Abstract

Abstract The apparatus aspect of the disclosure describes a computer information storage device comprising a wire, a magnetic material substantially surrounding the wire, and a coating located between the wire and the magnetic material for providing a smooth surface on which the magnetic material may be deposited. The coating also provides a barrier that prevents diffusion of the wire into the magnetic material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 46 words
A method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of forming the wire into an array comprises the steps of: arranging the center lines of said segments 30 to 50 mils apart; and placing an equal amount of tension on each segment of the wire.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 59 words
A method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of cleaning the wire comprises the steps of: applying trichloroethylene (cl2CH- CH2cl) to the wire; applying acetone (CH3COCH3) or methanol (CH3OH) to the wire; applying a nitric acid (HNO3) solution to the wire; applying a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to the wire; and rinsing the wire in distilled water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
A method, as claimed in claiM 1, wherein the coating substance comprises a silicate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the coating substance comprises a material selected from the group consisting of potassium silicate (K2SiO3), and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
A method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein said predetermined temperature exceeds 400* C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 32 words
A method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sputter deposition is stopped when the thickness of the coating of magnetic material on the wire is between 1000 angstroms and 3000 angstroms.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 65 words
A method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the steps of arranging electrical conductors adjacent to the coated segments of said wire comprises the steps of: positioning the segments in contact with a circuit board; applying an adhesive to the segments and the circuit board simultaneously; placing the electrical conductors over the segments; and connecting the electrical conductors to predetermined sections of the circuit board.
