Publication number: 20240125872Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetoresistive (xMR) sensor that has enhanced immunity to the presence of a magnetic cross field by using a combination of differential biasing on the sensing layers of the sensing elements, sensing elements having different sensitivities, and different reference magnetization directions. The xMR sensor comprises two or more arrays of sensing elements, wherein each array comprises a plurality of sensing elements. The sensing elements within each array may be arranged in pairs, wherein the sensor elements within each pair have sensing layers that are magnetically biased in antiparallel directions. The sensing elements within each array are also provided with different respective sensitivities. The sensing elements having the lowest sensitivity are provided with a reference layer magnetised in a first direction, and the sensing elements in the remaining arrays are provided with a reference layer magnetised in a direction that is antiparallel to the first direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Fernando Franco, Jan Kubik, Jochen Schmitt, Stephen O'Brien

Patent number: 11953567Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetic multi-turn sensor comprising a continuous coil of magnetoresistive elements and a method of manufacturing said sensor. The continuous coil is formed on a substrate such as a silicon wafer that has been fabricated so as to form a trench and bridge arrangement that enables the inner and outer spiral to be connected without interfering with the magnetoresistive elements of the spiral winding in between. Once the substrate has been fabricated with the trench and bridge arrangement, a film of the magnetoresistive material can be deposited to form a continuous coil on the surface of the substrate, wherein a portion of the coil is formed in the trench and a portion of the coil is formed on the bridge.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Peter Meehan, Stephen O'Brien, Jochen Schmitt, Michael W.

Publication number: 20240087026Abstract: A derived order gives a participant simultaneous access to liquidity across multiple books, destinations, or marketplaces. The derived order can be placed and anchored in one trading venue and simultaneously replicated in another trading venue. A participant can place the derived order in the lit book as an anchor book and replicate the order in the hybrid book and/or the dark book, or alternatively, the participant can place the derived order in the hybrid book as an anchor book and replicate the order in the dark book. A trading engine can be configured to replicate an order in different books and guarantee that each order is only executed once. When an order is replicated, the trading engine can check the stored record to see where the order was placed, and then adjust or cancel an order in one book when it is being fulfilled in a different book.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: AEQUITAS INNOVATIONS INC.Inventors: Joseph Schmitt, Stephen Bain
