摘要:
A scanning device for scanning data-carrying disks. The disks include a magnetisable layer to and from which data is written and read using a magnetic transducer, such as a Giant Magneto-Resistive (GMR) transducer. Positioning of the transducer over a data track is achieved by optical tracking using a land/groove structure, and positioning of the transducer with respect to the optical tracking system by means of a reference beam transmitted through the disk.
摘要:
The semiconductor device has a security coating with embedded magnetic particles and magnetoresistive sensors. This renders possible a measurement of the impedance of security elements defined by magnetoresistive sensors and security coating. If initial values of the impedance are stored, actual values can be compared therewith to see if the device has not been electrically probed or modified. Such a comparison can be used to check the authenticity of the device.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for magnetic detection of binding of biological molecules on a biochip. A magnetoresistive sensor device for measuring an areal density of magnetic nanoparticles on a micro-array, the magnetic nanoparticles (15) being directly or indirectly coupled to the target sample (11), is described. The magnetoresistive sensor device comprises a substrate (3) having attached thereto binding sites (9) able to selectively bind target sample (11), and a magnetoresistive sensor for detecting the magnetic field of the nanoparticles (15) coupled to the target sample. The magnetoresistive sensor comprises a plurality of magnetoresistive sensing elements (17, 19), the width and length dimensions of which are at least a factor 10 or more, preferably a factor 100 or more larger than the diameter of the nanoparticles (15). A corresponding method is described as well.

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:
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.
