Abstract

A read/write head for a magnetic tape includes an elongated chip assembly and a tape running surface formed in the longitudinal direction of the chip assembly. A pair of substantially spaced parallel read/write gap lines for supporting read/write elements extend longitudinally along the tape running surface of the chip assembly. Also, at least one groove is formed on the tape running surface on both sides of each of the read/write gap lines and extends substantially parallel to the read/write gap lines.

Read/write head having a GMR sensor biased by permanent magnets located between the GMR and the pole shields

Patent Yuan, Samuel W [San Carlos, CA]; Rottmayer, Robert Earl [Fremont, CA]; Carey, Matthew J [San Jose, CA]

A compact read/write head having a biased giant magnetoresistive sensor. Permanent magnet films are placed adjacent to the giant magnetoresistive sensor operating in the current-perpendicular-to the-plane (Cpp) mode and spaced with respect to the sensor by conducting films. These permanent magnet films provide a magnetic bias. The bias field is substantial and fairly uniform across sensor height. Biasing of the giant magnetoresistive sensor provides distinguishable response to the rising and falling edges of a recorded pulse on an adjacent recording medium, improves the linearity of the response, and helps to reduce noise. This read/write head is much simpler to fabricatemore » « less

Segmented superconducting tape having reduced AC losses and method of making

Patent Foltyn, Stephen R [Los Alamos, NM]; Jia, Quanxi [Los Alamos, NM]; Arendt, Paul N [Los Alamos, NM]; ...

A superconducting tape having reduced AC losses. The tape has a high temperature superconductor layer that is segmented. Disruptive strips, formed in one of the tape substrate, a buffer layer, and the superconducting layer create parallel discontinuities in the superconducting layer that separate the current-carrying elements of the superconducting layer into strips or filament-like structures. Segmentation of the current-carrying elements has the effect of reducing AC current losses. Methods of making such a superconducting tape and reducing AC losses in such tapes are also disclosed.

Apparatus for storing high magnetic fields having reduced mechanical forces and reduced magnetic pollution

Patent Prueitt, Melvin L [Los Alamos, NM]; Mueller, Fred M [Los Alamos, NM]; Smith, James L [Los Alamos, NM]

The present invention identifies several configurations of conducting elements capable of storing extremely high magnetic fields for the purpose of energy storage or for other uses, wherein forces experienced by the conducting elements and the magnetic field pollution produced at locations away from the configuration are both significantly reduced over those which are present as a result of the generation of such high fields by currently proposed techniques. It is anticipated that the use of superconducting materials will both permit the attainment of such high fields and further permit such fields to be generated with vastly improved efficiency.

Apparatus having reduced mechanical forces for supporting high magnetic fields

Patent Prueitt, Melvin L [Los Alamos, NM]; Mueller, Fred M [Los Alamos, NM]; Smith, James L [Los Alamos, NM]

The present invention identifies several configurations of conducting elements capable of supporting extremely high magnetic fields suitable for plasma confinement, wherein forces experienced by the conducting elements are significantly reduced over those which are present as a result of the generation of such high fields by conventional techniques. It is anticipated that the use of superconducting materials will both permit the attainment of such high fields and further permit such fields to be generated with vastly improved efficiency.

Magnetic fluorescent lamp having reduced ultraviolet self-absorption

Patent Berman, Samuel M [San Francisco, CA]; Richardson, Robert W [Pelham, NY]

The radiant emission of a mercury-argon discharge in a fluorescent lamp assembly (10) is enhanced by providing means (30) for establishing a magnetic field with lines of force along the path of electron flow through the bulb (12) of the lamp assembly, to provide Zeeman splitting of the ultraviolet spectral line. Optimum results are obtained when the magnetic field strength causes a Zeeman splitting of approximately 1.7 times the thermal line width.
