NVE Notified of Two Patent Grants
June 24, 2008NVE Corporation has been notified by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office of the expected grant today of two patents relating to spintronics.
The first patent is number 7,390,584 and titled Spin dependent tunneling
devices having reduced topological coupling. Spin-dependent tunnel
junctions, also known as magnetic tunnel junctions or tunneling magnetic junctions,
are spintronic structures that can form the heart of spintronic magnetoresistive
random access memory technology, commonly known as MRAM.
The second patent is number 7,391,091 and titled Magnetic particle flow
detector,and is related to spintronic biosensor technology, which could
be used in laboratory-on-a-chip systems.
The projected grants will bring NVEs U.S. patent total to 48. The company
has more than 100 patents worldwide issued, pending, or licensed from others.
Links to the new patent and NVE's other U.S. patents can be found at the About
NVE section of the company's Website (www.nve.com).
NVE is a leader in the practical commercialization of spintronics, a nanotechnology
that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store and
transmit information. The company manufactures high-performance spintronic products
including sensors and couplers that are used to acquire and transmit data. NVE
has also licensed its spintronic magnetoresistive random access memory technology,
commonly known as MRAM.
