Abstract:
A magnetic bubble expansion detector for a bubble memory is incorporated into a dynamic guard rail encompassing that memory in order to eliminate expanded bubbles after detection without shrinking the bubbles to normal size.
Abstract:
A conductor access bubble expansion and propagation arrangement is realized by interleaving the legs of a sinusoid-shaped conductor with narrow regions of relatively low moment material defined in a layer in which domains can be moved. Elongated low moment regions permit domain expansion in response to drive pulses applied to the conductor whereas a variation in the lengths of consecutive regions allows first growth and the reduction of the length of domains to a normal operating size as a domain is advanced along the axis of the sinusoid. A bubble expansion arrangement suitable for bubble detection and for a turn geometry for a closed loop bubble channel results.
Abstract:
Spurious single wall domains, periodically introduced into the vicinity of an operating single wall domain circuit particularly during high speed operation, are eliminated by a propagation annulus encompassing the circuit. The annular is operative to move domains in a direction outwardly across its axis.
Abstract:
A single wall domain propagation arrangement is provided by a pattern of closely spaced magnetically soft elements which define a ''''fine-grained'''' propagation path between a plurality of inputs and outputs. The pattern permits movement of domains laterally across the path, an option exercised by the design of the pattern itself or by domain interaction. When lateral movement is employed, the output at which a domain occurs is a logical function of the input and a full adder operation may be realized.
Abstract:
A relatively large output signal is achieved from an expanded magnetic domain by a relatively long magnetoresistance element in the path of the domain. The relatively long element is formed with a minimum loss of space by including within the magnetoresistance element portions of the already present magnetic elements which define the path along which the domain moves. Domain movement and expansion is due to the geometry of the path-defining elements and is responsive to a magnetic field rotating in the plane of domain movement.
