US Patent Issued to ALPS ALPINE on June 3 for "Magnetic sensor and current sensor including magneto-resistance element" (Japanese Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 4 -- United States Patent no. 12,320,869, issued on June 3, was assigned to ALPS ALPINE Co. LTD. (Tokyo).

"Magnetic sensor and current sensor including magneto-resistance element" was invented by Yosuke Ide (Niigata-ken, Japan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A magnetic sensor includes a magnetic-field detector including magneto-resistance elements, and a shield. Since the feedback coil is disposed so as to overlap with the magnetic-field detector, and the shield is disposed so as to overlap with the feedback coil, the cancellation field of the feedback coil makes it difficult to cause magnetization saturation. The shield is annular in shape as viewed from a direction norm...
