Publication number: 20230299451Abstract: A device that produces spin waves includes a base substrate, a transducer that includes a first plane defined by a first magnetic film and a second plane defined by a plurality of metal strips, and a second magnetic film having a spin-wave phase velocity lower than the first magnetic film. The second magnetic film is adjacent to the first magnetic film, and the first plane and the second plane are parallel. The plurality of metal strips are configured to receive a first signal, such that the first signal excites a first spin wave in the first magnetic film. The second magnetic film is configured to produce a second spin wave having a wavelength shorter than the first spin wave.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Hadrian Aquino, Alexei Orlov, Gary H.

Patent number: 9577173Abstract: Nanoscale thermocouples are made of a single material and are shape-engineered to contain one or more variations in their width along their length. The mono-metallic nanowire junctions resulting from the width variation(s) exploit a difference in the Seebeck coefficient that is present at these size scales. Such devices have a wide variety of uses and can be coupled with an antenna in order to serve as an infrared detector.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: University of Notre Dame du LacInventors: Wolfgang Porod, Gary H.

Patent number: 8058906Abstract: A non-majority magnetic logic gate device for use in constructing compact and power efficient logical magnetic arrays is presented. The non-majority magnetic logic gate device includes a substrate, symmetrically aligned magnetic islands (SAMIs), at least one misaligned magnetic island (MAMI), magnetic field inputs (MFIs), and at least one magnetic field output (MFO). The SAMIs and MAMI are electrically isolated from each other but are magnetically coupled to one another through their respective magnetic fringe fields. The MAMI is geometrically and/or angularly configured to exhibit a magnetization ground state bias which is dependent upon which direction the applied magnetic clock field is swept. Non-majority logic gates can be made from layouts containing the SAMIs and the MAMI which contain a smaller number of components as comparable majority logic gate layouts.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2010Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: The University of Notre Dame Du LacInventors: Michael T. Niemier, Mohammad T. Alam, Gary H. Bernstein, Xiaobo Sharon Hu, Wolfgang Porod, Edit Varga

Patent number: 6364889Abstract: It has been discovered that the use of a substantially free-standing voice coil within a lancing device in coordination and combination with a stationary magnet and electronic circuit renders a much improved lancing device. The minimal weight of the free standing voice coil and the attractive forces of the magnet allow the battery-powered electronic circuit to maintain excellent control over the advancement and retraction of a lancet. When the electronic lancing device is initiated by a user, the voltage source within the electronic lancing device provides sufficient current through the voice coil such that the coil and lancet are repulsed from the magnet and propelled into the puncture site.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1999Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Bayer CorporationInventors: Mohammad A. Kheiri, Joseph E. Ruggiero, Gary H. Bernstein
