  • Patent number: 9052354
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor includes: a magnetic thin film; a feeder comprising an input and output terminals configured to supply element current to the magnetic thin film; and a detector configured to detect a voltage between ends of the magnetic thin film in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the element current. The magnetic thin film is Rained symmetric about the direction of the element current.

  • Publication number: 20150153401
    Abstract: There is a limit on the miniaturization of electric leakage detecting apparatuses including a ring-shaped magnetic material. Any thicker electric wires increase the size of the ring-shaped magnetic material. Additionally, it is difficult to place the ring-shaped magnetic material around the electric wires that have already been placed. In light of the foregoing, an electric leakage apparatus is provided. The electric leakage detecting apparatus is to be installed on a pair of power source lines connecting a power source and a load, and includes: a pair of holders configured to hold the power source lines, respectively; a fixing means configured to fix the holders at a predetermined interval; a pair of magnetic elements each placed on each of the holders while being parallel to the power source lines; a detecting means configured to detect a difference between magneto-resistance effects of the magnetic elements; and a driving means configured to feed a drive current to the magnetic elements.

  • Publication number: 20150115951
    Abstract: A power measurement apparatus configured to measure power consumed at a load, the apparatus includes a magnetic film module, an adjuster, a measurement resistance, and a voltage detector. The magnetic film module is arranged so that a longitudinal direction of the magnetic film module is parallel to current flowing in the load. The adjuster is configured to adjust a pass-frequency and a phase of a voltage at one terminal of the magnetic film module. The measurement resistance is serial-connected to the magnetic film module. The voltage detector is configured to detect a voltage between both terminals of the magnetic film module.

  • Publication number: 20150028878
    Abstract: The present invention provides a charge/discharge measuring apparatus capable of appropriate charge/discharge management by accurately measuring a capacitance change of a secondary battery in charge/discharge. This charge/discharge measuring apparatus is configured such that a current from the secondary battery can be switched between a first connection circuit in which the secondary battery, a load resistor, and a conductor film are connected in series and a second connection circuit in which the secondary battery, a charger, and the conductor film are connected in series. Moreover, this charge/discharge measuring apparatus has a magnetic film arranged in parallel with the conductor film and connected in parallel with connection from the secondary battery to the load resistor and the charger and has a voltage detecting means for detecting a voltage change in the magnetic film.

  • Publication number: 20140049253
    Abstract: The present invention provides various thin-film sensor type power measuring apparatuses which can be constructed in a simplified and compact structure so as to measure the power of high-frequency circuits or batteries. This power measuring apparatus includes: a magnetic film disposed in parallel to a primary conductor through which a load current flows; a power supply with input and output terminals for supplying an element current to the magnetic film; a bias magnetic field applying unit for applying a DC magnetic field in a direction that is parallel, perpendicular, or diagonal to the direction of magnetization of the magnetic film; and a detection unit for detecting the voltage between the ends of the magnetic film in the direction of the element current. The power measuring apparatus detects only the DC voltage component between the ends of the magnetic film in the direction of the element current.

  • Patent number: 6566582
    Abstract: Non-human animals deficient in a function of a uridine phosphorylase gene on a chromosome, and their offspring. These non-human animals and their offspring make it possible to elucidate pathologic functions and activities of nucleic acid dysbolism and the like and also to predict utility of pyridine nucleoside antimetabolites in human, and are useful as experimental animals.
