A magnetic memory cell having read conductor that is wholly clad with a high magnetic permeability soft magnetic material for a pinned-on-the-fly soft ferromagnetic reference layer is disclosed. The magnetic memory cell includes a ferromagnetic data layer, an intermediate layer formed on the ferromagnetic data layer, and a soft ferromagnetic reference layer formed on the intermediate layer. The soft ferromagnetic reference layer includes a read conductor and a ferromagnetic cladding that completely surrounds the read conductor to form a cladded read conductor. The soft ferromagnetic reference layer has a non-pinned orientation of magnetization. When an externally supplied read current flows through the read conductor, the read conductor generates a magnetic field that does not saturate the ferromagnetic cladding and is substantially contained within the ferromagnetic cladding and is operative to dynamically pin the orientation of magnetization in a desired direction. Optionally, the soft ferromagnetic reference layer can include a ferromagnetic cap layer positioned between the ferromagnetic cladding and the intermediate layer and magnetically coupled with the ferromagnetic cladding. A bit of data stored in the ferromagnetic data layer is read by measuring a resistance between the ferromagnetic data layer and the soft ferromagnetic reference layer. The ferromagnetic cladding substantially reduces fringe magnetic fields, reduces the number and complexity of the of layers needed to form a prior pinned reference layer, and reduces a magnitude of the read current sufficient to read the bit of data.

A memory device includes dual tunnel junction memory cells having a magnetic tunnel junction in series with a tunnel junction. The magnetic tunnel junction can be changed from a first resistance state to a second resistance state during a write operation. The magnetic tunnel junction can have a differing resistance-voltage characteristic than the tunnel junction, and the differing resistance-voltage characteristics allow the magnetic tunnel junction to be blown without blowing the tunnel junction during a write operation. The change in resistance state of the magnetic tunnel junction changes the resistance of the selected memory cell, which is detectable during a read operation.

Apparatus and associated method for aligning optical components including lenses, filters, lasers, fiber optics, etc. The apparatus aligns a first optic element and a second optic element and includes a frame and a sleeve. The frame defines a frame bore along a longitudinal axis thereof. The sleeve defines an eccentric bore configured to contain the first optic element or the second optic element. The sleeve is rotatably coupled in the frame bore to align the first optic element with the second optic element in a plane intersected by the longitudinal axis.

A magnetic memory cell having read-write conductor that is wholly clad with a high magnetic permeability soft magnetic material for a pinned-on-the-fly soft ferromagnetic reference layer is disclosed. The magnetic memory cell includes a ferromagnetic data layer, an intermediate layer formed on the ferromagnetic data layer, and a soft ferromagnetic reference layer having a non-pinned orientation of magnetization formed on the intermediate layer. The soft ferromagnetic reference layer includes a read-write conductor and a ferromagnetic cladding that completely surrounds the read-write conductor to form a cladded read-write conductor. During a read operation, a read current flowing through the read-write conductor generates a read magnetic field that does not saturate the ferromagnetic cladding. During a write operation, a write current flowing through the read-write conductor generates a write magnetic field that saturates the ferromagnetic cladding and extends to the ferromagnetic data layer.

A small-sized, inexpensive light wavelength measuring apparatus which has no mechanical movable sections but which is capable of high-speed measurement and high measurement precision to improve in reliability. In the light wavelength measuring apparatus, the intensity of incoming light is modulated by a light modulator in response to a reference signal supplied from a signal source and the modulation light is provided with a delay corresponding to the wavelength thereof through a group delay dispersion medium. The light is then converted into an electrical signal by a photoelectric converter, and a phase difference between the electrical signal and reference signal is obtained by a phase comparator, thereby measuring the wavelength of the incoming light.

A method and apparatus of detecting and using motion modes in a mobile device is described. Movement data is collected from an inertial motion unit (IMU) of the mobile device and compared to two or more sets of training data, each set of training data corresponding to a different motion mode. Then, a motion mode is determined to be the current mode of the mobile device on the results of the comparison. The motion mode is used by the mobile device in a variety of applications.

Embodiments described herein provide an electronic device with a connector that includes a HDMI source and a HDMI sink. The electronic device also includes logic to determine whether a device coupled to the connector is a data source or a data sink, and if the device coupled to the connector is a data source, configure the connector to receive data.
摘要:
A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing storage system resources in a storage area network (SAN). A target data storage server registers itself within a storage area network (SAN) fabric to receive a Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) should a SCSI initiator become inactive. A SCSI initiator then requests reservation of a target LUN. In response, the target data server reserves the LUN for use by the SCSI initiator. If a RSCN is received by the target data storage server, then a GID_PN server request, which comprises the unique identifier of SCSI initiator, is generated after a predetermined time interval and a SAN fabric name server. If the name server's response to the GID_PN server request is positive, then the SCSI initiator was detected as being active and the target data storage server keeps the reservation for the LUN active for the SCSI initiator. Otherwise, the reservation for the LUN is released for use by other SCSI initiators.
