The group's principal activity is to develop, produce and distribute components that combine giant magnetoresistance(gmr) materials with integrated circuits. The products of the group include sensors, isolators and magnetoresistive computer memory technology ('mram'). Sensors are combined with integrated circuits deposited in layers to form magnetic field. Isolators eliminate ground noise in communication and are commonly used in communication networks. Magnetoresistive computer memory technology is a nonvolatile memory where the data is stored in the magnetism of thin films of iron, nickel and cobalt and then recovered through the magnetoresistive properties.
