Programmable sequence detector

Claim 1

A SEQUENE DETECTOR FOR DETECTING A PREDETERMINED SEQUENCE OF BINARY DIGIT SIGNALS COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF STAGES EACH STAGE BEING ASSIGNED TO DETECT A DIFFERENT BINARY SIGNAL IN SAID SEQUENCE, EACH STAGE INCLUDING FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS EACH OF WHICH HAS TWO DIFFERENT STATES OF MAGNETIC REMANENCE RESPECTIVELY REPRESENTATIVE OF A BINARY ONE AND A BINARY ZERO BEING STORED THEREIN, MEANS FOR DRIVING EACH FIRST MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS TO A MAGNETIC REMANENT STATE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BINARY SIGNAL IN SAID SEQUENCE IT IS DESIRED TO DETECT, INFORMATION WINDING MEANS FOR SUCCESSIVELY DRIVING SAID SECOND MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS TO A STATE OF MAGNETIC REMANENCE REPRESENTATIVE OF A BINARY SIGNAL IN SAID SEQUENCE IT IS ASSIGNED TO DETECT, INFORMATION WINDING MEANS FOR SUCCESSIVELY DRIVING EACH SAID SECOND MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS TO A MAGNETIC REMANENT STATE REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCCESSIVE BINARY DIGIT SIGNALS, MEANS FOR DRIVING EACH SAID FIRST AND SECOND MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS TO A PREDETERMINED ONE OF THEIR STATES OF MAGNETIC REMANENCE, TRANSFER WINDING MEANS COUPLING EACH SAID FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SAID FIRST AND SECOND STORAGE MEANS BEING DRIVEN TO THEIR PREDETERMINED STATES OF MAGNETIC REMANENCE FOR DRIVING SAID THIRD MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS TO A PREDETERMINED STATE OF MAGNETIC REMANENCE WHEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND STORAGE MEANS STORE A DIFFERENT BINARY DIGIT AT THE TIME THEY ARE GIVEN AND FOR LEAVING SAID THIRD MAGNETIC STORAGE MEANS UNAFFECTED WHEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND STORAGE MEANS STORE THE SAME BINARY DIGIT.
