  • Patent number: 10473732
    Abstract: A magnetometer provides a newly designed signal processing circuit that can reduce noise and increase the magnetic sensitivity by means of reducing the noise of GND electrode potential occurred at the timing when the pulse current passes through the magnetic wire. It is characterized by preparing a differential element with a neutral coil electrode, a differential sample holding circuit and a differential amplifier circuit.

  • Patent number: 10398341
    Abstract: The gradiometers of the present invention are developed by applying GSR sensors to have the detectability of magnetic field same to that of SQUID without a cryogenic temperature retainer. Plural GSR elements are fitted on two parallel convex line guides of the gradiometer board using two parallel concave line guides of the GSR element board to keep the parallel among wires direction of GSR elements perfectly and to cancel the outside magnetic field noise without a magnetic shield room.

  • Patent number: 9857436
    Abstract: The magnetometers possess detector part with a magnetic wire sensitive to magnetic field consisting of a domain structure of the surface domain with circular spin alignment and core domain with longitudinal spin alignment and micro coil surrounding its magnetic wire to pick up the change of longitudinal magnetizing caused by spin rotation in surface domain with circular spin alignment called as GSR effect excited by pulse with frequency of 0.5 GHz to 4 GHz. Peak coil voltage is detected by a circuit characterized with pulse generator, GSR element, Buffer circuit, sample holding circuit, amplifier circuit and means to invert it to external magnetic field. The induced coil voltage caused by parasitic coil capacitance and wiring loop is vanished by combination coil of right and left turn coil. The magnetometers can provide lower noise, wide measuring range with a small size detector part and is applied to smartphones, wearable computer and so on.

  • Publication number: 20170101697
    Abstract: A tension annealing treatment consisting of a furnace and the operation method can improve magnetic properties of magnetic wire with a diameter of under 20 ?m and achieve continuous operation without wire breakage by controlling the temperature and tensile stress in the furnace with designated values accurately by means of a wire diameter measuring device, tension measuring device, plural capstans and tension rollers between plural capstans installed in the furnace. The interval between a wire supply bobbin and a wire winding up bobbin is divided into serval parts which are controlled to have same conveyance speed and tensile stress to dissolve the deference of each other by controlling the rotary speed of capstans and the tension loaded by tension rollers.

  • Publication number: 20160329150
    Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic wire alignment machine and its method to produce magnetic wire alignment on the substrate at the fine interval without twist stress. The magnetic wires can be allied along the groove on the substrate with the accuracy of ±1 ?m by the very small interval by means of a precision feeding device which can adjust the parallel displacement between the wire as a basic line and the grove observed by a microscope. The magnetic wires cut under uniform tension are temporally fixed on the grooves on the substrate by the magnetic force and cured by the resin without twist stress.

  • Publication number: 20160116551
    Abstract: A technique is provided which reduces the coil pitch and increases the number of coil turns in an MI element and allows for high sensitivity and miniaturization. The MI element is configured such that a magnetic wire and a coil wound around the magnetic wire are disposed on an electrode wiring substrate. When manufacturing the coil, a three-layer structure of the coil and thin film coil strips formed by a vapor deposition process are focused on thereby to allow the coil pitch to be 14 micrometers or less. The three-layer structure comprises coil lower portions of a recessed shape, coil upper portions of a protruding shape, and through-hole portions that connect the coil lower portions with the coil upper portions.
