  • Patent number: 9007055
    Abstract: Provided are a self-pinned spin valve magnetoresistance effect film, a magnetic sensor using the same, and a rotation angle detection device. The self-pinned spin valve magnetoresistance effect film has a strong coupling magnetic field in a pinned layer, a small reduction in the change in resistance, and superior resistance to magnetic fields without reducing the coercive force in a first ferromagnetic layer, which is a pinned layer in the film, even when exposed to a strong external magnetic field. By inserting a non-magnetic layer between a ground layer and a pinned layer to form the spin valve magnetoresistance effect film, the self-pinned spin valve magnetoresistance effect film having superior resistance to magnetic fields, a magnetic sensor using the same, and a rotation angle detection device are obtained.

  • Patent number: 7238632
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnetic wave shielding material including a three dimensionally knitted base material and a conductive metal layer formed on the three dimensionally knitted base material, which shielding material is characterized in that it comprises: a heat-fusing thread used at at least a portion of the three dimensionally knitted base material; and a portion in which connection thread is not present, wherein the amount of cutting debris generated at the time of cutting is decreased. According to the present invention, an electromagnetic wave shielding material, which is used for an electromagnetic wave shielding gasket for shielding electromagnetic wave, exhibits good workability if the thickness of the product is relatively thin, suppresses the metal separation and reduces the amount of cutting debris generated at the time of cutting, is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6758068
    Abstract: A three-dimensionally structured warp knitted fabric has a higher compressibility and resiliency than its conventionally available counterpart, as well as enhanced abrasion resistance to prevent fuzzing. The three-dimensionally structured warp knitted fabric includes a top substructure and a bottom substructure, either of which is a net texture, the other being a plain texture. Substructure connecting yarns connect the two substructures. A plurality of connecting yarn controlling yarns are present between the two substructures and between the substructure connecting yarns. The connecting yarn controlling yarns control the substructure connecting yarns by handling, separating and holding them. The connecting yarn controlling yarns include portions which are stitched into the plain texture side of the top or bottom substructure and portions which are floating between the top and bottom substructures.

  • Patent number: 6692847
    Abstract: A magneto resistive sensor having a GMR magnetic laminated film is disclosed. The GMR magnetic laminated film comprises a plurality of magnetic thin layers having a NiCoFeB composition alternately laminated with a nonmagnetic thin layer, such as copper layer. Since the magnetic thin layer contains B in its composition, the GMR magnetic laminated film can stand in magneto resistance ratio (&Dgr;R/R %) under a high temperature of up to 250 degrees centigrade. By the reason, electric wiring can be connected by a lead-free solder to assemble a magnetic resistive sensor for a magnetic rotary encoder. The thermal resistance variation and the magneto resistance ratio are further improved when a NiFeCr underlayer is used under the GMR magnetic laminated film.
