first ferromagnetic layer is perpendicular to a magnetization direction of the second ferromagnetic layer when a signal magnetic field is zero. A pair of bias layers provide magnetic bias, and a top surface of each of the pair of bias layers faces a lower surface of each edge region of the magnetoresistive film. A pair of lead electrodes produce a current flow through the magnetoresistive film, and each of the pair of lead electrodes is disposed on or above the magnetoresistive film.

摘要:
A sorting and stacking apparatus has a currency note feeding section for feeding currency notes one at a time; and a currency note inspecting section for inspecting the denomination of a currency note, a normal note, a damaged note, an obverse-presented note and a reverse-presented note. The currency notes of a predetermined denomination among the currency notes fed by the currency note feeding section are fed to a first stacking section having first and second pockets while currency notes of other denominations are fed to the second stacking section. When the first pocket of the first stacking section is filled with the currency notes, the transport path of the currency note is automatically switched toward the second pocket. Subsequent currency notes are thus stacked in the second pocket of the first stacking section.
