A magnetoresistance device is proposed in [both a] magnetically and electrically modulated two-dimensional electron gas, which can be realized experimentally by the deposition, on the top and bottom of a semiconductor heterostructure, of two parallel metallic ferromagnetic strips under an applied voltage. It is shown that a considerable magnetoresistance effect can be achieved in such a device due to the significant transmission difference for electrons through parallel and antiparallel magnetization configurations. 1, record 1, English, - magnetoresistance%20device

The Keronite coating process resembles anodising in that it uses an electric power supply and an electrolyte bath. However, it is significantly different from anodising in that it produces much harder, thicker layers while using environmentally less harmful alkali electrolytes and a specially modulated AC voltage. Keronite coating involves creating a plasma discharge around a component immersed in an electrolyte that provides surface oxidation as well as the potential for elemental co-deposition. 2, record 2, English, - Keronite%20process
