Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A magnetic domain memory device including substrates carrying domain materials, and independently energizable drive coils positioned to encompass said substrate for generating magnetic fields whose lines of force are parallel to the surface of said magnetic domain memory device, the improvement wherein: each of said drive coils includes a plurality of individual adjacent conductors, the spacing between the individual conductors gradually increasing as the centerline of the coils is approached from opposite edges of the coil for providing a plateau in the distribution of said magnetic fields, thus maximizing the useful area in said substrate; and said magnetic domain memory device further including means for energizing each of said coils for generating said magnetic fields.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A magnetic domain memory device including substrates carrying domain materials, and independently energizable drive coils positioned to encompass said substrate for generating magnetic fields whose lines of force are parallel to the surface of said magnetic domain memory device, the improvement wherein: each of said drive coils includes a plurality of individual adjacent conductors, the spacing between the individual conductors gradually increasing as the centerline of the coils is approached from opposite edges of the coil for providing a plateau in the distribution of said magnetic fields, thus maximizing the useful area in said substrate; and said magnetic domain memory device further including means for energizing each of said coils for generating said magnetic fields.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
An improved magnetic domain memory device as recited in claim 1 wherein the individual conductors are more widely spaced at the center of the coil than at the edges.
