  • Patent number: 11209504
    Abstract: A magneto-resistive effect element includes a magnetization free layer, an intermediate layer, and a magnetization pinned layer. The magnetization free layer extends along a first plane. The intermediate layer extends along the first plane, and is stacked on the magnetization free layer. The magnetization pinned layer extends along the first plane, and is provided on side opposite to the magnetization free layer with the intermediate layer being interposed therebetween. Here, the magnetization free layer includes an end surface that has a maximum inclination angle of 42° or less relative to the first plane.

  • Patent number: 8351157
    Abstract: This thin film magnetic head has a magnetic read head and a magnetic write head each having respective end surfaces exposed to an ABS. The magnetic read head includes a magnetic reader including an end surface exposed to the ABS, first heat generator disposed on an opposite side of the magnetic reader from the ABS, and first temperature detector disposed closer to the ABS than the first heat generator is. The magnetic write head includes a magnetic pole having an end surface exposed to the ABS, second heat generator, and second temperature detector disposed closer to the ABS than the second heat generator is. The first heat generator and the first temperature detector adjust the protrusion of the magnetic read head, and the second heat generator and the second temperature detector adjust the protrusion of the magnetic write head.

  • Patent number: 7956372
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting diode chip, a heat conductive plate mounting thereon the light emitting diode chip, a sub-mount member disposed between said light emitting diode chip and said heat conductive plate, a dielectric substrate stacked on the heat conductive plate and being formed with a through-hole through which the sub-mount member is exposed, an encapsulation member for encapsulation of said light emitting diode chip, and a lens superimposed on the encapsulation member. The sub-mount member is formed around a coupling portion of the light emitting diode chip with a reflective film which reflects a light emitted from a side face of the light emitting diode chip. The sub-mount member is selected to have a thickness such that the reflecting film has its surface spaced away from said heat conductive plate by a greater distance than said dielectric substrate.
