A current determiner having an output at which representations of input currents are provided comprising an input conductor for the input current and a current sensor (23) supported on a substrate electrically isolated from one another but with the sensor positioned in the magnetic fields arising about the input conductor due to any input currents. The sensor extends along the substrate in a direction at an angle to the extent of the input conductor and is formed of at least a pair of thin-film ferromagnetic layers (16 17) , separated by a nonmagnetic layer (18) with one of these two ferromagnetic thinfilm layers (16, 17) having a magnetization that is substantially maintained in …

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 4, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 4, 2019.

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