  • Probe having at least one magnetic resistive element for measuring leakage magnetic field
    Patent number: 6717402
    Abstract: A probe for measuring a leakage magnetic field includes a substrate, a flexible cantilever having one end fixed to the substrate and a free end, and at least one magneto resistive element arranged on the free end of the cantilever. The magneto resistive element has a width within a range from 10 nm to 1 &mgr;m as measured in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the cantilever and in a direction in which the cantilever can be deflected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2001
    Date of Patent: April 6, 2004
    Assignee: Hokkaido University
    Inventors: Koichi Mukasa, Kazuhisa Sueoka, Michiya Kimura, Makoto Sawamura, Hirotaka Hosoi

    Abstract: A probe for measuring a leakage magnetic field includes a substrate, a flexible cantilever having one end fixed to the substrate and a free end, and at least one magneto resistive element arranged on the free end of the cantilever. The magneto resistive element has a width within a range from 10 nm to 1 &mgr;m as measured in a direction vertical to a longitudinal direction of the cantilever and also to a direction in which the cantilever can be deflected.

  • Tray for identifying microorganisms for use in a digital moving map display
    Patent number: 4378438
    Abstract: A tray for identifying isolated microorganisms consisting of a plastic or glass tray body and a transparent cover, the body surface of which has two kinds of hollows for bacterial suspensions. One is formed horizontally across the surface of the tray and the other is composed of number of small wells long and slender, put parallel and rectangular to previous hollow. Each of the small cells communicates over crest barrier to hollow put horizontally. With this tray, microorganisms can be exactly and easily identified.

  • Tray for identifying microorganisms
    Patent number: 4370419
    Abstract: A tray for identifying isolated microorganisms, comprising a plastic or glass tray body and a cover, the body surface of which has two kinds of hollow cells for bacterial suspension. One is formed horizontally across the surface of the tray and the other is composed of a number of long and slender, parallel small cells. Each of the small cells communicates over a crest barrier with another hollow cell. Each crest barrier is formed so that its top is lower in height than the upper surface of the partition wall of the tray body. With this tray, microorganisms can be exactly and easily identified by improving the accuracy of uniformly pouring bacterial suspension into respective cells for bacterial suspension.
