Scalable high performance magnetoelastic tags for electronic article surveillance
5924 – An electrical engineering research team has developed a discrete and low-cost magnetoelastic-tagging platform with a footprint 100 times smaller than conventional tags. Magnetoelastic tags are ubiquitously used in electronic article surveillance (EAS) where they offer low-cost, reliability and ease-of-use for inhibiting retail thefts. Developing smaller form factors to enable their use in... Read More
Epitaxial Magnetic Sensors
1735 – Magnetic storage technology has increasing growth rate, which has enabled the hard disk drive industry to drive costs down. While many factors such as fly height, media, etc. can also be improved, magnetic recording heads capable of higher speeds and densities are the key to continuing this trend. The magnetic sensing used so far, is done by a change in magnetoresistance (MR) induced in... Read More
