Zelentsov Y. A., Zelentsov V. Y. On the efficiency of passive temperature compensation circuits in unbalanced bridge circuits

The paper examines the efficiency of existing passive circuits for the temperature compensation of initial offset drift in bridge circuits and their possible application in metal-film sensors. The variants of temperature compensation circuits for metal-film sensors compatible in manufacture technology with the ICs of thin-film resistive-strain sensors are described.

Semyonov V. S. The writing field of a single-pole thin-film magnetic head

The opportunity of applying high-density magnetic recording on a platter with Winchester-type longitudinal recording of a single-pole thin-film magnetic head. A simple expression for a single-pole writing field is obtained that can be used for synthesizing the writing field of a two-pole thin-film magnetic head with various magnetic and geometrical parameters independently for each pole.

Kudryavtsev O. B. Eddy-current-based detection of low conductive objects

The paper offers a method for low conductive objects detection in dielectrical and low conductive environments using eddy current technique. The method is applicable also against the background of motionless and moving metal objects. A non-contact induction doorway monitor for access control systems is described.
