  • Patent number: 8280468
    Abstract: A superconducting magnet device for a single crystal pulling apparatus is arranged outside a pulling furnace containing a crucible for melting a single crystal material therein so as to apply a magnetic field to the melted single crystal material. The superconducting magnet device for a single crystal pulling apparatus includes a cryostat containing a superconducting coil therein, and a refrigerator port arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the cryostat and provided with a cryogenic refrigerator that cools the superconducting coil. The cryogenic refrigerator is provided in a region of the outer surface region of the cryostat at which the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the superconducting coil is weak.

  • Patent number: 5086553
    Abstract: A flying-type composite magnetic head includes (a) a magnetic core constituted by a pair of core pieces bonded together by a first glass portion, at least one of opposing surfaces of the core pieces being formed with a thin magnetic metal layer; (b) a non-magnetic slider having a slit for receiving the magnetic core; and (c) a second glass portion for fixing the magnetic core in the slit; the first glass portion having a softening point lower than a first bonding temperature by 70.degree. C. or more and a yielding temperature higher than a second bonding temperature, and the second glass portion having a softening point lower than a second bonding temperature by 70.degree. C. or more. The first bonding temperature T.sub.1 (.degree.C.) for forming the first glass portion satisfies the following relation:T.sub.1 .ltoreq.aW+b,wherein W is a thickness (.mu.m) of the thin magnetic metal layer, a is between -25 and -15 and b is between 720 and 770, and a second bonding temperature T.sub.
