Magnetic core gating circuits

Claim 1

A SIGNAL CONTROL SYSTEM COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF SIGNAL LINES ADAPTED TO BE SELECTIVELY GATED; A MAGNETIC CORE REGISTER HAVING A PLURALITY OF BISTABLE MAGNETIC CORES ONE FOR EACH OF SAID SIGNAL LINES AND HAVING TWO STABLE STATES OF MAGNETIC REMANENCE, A DRIVE WINDING, AN ADVANCE WINDING, A REGENERATION WINDING, AND AN OUTPUT WINDING ALL INDUCTIVELY COUPLED TO EACH OF SAID CORES; A POTENTIAL SOURCE; A PLURALITY OF TRANSISTORS, ONE COUPLED WITH EACH OF SAID SIGNAL LINES FOR SELECTIVELY CONNECTING A SIGNAL LINE WITH SAID POTENTIAL SOURCE; MEANS FOR NORMALLY BIASING EACH OF SAID TRANSISTORS TO A NONCONDUCTIVE CONDITION; MEANS COUPLING THE BIASING MEANS FOR EACH TRANSISTOR WITH THE OUTPUT WINDING OF ITS RESPECTIVE CORE; MEANS FOR SELECTIVELY APPLYING A CURRENT PULSE TO ONE OF SAID DRIVE WINDINGS FOR SWITCHING A SELECTED CORE FROM A REFERENCE STABLE STATE TO ITS OTHER STABLE STATE WHEREBY THE INDUCED CURRENT IN THE OUTPUT WINDING OF SAID SELECTED CORE SERVES TO OVERCOME THE BIASING MEANS FOR THE ASSOCIATED TRANSISTOR FOR RENDERING THE TRANSISTOR CONDUCTIVE TO THEREBY APPLY A GATING POTENTIAL TO THE SIGNAL LINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SELECTED CORE; AN ENERGY STORING ELEMENT COUPLED WITH SAID BIASING MEANS AND SERVING TO STORE AN ENERGY CHARGE DURING THE SWITCHING OF SAID CORE FOR MAINTAINING AND CONDUCTING TRANSISTOR CONDUCTIVE FOR A PREDETERMINED TIME INTERVAL AFTER THE TERMINATION OF SAID CURRENT PULSE TO SAID DRIVE WINDING CONNECTING MEANS; AND MEANS FOR OPTIONALLY APPLYING A CURRENT PULSE TO THE REGENERATION WINDING OR ADVANCE WINDING ON SAID CORE DURING THE PREDETERMINED TIME INTERVAL THAT SAID TRANSISTOR IS MAINTAINED CONDUCTIVE FOR RESTORABLY SWITCHING SAID SELECTED CORE TO ITS REFERENCE STATE OF REMANENCE OR FOR SWITCHING THE NEXT SUCCEEDING CORE TO ITS REFERENCE STATE OF REMANENCE.
