摘要:
An uneven-surface data detection apparatus, includes a transparent plate having an uneven-surface contact portion against which an uneven surface to be detected is pressed. A light source illuminates the uneven-surface contact portion through the transparent plate. An uneven-surface image drawing out optical element draws out the light reflected on the uneven-surface contact portion of the transparent plate. A detector detects the light drawn out from the transparent plate by the optical element.Light reflected by a projection-facing portion of the uneven surface contact portion to be introduced into the detector diverges from a propagation direction of light reflected by a recess-facing portion of the uneven surface contact portion. The optical element is arranged to guide the light reflected by the projection-facing portion into the detector.

An uneven surface data detection apparatus for detecting an uneven surface, such as a human finger, having projected portions and recessed portions. A transparent base having upper and lower surfaces and an upper surface defining an uneven surface contact portion is provided, and a light is incident on the uneven surface so that the light derived from the recess portions enters to the transparent base and comes out thereof. However, a part of the light derived from the projected portions is totally reflected at least one time by the lower opposite surface and focussing lens is integrally formed on the transparent base so that the totally reflected light is drawn out of transparent base and enters to an image sensor.

Alternatively, the magnetoresistive sensor may include the following layers, in order: a first conductor layer; a first free ferromagnetic layer; a first nonmagnetic intermediate layer; a first pinned ferromagnetic layer; an antiferromagnetic layer; a second pinned ferromagnetic layer; a second nonmagnetic intermediate layer; a second free ferromagnetic layer; and a second conductor layer.
摘要:
The upper portion of a magnetoresistive film is interposed between insulators in the lateral direction of a recording track in a current-perpendicular-to-the-plane structure magnetoresistive element. Domain control magnetic layers sandwich the upper portion of the magnetoresistive film along with the insulators in the lateral direction. The insulators serve to establish a narrower path for electric current between the lower portion of the magnetoresistive film and an upper electrode layer. The substantial width in the lateral direction can thus be reduced in the magnetoresistive film. In addition, a longitudinal biasing magnetic field established between the domain control magnetic layers efficiently acts on the magnetoresistive film. In particular, if a free magnetic layer is included in the upper portion of the magnetoresistive film, the free magnetic layer can be subjected to a larger longitudinal biasing magnetic field. A single domain property can be realized in the free ferromagnetic layer enough. The Barkhausen noise can be reduced.

An apparatus for deflecting light of the present invention comprises: (a) at least one pair of transference electrodes arranged facing one another; (b) a drive circuit which applies a voltage among the transference electrodes; and (c) a liquid crystal which is inserted among the transference electrodes, and whose parallel stripes that function as a diffraction grating when the voltage is applied among the transference electrodes are produced at a pitch corresponding to the applied voltage. The light can be scanned if a diffracted light by the apparatus for deflecting light is converted into a scanning light and a voltage value is changed temporally to apply the voltage among the transference electrodes. In a device for reading information, the scanning light is reflected in a bar code and the reflected light is detected by an apparatus for detecting light. In a device for stereoscopic display of the present invention, the apparatus for deflecting light is used as beam deflection means for deflecting the light beamed from a picture element which organizes the pictures of the picture display means.

摘要:
A magnetoresistive film is formed on the surface of a lower electrode layer in a method of making a current-perpendicular-to-the-plane structure magnetoresistive element. The magnetoresistive film includes a lower portion and an upper portion overlaid on the lower portion. The lower portion includes at least a pinned magnetic layer. The upper portion includes at least a free magnetic layer. A pair of domain control magnetic layers is formed to sandwich the magnetoresistive film. An insulator film is formed to cover over the domain control magnetic layers. The upper portion is subjected to an etching process. The domain control magnetic layers are reliably prevented from being removed during the etching process. Accordingly, the domain control magnetic layers are allowed to reliably sandwich the upper portion of the magnetoresistive film in the aforementioned manner.
摘要:
The lower electrode is at least exposed at the surface of a substructure layer in a current-perpendicular-to-the-plane structure magnetoresistive element. A resist is formed to extend over the surface of the substructure layer. A patterning void is defined in the resist. The shape of the patterning void is designed to correspond to the contour of the magnetoresistive multilayered film. The magnetoresistive multilayered film is formed by deposition within the patterning void. This method enables avoidance of a dry etching process effected on the magnetoresistive multilayered film. Scrapings or waste of the magnetoresistive multilayered film are not generated at all. The side surfaces of the magnetoresistive multilayered film are completely prevented from attachment or adhesion of scrapings or waste. The side surfaces of the magnetoresistive multilayered film are kept stainless.
