Thin film magnetic register

Claim 1

MEMORY ACCESS MEANS FOR READING INFORMATION FROM A FIRST ADDRESS OF A MEMORY MATRIX COMPRISED OF VERTICAL COLUMNS AND HORIZONTAL ROWS OF MAGNETIC ELEMENTS AND FOR WRITING BACK INTO SAID FIRST ADDRESS AND A SELECTED SECOND ADDRESS, COMPRISING: A PLURALITY OF ADDRESS SELECTING CONDUCTOR, ONE INDIVIDUAL TO EACH ROW OF MAGNETIC ELEMENTS AND CONSTRUCTED, IN RESPONSE TO A CURRENT THERETHROUGH, TO CAUSE AN ALTERATION OF THE MAGNETIZATION OF THE MAGNETIC ELEMENTS IN A SELECTED ROW OF MAGNETIC ELEMENTS, A PLURALITY OF BIT CONDUCTORS, ONE INDIVIDUAL TO EACH COLUMN OF MAGNETIC ELEMENTS AND CONSTRUCTED TO RESPOND TO THE ALTERATIONS IN THE MAGNETIZATION OF INDIVIDUAL MAGNETIC ELEMENTS OF THE SELECTED ROW TO HAVE PRODUCED THEREIN SENSING CURRENT PULSES REPRESENTATIVE TO THE INFORMATION STORED IN SAID SELECTED ROW OF ELEMENTS, SAID PLURALITY OF BIT CONDUCTORS FURTHER CONSTRUCTED, IN RESPONSE TO A CURRENT THERETHROUGH, TO MAGNETIZE THE ADDRESSED MAGNETIC ELEMENTS OF A SELECTED COLUMN OF MAGNETIC ELEMENTS IN A POLARITY DETERMINED BY THE POLARITY OF THE CURRENT THERETHROUGH, FIRST ROW SELECTING MEANS FOR PASSING A CURRENT THROUGH A FIRST ONE OF SAID ADDRESS SELECTING CONDUCTORS TO CAUSE READ-OUT OF THE INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, SECOND ROW SELECTING MEANS INCLUDING MEANS FOR PASSING A PULSE THROUGH A SECOND ONE OF SAID ADDRESS SELECTING CONDUCTORS A PREDETERMINED TIME INTERVAL AFTER ENERGIZATION OF SAID FIRST ADDRESS SELECTING CONDUCTOR, A PLURALITY OF DETECTING MEANS, ONE INDIVIDUAL TO EACH COLUMN OF A MAGNETIC CORES AND COMPRISING SENSING MEANS AND STORAGE MEANS CONSTRUCTED TO RESPOND ONLY SO THAT SENSED CURRENT OF THE ASSOCIATED BIT CONDUCTOR DERIVED FROM ENERGIZATION OF AN ADDRESS SELECTING CONDUCTOR BY SAID FIRST ROW SELECTING MEANS AND TO STORE THE INFORMATION REPRESENTED BY THE SENSED CURRENT, AND DETECTING MEANS FURTHER CONSTRUCTED TO PRODUCE AN OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM SAID STORAGE MEANS AFTER ENERGIZATION OF THE ADDRESS SELECTING CONDUCTOR OF SAID SECOND ROW SELECTING MEANS, AND A PLURALITY OF BIT CURRENT PULSE GENERATORS, ONE INDIVIDUAL TO EACH COLUMN OF MAGNETIC ELEMENTS AND RESPONSIVE TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID STORAGE MEANS TO PRODUCE A DRIVING SIGNAL THROUGH THE BIT CONDUCTOR OF THE ASSOCIATED COLUMN OF MAGNETIC ELEMENTS TO MAGNETIZE SAID MAGNETIC ELEMENT OF THE FIRST AND SECOND SELECTED ROWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORIGINAL STATE OF MAGNETIZATION OF SAID FIRST ROW AND MAGNETIC ELEMENTS.
