Abstract: A first electronic device includes an inner inductive coil positioned at least partially around a shield core and a second electronic device includes an outer inductive coil positioned around an aperture. The first electronic device is operable to receive power from and/or transmit power to the second electronic device when a portion of the first electronic device is inserted into the aperture of the second electronic device, positioning the inner inductive coil within the aperture and within the outer inductive coil. When power is being transmitted between the first and second electronic devices, the shield core concentrates magnetic flux around the inner inductive coil and/or the outer inductive coil. In some implementations, an outer shield may be positioned at least partially around the outer inductive coil and may also concentrate magnetic flux around the inner inductive coil and/or the outer inductive coil.

Abstract: A stator core (11) is mounted to a stationary member (22) and electric wiring on the stator side is carried out, to thereby assemble a first sub-module (20), and a rotor core (12) is mounted to a rotary member (21) and electric wiring on the rotor side is carried out, to thereby assemble a second sub-module (30). Thereafter, the first and second sub-modules are assembled together, with the stator core and the rotor core opposed to each other, whereby a separable transformer is assembled. A guide member (27), having first and second reference faces defining reference positions in diametrical and axial directions of the rotation shaft (21), respectively, is provided in the rotation shaft (21) rotatably supported by the stationary member and mounted with the rotor core. Mounting positions of the cores are determined with use of the guide member, thereby precisely setting a center position between the cores and a gap length g.

Abstract: A rotary magnetic head unit has a non-contact type transmission device capable of reliably performing non-contact transmission both in signal and power supply systems and designed so as to be smaller in size. The non-contact type transmission device is formed of a rotating member and a fixed member each having a power supply wiring section for transmitting a power supply, a signal wiring section for transmitting a signal, and a crosstalk prevention section positioned between the power supply wiring section and the signal wiring section to prevent crosstalk between these sections.

Abstract: A thin-film magnetic head comprises a read head and a write head. The write head incorporates: a bottom pole layer and a top pole layer (made up of a pole portion layer, a magnetic layer and a yoke portion layer); a write gap layer located between pole portions of these two pole layers; and a thin-film coil at least a part of which is located between the two pole layers and insulated therefrom. The thin-film coil includes a first layer and a second layer between which the write gap layer is located. One of ends of the first layer is connected to one of ends of the second layer. The other of the ends of the first layer is connected to the other of the ends of the second layer, too.

Abstract: In order to provide a thin film magnetic head having a high performance as well as a method of manufacturing the same, in which throat height TH of a pole portion and MR height MRH can be formed accurately to have desired design values for improving a surface recording density and reducing a side fringe magnetic flux during a writing, an MR film 46 is formed such that the film is embedded in a shield gap layer formed on a substrate 41, 42, a first magnetic layer 47 is formed on the shield gap layer, a thin film coil 49, 51 is formed on the first magnetic layer such that the coil is isolated by an insulating layer 48, 50, 52, and a second magnetic layer 54 is formed in accordance with a given pattern. The gap layer 53 is selectively removed by an anisotropic etching in the vicinity of side walls of a pole portion 54a of the second magnetic layer 54, and then the first magnetic layer is partially removed by an ion milling to form a recess 55 having an inner side wall 54a which serves as a positional reference.

Abstract: A thin film magnetic head having a short magnetic path length by reducing a spacing between successive coil windings of a thin film coil to improve flux rising time, NLTS and overwrite characteristics, is efficiently manufactured on a mass scale by forming a write gap layer on a first magnetic layer having a pole portion of the thin film magnetic head opposing to a magnetic record medium, forming, on the write gap layer, a seed layer made of a material which can be easily removed by a reactive ion etching such as Ti—TiN, Mo, W, Al, Ti—TiW, MoSi2 and WSi2, forming coil windings of the thin film coil by electroplating a copper after forming a photoresist having coil-shaped openings formed therein, removing the photoresist, removing selectively the exposed seed layer by the reactive ion etching using a fluorine or chlorine gas, and covering the coil windings with a photoresist.

Abstract: A rotary magnetic head unit has a non-contact type transmission device capable of reliably performing non-contact transmission both in signal and power supply systems and designed so as to be smaller in size. The non-contact type transmission device is formed of a rotating member and a fixed member each having a power supply wiring section for transmitting a power supply, a signal wiring section for transmitting a signal, and a crosstalk prevention section positioned between the power supply wiring section and the signal wiring section to prevent crosstalk between these sections. If a reproducing head formed of a magnetoresistive element is used by being supplied with a bias current from the power supply transmitted by the power supply wiring sections of the rotary and fixed members, the rotary magnetic head unit uses bias current control means to change the bias current supplied to the reproducing head according to the amount of wear of the recording head during reproduction from signals from magnetic tapes.
