Abstract: A magnetic random access memory ("MRAM") device can be selectively written using spin-transfer reflection mode techniques. Selectivity of a designated MRAM cell within an MRAM array is achieved by the dependence of the spin-transfer switching current on the relative angle between the magnetizations of the polarizer element and the free magnetic element in the MRAM cell. The polarizer element has a variable magnetization that can be altered in response to the application of a current, e.g., a digit line current. When the magnetization of the polarizer element is in the natural default orientation, the data in the MRAM cell is preserved. When the magnetization of the polarizer element is switched, the data in the MRAM cell can be written in response to the application of a relatively low write current.

Abstract: A ball and socket joint, for example, for an axle system of a motor vehicle. The ball and socket joint has an essentially ring-shaped or pot-shaped joint housing ( 1 ), in the essentially cylindrical interior space of which a ball shell 2 can be arranged. The ball 3 of a ball pivot 4 or of a ball sleeve 8 can be accommodated in the ball shell 2 in a slidingly movable manner. The bearing surface 10 of the ball shell 2 is essentially the same as the surface of an ellipsoid of revolution, whose smaller semiaxis coincides with the axial direction of the ball and socket joint. The construction has advantages in terms of service life, fail-safe operation and load-bearing capacity. The more uniform surface pressure distribution in the bearing gap between the ball shell and joint ball guarantees reduced wear and lower moments of friction.
