Abstract

Abstract Optimum size of single wall domains in a magnetic sheet is reduced by applying to each face of the sheet a high permeability overlay of prescribed thickness. Increased packing densities and operating margins result.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 85 words
Apparatus comprising a sheet of magnetic material in which a single wall domain having a radius r can be moved, said domain having a flux density Bo, first and second layers of relatively high permeability material contiguous first and second surfaces of said sheet, said first layer having a flux density B1 and a thickness t such that said layer magnetically saturates locally in the presence of a domain having a radius r 2t (B1/B0) , said second layer having at least a thickness t.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 85 words
Apparatus comprising a sheet of magnetic material in which a single wall domain having a radius r can be moved, said domain having a flux density Bo, first and second layers of relatively high permeability material contiguous first and second surfaces of said sheet, said first layer having a flux density B1 and a thickness t such that said layer magnetically saturates locally in the presence of a domain having a radius r 2t (B1/B0) , said second layer having at least a thickness t.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein said second layer has a thickness for essentially unlimited flux handling capability.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
Apparatus in accordance with claim 1 in combination with means for moving said domain in said sheet and means for detecting domains in said sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
A combination in accordance with claim 3 also including means for introducing single wall domains into said sheet selectively.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 51 words
Apparatus comprising a sheet of magnetic material in which single wall domains can be moved, each of said domains having associated therewith a magnetostatic field and means comprising a magnetic layer coupled to said sheet and having a thickness for maintaining constant said magnetic field for domains of significantly different sizes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 51 words
Apparatus comprising a sheet of magnetic material in which single wall domains can be moved, each of said domains having associated therewith a magnetostatic field and means comprising a magnetic layer coupled to said sheet and having a thickness for maintaining constant said magnetic field for domains of significantly different sizes.
