A solid-state component is described which includes a network of thin-film elements. At least one thin-film element exhibits giant magnetoresistance. The network has a plurality of nodes, each of which represents a direct electrical connection between two of the thin-film elements. First and second ones...http://www.google.es/patents/US6031273?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatente US6031273 - All-metal, giant magnetoresistive, solid-state component
