Abstract: | A new magnetic transducer has been developed for use in the measurement of mechanical displacement. Experiments suggest that the transducer could be used for various purposes: for instance, readout information from magnetic drums or disks of computers, nondestructive readout from thin-film memories, magnetic pattern recognition, and an unconventional flux sensor. The transducer is composed of flux-sensitive magnetic heads which are fabricated from a sheet of ferromagnetic thin film by photoetching process. By using the etching process, a large number of heads are produced simultaneously, and the heads are operated in a group. The characteristics, performances, and an application of grouped magnetic heads are described in this paper. |
