  • Patent number: 9346550
    Abstract: A method for deicing an aerostructure includes driving a sensing current through a heater element coated to an aerostructure, the heater element having a resistance that is temperature dependent. A resistance of the heater element is monitored. It is determined whether there is icing at the heater element using the monitored resistance of the heater element. A melting current is driven through the heater element when it is determined that there is icing at the heater element.

  • Patent number: 6610602
    Abstract: A giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensor is formed using a self organizing diblock copolymer as an etching mask. The diblock copolymer is deposited over a magnetic layer and is self organized into regions of two discrete thicknesses; higher thickness island regions separated by lower thickness valley regions. After the diblock layer is self organized, an etching of process is performed to remove the polymer material from the valley regions as well as the underlying magnetic material. After etching, a patterned magnetic thin film of submicron islands of magnetic material, preferably having a diameter in the single domain range, remain under the mesa region. The islands are interconnected by a non-magnetic, conductive layer with electrical contacts coupled thereto to complete the GMR sensor. When the sensor is not subjected to a magnetic field, the magnetic alignment of the islands is random, and electron scattering results in a high resistance state.

  • Patent number: 6579728
    Abstract: A portable card reader designed to be carried in a wallet or purse has an electromagnetic head that reads information from a magnetic strip of a card or information is read from the card by an array of Hall sensors. In a further embodiment, the card reader uses a magnetic sensor based on magnetoresistive sensing of magnetic transitions of a magnetic stripe, suitable for use with small, portable electronic devices. In each embodiment, the information read from the card may be converted to a sequence of electronic bursts of predetermined frequency, preferably in the audible or ultrasound range. The sound signals are output by a speaker to the microphone of a telephone. The signal is then transmitted over the telephone lines to a remote receiver. The receiver then converts the sound bursts into signal pulses, which can be read using the computer software of a conventional card reader.

    Abstract: A magnetoresistive material with two metallic magnetic phases. The material exhibits the giant magnetoresistance effect (GMR). A first phase of the material includes a matrix of an electrically conductive ferromagnetic transition metal or an alloy thereof. A second precipitate phase exhibits ferromagnetic behavior when precipitated into the matrix and is antiferromagnetically exchange coupled to the first phase. The second precipitate phase can be electrically conductive rare earth pnictide or can be a Heusler alloy. A method of manufacturing magnetoresistive materials according to the present invention employs facing targets magnetron sputtering.
