The second pole piece is a thin film of the soft magnetic material. A closure block of a non-magnetic ceramic encloses the layers together with leveling insulation layers and a deposited activating conductor turns.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 1, 1992 and granted September 22, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 1, 2012.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
