A method of making magnetizable abrasive particles includes providing a slurry layer disposed on a substrate. The slurry layer has an exposed surface and comprises magnetic particles, a binder precursor, and a liquid vehicle. Abrasive particles are electrostatically contacted with the slurry layer such that they are aligned substantially oriented perpendicular to the surface of the substrate, and are partially embedded within the slurry layer. The liquid vehicle is at least partially removed from the slurry layer and the binder precursor is converted into a binder to provide a magnetizable layer comprising the magnetic particles partially embedded in the binder. The magnetizable abrasive particles are separated from the releasable substrate. Each magnetizable abrasive particle respectively comprises a portion of the magnetizable layer disposed on a portion of an abrasive particle.

A magnetic ink reader includes a conveyance mechanism for a sheet, a magnetizing mechanism configured to magnetize magnetic ink on the sheet and including a magnet having a first side of a first magnetic polarity, that is arranged to face a first surface of the sheet, and a yoke that is formed of a soft magnetic material and includes a base portion attached directly to a second side of the magnet, and an extension portion extending from the base portion such that an end surface of the extension portion faces a second surface of the sheet, and a magnetic detection head along the conveyance path and configured to detect magnetism of the magnetized magnetic ink on the sheet. A first distance between the conveyance path and the first side of the magnet is less than a second distance between the conveyance path and the end surface of the yoke.

A magnetic sheet includes a sheet, line-shaped N first magnetic members arranged on the sheet and having magnetic properties, and line-shaped N second magnetic members arranged on the sheet and having magnetic properties, where N denotes the number of the first magnetic members and denotes the number of the second magnetic members.

Articles, devices and machines are disclosed for initiating structural changes based on material magnetic properties to cause self-adjustment to improve the operation or function of structures, devices or machines. In one aspect, a device exhibiting a self-healing property to repair a damage, the device including a device structure over which magnetic microparticles are dispersed to impart a self-healing ability to enable the device structure, once damaged to have a broken portion, to self-repair based on magnetic attraction of the dispersed magnetic microparticles to cause re-attachment of the broken portion.
