Patent number: 4607349Abstract: A highly density magnetic bubble memory device has bubble propagation paths having different pattern periods. The distance between a propagation path having shorter period and a magnetic film for holding magnetic bubbles is made smaller than that between propagation path having longer period and the magnetic film. An insulating layer formed between the propagation path and the magnetic film through another insulating layer has a declining slope having an angle of 60.degree. or less, thereby ensuring steady propagation of the magnetic bubbles along the propagation path.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1983Date of Patent: August 19, 1986Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Ryo Suzuki, Masatoshi Takeshita, Teruaki Takeuchi, Naoki Kodama, Yutaka Sugita

Patent number: 4510231Abstract: A conductor pattern and an ion implanting mask are simultaneously formed by photoetching a conductor film through a single photoresist pattern. An area on which a conductor pattern is to be formed is covered with a photoresist, and ions are implanted to a magnetic film using the conductor film portion not convered with the photoresist, to form a magnetic bubble propagation track. The ion implantation mask and the conductor pattern are formed simultaneously through one mask. Accordingly, reduction of accuracy due to an error in mask alignment is prevented and the manufacturing is facilitated.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1983Date of Patent: April 9, 1985Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masatoshi Takeshita, Naoki Kodama, Ryo Suzuki, Teruaki Takeuchi, Yutaka Sugita

Patent number: 4163204Abstract: The pressure-sensitive resistor comprising an electroconductive elastomer, in which an electroconductive particulate material is dispersed, two electrodes placed on the opposing surfaces of the elastomer, a means for providing a compressive force between the electrodes and a means for adjusting the compressive force, works on a novel principle that the elastomer composite exhibits a positive coefficient in the curve of compression vs. resistance relationship when the compressive force is varied in a region exceeding an inversion point at which the resistance of the elastomer as measured in the direction of compression is minimal. The coefficient in this positive region is smaller than in the ordinary negative region, so that the variable resistance of the resistor can be controlled very delicately together with the decreased contribution of the uncontrollable contact resistance.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1978Date of Patent: July 31, 1979Assignee: Shin-Etsu Polymer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryoichi Sado, Akio Nakamura, Naoki Kodama
