The LTIA assay is applicable in quantitating the concentration of LPL in both pre-heparin serum and post-heparin plasma. This assay is more convenient and faster than ELISA and highly suitable for clinical routine analysis.
Shielded current perpendicular to the plane (CPP) spin valve heads with about 20 Gbit/in.2 dimensions were fabricated and tested both quasistatically and dynamically. Dual synthetic spin valves with 2.3 mΩ μm2 of resistivity change and area product (dRA) was used. Quasistatic tests were conducted to determine the current efficiency loss caused by the specific CPP head structure. Dynamic tests were performed to examine the flux efficiency of the readback process in the spin valve element, in order to confirm the calculation results which take into account the increase of effective anisotropy field caused by the circular sense current field. Output voltage of about 260 μV (peak to peak) was successfully obtained from the dynamic tests. Finite element modeling analysis of current distribution and temperature rise, together with degradation experiments with excessive sense current, was conducted to predict the maximum allowable current density in the 200 Gbit/in.2 dimension, where read track width and stripe height are assumed to be 100 nm. With these results, requirements of spin valve material properties (dRA, RA) and the CPP structure was predicted. Essential issues to satisfy the requirements and possible solutions are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
