A electromagnetic actuating device for a valve, having an armature arranged in a hollow cylindrical armature chamber axially displaceable between two axial stops, wherein the armature chamber is delimited by a magnet yoke. An electrical coil extends coaxially around the armature, and the magnet yoke is at least partially arranged in a housing. The armature has a cylindrical geometry with a base remote from the housing and with a hollow cylindrical end section situated axially opposite. The base is remote from the housing and connected to an actuating plunger. A guide sleeve is mounted axially onto the hollow cylindrical end section of the armature, and on that end of the guide sleeve which is remote from the actuating plunger, there is arranged or formed an adhesion prevention device which prevents or at least greatly impedes axial adhesion of the armature to the magnet yoke. The guide sleeve makes it possible to realize a reduction in width of the parasitic air gap between the armature and the magnet yoke in order to increase the actuating forces of the actuating device with simultaneously reduced number of components.

A coil arrangement is provided for generating a rotating electromagnetic field, comprising at least three coils, each having at least one associated coil winding. The coil arrangement further comprises a ferromagnetic coil yoke which establishes a magnetic coupling between the at least three coils.

An apparatus and method for plating magnetic cores by periodically transferring a plate directly back and forth between a metal plating environment and an insulation deposit environment. This direct metal to insulation to metal plating is enabled by a nano-scale insulation layer that provides an imperfect coverage of the metal layer while still keeping sufficient insulation to prevent eddy current formationeven during high-frequency current applications. Therefore, this invention enables the practical creation of magnetic cores having layers with widths even under one nanometer and can generate cores having a layer scale that can be varied to suit a variety of uses in the microelectronic industry.

The magnetic sensor can prevent an increase of a positional detection error of a subject/object even in the case of applying an external magnetic field with a magnetic field intensity exceeding a predetermined range. A magnetic sensor is equipped with a magnetoresistive effect element (MR element) 11 that can detect an external magnetic field and a soft magnetic body shield 12. The soft magnetic body shield(s) 12 are/is positioned above and/or below the MR element 11 in a side view, and the size of the MR element 11 is physically included within a perimeter of the soft magnetic body shield 12.

The subject matter described herein relates to laminated magnetic cores, methods of fabricating laminated magnetic cores, and electric devices using laminated magnetic cores. In some examples, a method for fabricating a laminated magnetic core includes depositing a first magnetic layer and depositing an interlamination layer of over the first magnetic layer. The interlamination layer comprises a partially conducting material having a conductivity greater than or equal to 10.sup.?4 S/cm and less than or equal to 10.sup.5 S/cm. The method includes depositing a second magnetic layer over the interlamination layer. The method can include sequentially depositing additional interlamination layers and additional magnetic layers in an alternating fashion to produce the laminated magnetic core.

A composite magnetic member configured so a nonmagnetic portion different from conventional ones is formed in part of a magnetic member and includes: a base portion including a mother material containing a ferrite phase; and a nonmagnetic portion having an austenite phase that is formed by solid solution of nitrogen (N) into a part of the mother material, the nonmagnetic portion having saturated magnetization less than that of the base portion. The nonmagnetic portion can be obtained by irradiating a high energy beam to a surface portion of stainless steel or the like while relatively moving the beam. This beam is near-ultraviolet nanosecond pulse laser having a short wavelength within a near-ultraviolet range and a pulse width of 10 ps to 100 ns. By adjusting the amount of N introduced and to form a solid solution due to the modification process, the nonmagnetization ratio of the member can be controlled.
