Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
In a bubble domain system, the combination of a first portion of magnetic bubble domain material having a magnetization of a first level determined by the properties of the material wherein bubble domains having a first minimum diameter are permitted and a second portion of magnetic bubble domain material adjacent to said first portion, said second portion having a level of magnetization determined by the properties of the material different than said first portion wherein bubble domains having a second minimum diameter are permitted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
In a bubble domain system, the combination of a first portion of magnetic bubble domain material having a magnetization of a first level determined by the properties of the material wherein bubble domains having a first minimum diameter are permitted and a second portion of magnetic bubble domain material adjacent to said first portion, said second portion having a level of magnetization determined by the properties of the material different than said first portion wherein bubble domains having a second minimum diameter are permitted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A combination as described in claim 1 including a third portion of magnetic bubble domain material adjacent to said second portion, said third portion having a magnetization level different from said second portion and similar to the magnetization level of said first portion wherein bubble domains having said first diameter are permitted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A bubble domain system as recited in claim 1 including generator means associated with said first portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A bubble domain system as recited in claim 1 including detector means associated with said first portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
104 words
In a bubble domain system, the combination of a first portion of bubble domain material having a first level of magnetization, a generator associated with said first portion suitable for generating a bubble domain in said first portion, a second portion of bubble domain material associated with said first portion, said second portion having a magnetization level higher than said first portion, a third portion of bubble domain material associated with said second portion, said third portion having a magnetization level lower than said second portion, and a detector associated with said third portion suitable for detecting a bubble domain in said third portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
104 words
In a bubble domain system, the combination of a first portion of bubble domain material having a first level of magnetization, a generator associated with said first portion suitable for generating a bubble domain in said first portion, a second portion of bubble domain material associated with said first portion, said second portion having a magnetization level higher than said first portion, a third portion of bubble domain material associated with said second portion, said third portion having a magnetization level lower than said second portion, and a detector associated with said third portion suitable for detecting a bubble domain in said third portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
A bubble domain structure comprising a single crystal substrate, a film of single crystal magnetic material, said film having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion having a magnetization of a first level, and said second portion having a level of magNetization different than said first portion, said magnetization levels defining magnetic properties wherein bubble domains of different minimum diameters are established therein.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
66 words
A bubble domain structure comprising a single crystal substrate, a film of single crystal magnetic material, said film having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion having a magnetization of a first level, and said second portion having a level of magNetization different than said first portion, said magnetization levels defining magnetic properties wherein bubble domains of different minimum diameters are established therein.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
56 words
A method of forming a bubble domain system comprising the steps of forming a layer of single crystal magnetic material on a suitable substrate such that a first portion thereof has a magnetization characteristic of a first level and a second portion thereof has a magnetization characteristic of a second level different from said first portion.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
56 words
A method of forming a bubble domain system comprising the steps of forming a layer of single crystal magnetic material on a suitable substrate such that a first portion thereof has a magnetization characteristic of a first level and a second portion thereof has a magnetization characteristic of a second level different from said first portion.
