A transducing head has a main pole and at least one magnetic element (such as a return pole or a shield) which provides a potential return path for a magnetic field produced by the main pole. The magnetic element is spaced from the main pole. The magnetic element is formed at least in part of a magnetic material having a material property that reduces side writing at the magnetic element.

A process for making enantiomerically enriched 4-piperidinylglycine having the formula (I), said process comprising (a) combining N-protected glycine ester with 4-piperidone to form didehydroamino acid ester; (b) reducing the didehydroamino acid ester with hydrogen gas in the presence of a rhodium catalyst selected from the group consisting of (R,R)-BPE-Rh; (S,S)-BPE-Rh; (R,R)-DuPHOS-Rh; (S,S)-DuPHOS-Rh; and combinations thereof; whereby a protected compound is formed; and (c) removing the protecting groups from the protected compound, whereby the 4-piperidinylglyeine having the formula (I) is formed, wherein X− is an anion wherein X is independently a halogen; and “*” designates an asymmetric carbon having (R)- or (S)-configuration. The process of the invention yields an enantiomerically enriched (R)-4-piperidineglycine or (S)-4-piperidineglycine.

An analog multiplexer is configured to multiplex a plurality of input analog signal channels into a single output analog signal channel. The analog multiplexer comprises a plurality of input sampling circuits associated with respective ones of the input analog signal channels and an amplifier having an input controllably connectable in turn to each of the input sampling circuits. The analog multiplexer is further configured to connect at least a given one of the input analog signal channels to a sampling element of its corresponding input sampling circuit at a predetermined time prior to connecting the sampling element of that input sampling circuit to the input of the amplifier. The predetermined time is less than a full clock cycle of a sampling clock of the amplifier. The analog multiplexer may be implemented in readout circuitry coupled to a pixel array in an image sensor.

摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide a multi-terminal resistance device with first and second electrodes, a shared third electrode, and a resistance layer providing first and second current paths between the shared third electrode and the first and second electrodes, respectively. A current state of the device may be programmed by applying one or more electrical signals along the first and/or second current paths to change a resistance of the device. In some embodiments, applying an electrical signal may switch a junction resistance of the first and/or second electrodes and the resistance layer between two or more resistance values. The device may include a shared fourth electrode to provide extra programming capability. In some embodiments, the device may be used to store a data state, to determine a count of multiple electrical signals, or to perform a logic operation between two electrical signals.
