Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA

International Classification:

G11B005/33

US Classification:

36032412

Abstract:

A transducing head has a magnetoresistive sensor, a first bias element, and a second bias element. The magnetoresistive sensor is positioned between the first and second bias elements, and has a sensor width. The first bias element has a first length and the second bias element has a second length. The direction of the first and second lengths are substantially similar to the direction of the sensor width. The first and second lengths in the range of about one-tenth to about twenty times the sensor width.

International Classification:

G11B 5/127

US Classification:

36032412

Abstract:

A magnetoresistive sensor having an MR stack biased by high anisotropy hard bias elements thereby reducing distortion in sensor operation and improving head to head operational values. The high anisotropy hard bias elements are formed from a hard magnetic material deposited in a thin film having a substantially axial preferred direction of magnetic anisotropy prior to application of a setting field. The magnetic anisotropy in the hard magnetic material is formed by oblique deposition in a direction approximately normal to the preferred direction of anisotropy in the resulting hard bias element.

International Classification:

A21D 10/00

US Classification:

426556

Abstract:

The invention relates to a bakery fat system that is low in trans- and saturated fatty acids. A process for making the system of the present invention is also disclosed and a use in bakery applications, in particular in pastry applications, is also disclosed. In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a bakery fat system comprising from 30 weight/weight % (w/w %) to 75 w/w %, of a lipid and from 25 w/w % t 70 w/w % of a porous edible particle, characterized in that said bakery fat system is a structured fat system wherein the lipid is present as a continuous phase. In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a process for making the bakery fat system, a bakery product comprising the bakery fat system and further bakery ingredients, and the use of the bakery fat system in bakery applications, in particular in pastry applications, are also disclosed.
