Title: Voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy switching device using an external ferromagnetic biasing film
Inventor: JORDAN KATINE
IPC: H01L43/08
Filed: 2016-06-01
Abstract: A voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) switching device (and method of manufacture/use) comprising an external ferromagnetic biasing film, and embodiment in the form of a Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory MRAM in particular a magneto-electrical RAM MeRAM) memory device. The MRAM device includes a substrate, at least one magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack 704 disposed thereon the substrate 702, wherein the MTJ stack 704 comprises a tunnel barrier layer 708 (e.g MgO) between a first ferromagnetic layer (e.g CoFeB) having a fixed magnetization (layer 706) and a second ferromagnetic layer (CoFeB) having unfixed magnetization (magnetic free layer 710), and a magnet 712 (which may be a permanent magnet) disposed adjacent to the second ferromagnetic layer. The magnet 712 may comprise a ferromagnetic biasing layer formed horizontally parallel to the substrate and aligned with the second ferromagnetic layer 710, and may comprise of a hard ferromagnetic layer (CoPt Cobalt Platinum ) or a soft ferromagnetic layer (NiFe Nickel Iron) pinned by an antiferromagnet. The first and second ferromagnetic layer may also comprise CoFeB layer. The magnetization of the second ferromagnetic layer precesses about a bias field from the magnet such that a magnetic polarity of the second ferromagnetic layer is reversed when an electrical bias field (voltage) is applied to the MTJ stack. The Magnetoresistive RAM (MeRAM) uses Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) effect for readout, however the writing of information is performed by voltage controlled magnetic anisotropy VCMA of the tunnel barrier (e.g providing perpendicular anisotropy) as opposed to current controlled spin transfer torque STT or spin orbit torque SOT mechanisms. The emphasis is therefore on the application of a voltage via an electric field across the MTJ device, thus reducing the power requirements of memory devices.

Title: Radio control transmissions
Inventor: Per Henrik Borgstrom
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2016-09-19
Abstract: A radio control (RC) vehicle, e.g. drone, travelling in a predefined zone is detected 710 by scanning frequencies of radio frequency (RF) signals, measuring RF power in frequency bands of the scanned frequencies and generating a temporal RF signature based on the measured RF power. A frequency hopping scheme of a RC communications protocol used by the RC vehicle is determined 725, and a timing and an order of the frequency hopping scheme is determined 730 to produce an RC signature of the RC vehicle. The RC vehicle may be engaged by transmitting interfering RF signals at a precise frequency and timing as the frequency hopping scheme exhibited by the RC vehicle 740 and/or by seizing control of the RC vehicle by injecting one or more data packets to control the vehicles travel or disrupt normal communication of the RC vehicle to disable remote control between the RC vehicle and its operator.

Title: Hermetic vacuum pump isolation valve
Inventor: GEORGE GALICA
IPC: F16K51/02
Filed: 2017-08-25
Abstract: A vacuum pump isolation (VPI) valve, vacuum pump and vacuum system are disclosed. The VPI valve 214 is interposed between a vacuum pump 218 and vacuum chamber 226. Exhaust gas 254 is connected to the VPI valve via a pilot (relay) valve 246. When the pump becomes non-operational, such as due to power failure, the pilot valve 246 opens, so that the VPI valve shuts-off in response to exhaust gas 254 pressure. The VPI valve is further described to comprise a piston and control volume arrangement. A flexible membrane may also be used. Exhaust gases flowing through the pilot valve 246 pressurize the control volume and cause movement of the valve, embodied as the piston and membrane. The VPI valve may be biased, by a spring, in the open state and the pilot valve may be configured to be normally open and switch to closed when power is received, so that it opens in response to power failure. The disclosed VPI valve does not require ambient air and so is hermetic.
