Abstract:
Elimination of crosstalk in an integrated array of magnetoresistive reading heads by the use of regions of high coercivity material between the active areas of closely spaced magnetoresistive sensors so as to prevent flux coupling between such closely spaced sensors.
Abstract:
An integrated magneto-resistive sensor for detection of magnetic bubble domains. The sensor is located on the chip in which the bubble domains propagate and can be an integral part of the propagation circuitry. Any material exhibiting a magnetoresistive effect can be used, and permalloy is a preferred material. The sensing element can be made very small, and has a length which is usually about equal to a bubble domain diameter.
Abstract:
A magnetoresistive recording head for writing information onto a magnetic tape or similar recording medium and for reading such information, wherein the thin magnetoresistive element is protected from tape wear by employing a magnetically permeable element between the tape and the magnetoresistive element so that recording can take place without proximity between tape and sensor. Additionally, the magnetoresistive element is surrounded by the yoke of the recording head in such a manner that the element is effectively out of the magnetic field of view of the magnetically recorded data until such data is directly under the magnetic element. Consequently, the resolution of the recording head is substantially increased.
