A magneto-sensitive wire (magneto-sensitive body) made of a Co-based alloy having a composite structure in which crystal grains are dispersed in an amorphous phase. The Co-based alloy is, for example, a Co—Fe—Si—B-based alloy, and the total amount of Si and B is preferably 20 to 25 at % with respect to the Co-based alloy as a whole. Preferably, the average diameter of the crystal grains is 70 nm or less and the area ratio of the crystal grains is 10% or less to the composite structure as a whole. The magneto-sensitive wire has a circular cross section and the wire diameter is about 1 to 100 μm. Such a magneto-sensitive wire can be obtained, for example, through a heat treatment step of heating an amorphous wire composed of a Co-based alloy at a temperature equal to or higher than a crystallization start temperature and lower than a crystallization end temperature.

The present invention relates to a magnetic sheet, a wireless charging sheet, and a method for manufacturing a magnetic sheet. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic sheet used in a wireless charging sheet, which includes a metal sheet layer consisting of a plurality of divided segments; and an insulating material filled in a dividing space between the segments and forms a magnetic path of a magnetic field generated around a coil, is provided. Further, a wireless charging sheet and a method for manufacturing a magnetic sheet are provided.

This application relates to a case for a portable electronic device. The case includes a housing having walls that define a cavity, where the walls are capable of carrying the portable electronic device within the cavity. The walls carry operational components that include a processor capable of providing instructions, a magnetic circuit capable of generating a magnetic field in response to receiving the instructions from the processor, and a magnetosensitive layer that includes (i) a matrix, and (ii) magnetic particles interspersed within the matrix according to a first distribution, where when the magnetosensitive layer is exposed to the magnetic field, the magnetic particles are rearranged according to a second distribution.

An object is to provide a magneto-sensitive wire (magneto-sensitive body) with which the measurement range of a magnetic sensor can be expanded, the heat resistance and the high-temperature durability can be improved, and other appropriate properties can be obtained. The magneto-sensitive wire of the present invention is composed of a Co-based alloy having a composite structure in which crystal grains are dispersed in an amorphous phase. The Co-based alloy is, for example, a CoFeSiB-based alloy. In this case, the total amount of Si and B is preferably 20 to 25 at % with respect to the Co-based alloy as a whole. Preferably, the average diameter of the crystal grains is 70 nm or less and the area ratio of the crystal grains is 10% or less to the composite structure as a whole. The magneto-sensitive wire has a circular cross section, for example, and the wire diameter is about 1 to 100 m. Such a magneto-sensitive wire can be obtained, for example, through a heat treatment step of heating an amorphous wire composed of a Co-based alloy at a temperature equal to or higher than a crystallization start temperature and lower than a crystallization end temperature. This step is preferably performed while applying tensile stress to the amorphous phase.

A device is described, which, according to one exemplary embodiment, includes a carrier which has a through opening along a longitudinal axis, and at least one soft magnetic strip wound around the carrier to form a toroidal strip core. The strip is wound directly onto the carrier so that there is no play between the toroidal strip core and the carrier. The carrier can thus serve as part of the housing of the toroidal strip core.

Apparatus for aligning magnetic wire aligns magnetic wires on a wire alignment substrate along its base lines, which are positions the magnetic wires are aligned with, with a small interval and without inducing torsional stresses. A microscope is used to detect misplacement between the base line and a reference line that is the magnetic wire taking a form of a straight line under application of tensile force and pulled out by a wire chuck. The misplacement is corrected using a position adjustment device of a substrate attaching base to which the wire alignment substrate is attached. The magnetic wires are temporarily fixed to the wire alignment substrate by magnetic power, and then permanently fixed to the wire alignment substrate using resin while free from the torsional stresses.
