Abstract: A field effect electron emitting apparatus using nano-wire electron emitters is disclosed where each nano-wire electron emitter may be grown in a pore of an insulating layer and/or may have at least a portion exposed from the pore. A method of manufacturing a field effect electron emitting apparatus is also disclosed. The field effect electron emitting apparatus may be used in a display.

Abstract: Highly coercive (out-of-plane) hard magnetic films of cobalt-platinum-phosphorus (CoPtP) composition doped with tungsten (W) were fabricated by direct current (DC) galvanostatic electrodeposition. With the addition of 0.003 mol/L of W in the electrolyte solution for CoPtP, coercivity (Hc) of about 3664-3784 Oe, absolute remanent magnetization (Mr) of 7.8-8.4 memu, and squareness (S) of about 0.53-0.55 were achieved for electroplated CoPtWP single-layered film. Upon annealing in ambient atmosphere at 320° C. for 2 hrs, an improvement in magnetic property was observed with Hc of about 4211-4619 Oe, an absolute Mr of about 7.0-8.4 memu, and a S of about 0.68-0.85. Annealing in air caused oxidation of the CoPtWP leading to a slight decrease in absolute Ms and Mr but a marked improvement in Hc and S due to the presence of non-magnetic metallic oxides formed at the grain boundaries. To achieve higher absolute magnetization, CoPtWP/Au multilayered structures were fabricated by a stepwise plating process.

Abstract: A magnetic material, and a MEMS device using the magnetic material A magnetic material comprises 50-80 wt % of Cobalt, 9-15 wt % of Nickel, 10-25 wt % of Rhenium, 0.1 to 2.0 wt % of Phosphorus, and 5-10 wt % of Tungsten or Platinum. It can be formed as a layer having good vertical magnetic properties (e.g. when magnetised it can provide a high magnetic field strength in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the layer). The layer preferably has a thickness of above 1 ?m. It can be formed by electroplating. The layer is useful for inclusion in a MEMS device.

Abstract: A composition of a magnetic material and uses thereof A material comprising cobalt (Co), platinum (Pt) and phosphorus (P) having a composition of 94-98 wt % Co, 0-1 wt % Pt and 2-4 wt % P. The material may be subjected to annealing at a temperature between 100 and 500 degrees Celsius. The material is formed by electroplating a substrate in a suitable electrochemical bath. The electroplated CoPtP material forms a layer on the substrate. The CoPtP material has enhanced perpendicular magnetic properties and may be advantageous for use in microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices.

Abstract: An imaging media tray for an imaging system such as a printer is provided that includes a media cassette having a sloping end wall, and a blocking means. The blocking means has a blocking mode adapted to prevent imaging media from moving up the sloping end wall when the media cassette is being inserted into the imaging system and an inactive mode to facilitate transmission of the media to the imaging system. The blocking means adopts the inactive mode after the media cassette is inserted into the imaging system. A method for preventing imaging media from moving up the sloping end wall when the media cassette is being inserted into the imaging system is also disclosed.
