    摘要: In the simplest embodiment of the invention, the apparatus holds the edge of the magnetized film to be measured close to, and above, a linearly biased magnetoresistive (MR) element. Magnetic poles appearing at the magnetic discontinuity at the edge of the film generate a magnetic field which is incident on the MR element, and which results in a measurable change in the element's resistivity. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of MR elements are placed so that they are both linearly biased by a magnet; only one of the MR elements being in close proximity to, and influenced by the magnetic field emanating from the edge of the magnetized film. The second MR element, selected for matched characteristics with the first MR element, is located out of the field of the magnetized film, but still subject to the same temperature environment and field noise as the first MR element. The two MR elements are configured with associated resistors as arms of a Wheatstone bridge so that the common mode fields and thermal drift signals experienced by both MR elements are canceled to the first order, and the output of the bridge is proportional to the change in resistance in the first MR element due only to the field of the magnetized film.

    摘要: A thin film magnetic record/playback head having suitably thin layers of soft, high permeability magnetic material, such as permalloy, electrically insulated from each other by very thin layers of a magnetic material having suitably high resistivity, such as NiZn ferrite. The improved magnetic record/playback head is capable of reading and writing much higher bit densities (up to about 100 kfci) and at much higher frequencies (100 MHz or higher) than prior art devices while remaining fully compatible with existing electronic circuitry.

    摘要: A magnetometer includes a magnetoresistive element and first and second high-permeable laminated flux collectors of height H partially overlapping, respectively, opposing lateral edges of the magnetoresistive element, wherein the flux collectors are separated laterally by a gap of length G which the magnetoresistive element spans. The two laminated flux collector and the magnetoresistive element cooperatively form an open-loop flux-conducting path of total height 2H+G, that is capable of collecting flux of a magnetic field being measured and, in response to the flux collected, developing a magnetometive force across the gap G that is functionally related to the height of the flux collectors.

    摘要: A magnetically permeable "cap" is deposited across the top face (the bottom face being the face at the head-medium interface), or on the end faces, or on both the top and the end faces of a DMR reproduce head. The top cap serves as a magnetic keeper which provides flux closure between the two MR elements of the DMR when they are transversely magnetized anti-parallel to each other. By means of a magnetic cap of only moderate effective permeability, the current density required to optimally bias a DMR head is reduced by a factor of from 3 to 4. The presence of the top cap layer also provides an increase in the intrinsic sensitivity (independent of the bias level) of the DMR by a factor of 2. Further, when the head is fully biased to also include longitudinal biasing of the MR elements, the caps at the longitudinal ends of the MR stripes magnetically stabilize the fully antisymmetric bias configuration providing optimal performance for a DMR head. The end caps also provide for establishing the necessary electrical conductive path between the two MR elements of the DMR. In an additional embodiment, an electrically insulating layer between the magnetically permeable layer and the MR elements breaks any exchange coupling between the magnetically permeable layer and the MR elements.

    摘要: A pulse hub motor having coils (101) and magnets (107) interacting three dimensionally in x, y, and z axes to facilitate both increased power and efficiency through the ability to have more coils (101) in the motor, have each coil (101) perform both push and pull functions, and yet have the flexibility to only use the amount of coils (101) needed for real-time power requirements, whilst regenerating power in both normal drive and braking modes.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for implementing spin-torque oscillator sensing with an enhanced integrated demodulator for hard disk drives. The demodulator receives an input signal from a STO read sensor having an oscillation frequency ω related to the strength of the detected magnetic signal field. The demodulator includes a pair of mixers coupled to a quadrature reference oscillator with respective quadrature components cos(ω0t), and sin(ω0t) of the quadrature reference oscillator being mixed with a received input signal to form signals at the sum and difference frequencies, ω±ω0. Each of these mixer products is lowpass filtered by a respective a lowpass filter to remove the sum frequency components for providing a demodulator output signal that is directly proportional the STO oscillation frequency ω. The demodulator output signal is used for processing by data detection electronics.
