Latest Patents

Jiang is credited with 1 patent: “Magneto-resistive reader utilizing read shields to maintain reference layer magnetization.” The invention describes a magneto-resistive head with two shields that define a read gap. Within the gap, a spacer layer and a reference layer are arranged so that the reference layer’s magnetization direction is set at least partly by the magnetization direction of the first shield. A sense layer is also positioned in the read gap. This arrangement is intended to support stable reference-layer magnetization in a magneto-resistive reader.
