Abstract: A magnetic sensor comprises magnetoresistive elements (31) and permanent
magnet films (32), which are combined together to form GMR elements (11-14, 21-24)
formed on a quartz substrate (2) having a square shape, wherein the permanent magnet
films are paired and connected to both ends of the magnetoresistive elements, so that
an X-axis magnetic sensor and a Y-axis magnetic sensor are realized by adequately
arranging the GMR elements relative to the four sides of the quartz substrate. Herein,
the magnetization direction of the pinned layer (PD) of the magnetoresistive element
forms a prescribed angle of 45° relative to the longitudinal direction of the
magnetoresistive element or relative to the magnetization direction of the permanent
magnet film. Thus, it is possible to reliably suppress offset variations of bridge
connections of the GMR elements even when an intense magnetic field is applied; and
it is therefore possible to noticeably improve the resistant characteristics to an intense
magnetic field.

Abstract: A bandwidth allocation method used in a point-to-multipoint communication
system, for efficiently using the bandwidth while shortening delay time. A central unit
(1) quantizes round-trip propagation delay times of subsidiary units (6, 7, 8), groups the
subsidiary units, assigns the same quantized round-trip delay time to the same group,
and allocates allocation request signal bandwidths to the subsidiary units of the same
group when receiving allocation requests within a predetermined period. Based on the
quantized round-trip delay time, the bandwidths are located as close as possible while
the bandwidths do not temporally overlap with each other and as temporally ahead as
possible. Data signal bandwidths are also allocated to the subsidiary units of the same
group, based on the quantized round-trip delay time and requested amounts of data, in a
manner such that the bandwidths are located as temporally ahead as possible but
temporally behind in comparison with the allocation request signal bandwidths.
