  • Patent number: 11557719
    Abstract: There is provided a magnetoresistance effect element includes: a channel layer that extends in a first direction; a recording layer which includes a film formed from a ferromagnetic material, of which a magnetization state is changed to one of two or greater magnetization states, and which is formed on the channel layer; a non-magnetic layer that is provided on a surface of the recording layer; a reference layer which is provided on a surface of the non-magnetic layer, which includes a film formed from a ferromagnetic material, and of which a magnetization direction is fixed; a terminal pair that includes a first terminal and a second terminal which are electrically connected to the channel layer with an interval in the first direction, and to which a current pulse for bringing the recording layer to any one magnetization state with a plurality of pulses is input by flowing a current to the channel layer between the first terminal and the second terminal; and a third terminal that is electrically connected to

  • Publication number: 20220350572
    Abstract: A random number generation unit and a computing system using the same, the unit including a magnetic tunnel junction element and being capable of developing the characteristics required for the execution of probabilistic computing and operating at a higher speed. A magnetic tunnel junction element includes a fixed layer having a ferromagnet and having a magnetization direction fixed substantially, a free layer having a ferromagnet and having a magnetization direction varying with a first time constant, and a barrier layer disposed between the layers configured with an insulator. The magnetic tunnel junction element has a shift magnetic field of an absolute value of 20 millitesla or smaller. The fixed layer has a plurality of ferromagnetic and non-magnetic coupling layers laminated one upon another, and ferromagnetic layers adjacent to each other among the respective ferromagnetic layers are coupled in terms of magnetization by the non-magnetic coupling layers in an antiparallel manner.

  • Patent number: 10334362
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for analyzing and resolving feedback caused by having multiple audio links in a conference room. An audio system may detect the presence of duplicated audio caused by multiple audio links in the conference room. Marker signals may be injected into the conference room or over the network in response to detecting the duplicated audio. Echoes of the marker signals may be received, and the system may determine which case corresponds to the detected duplicated audio based on the received echo of the marker signals. Based on the determined case, operation of at least one of the speaker and the microphone may be modified. After the modification, audio playback in the conference room may be monitored to verify that far end audio playback is taking place and that the duplicated audio has been resolved.
