Abstract

841,619. Circuits employing bi-stable magnetic elements. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Aug. 13, 1956 [Aug. 16, 1955], No. 24662/56. Class 40 (9). [Also in Group XIX] Each storage core S of a shift register is coupled by a loop 10, 12, 13, to two auxiliary cores T which provide transformer coupling with the preceding and following stages. In the register of Fig. 1 pulse generators A, B, C, and D produce pulses in the sequence shown in Fig. 2. It is assumed that all cores except S1 are in a zero remanence state, S1 being in a one state, and that current entering a core winding at its dotted end tends to shift the core to a zero state. From time t1 current IA shifts core S1 from one to zero and current induced in winding 10 shifts core T2 to a one state. Current induced in winding 13 of core T2 tends to switch cores S2 and T3 to one states but the coercive force of T3 is not overcome and only S2 switches to a one state. After time t2 current IC flows to reset core T2 to zero and currents are induced in the windings 12 and 13 which do not affect the state of cores T1 and T3 but tend to switch cores S1 and S2 from their respective zero and one states. As the current IA continues throughout the duration of the IC current, core S1 is not switched and as the rate at which T2 is restored is kept low the coercive force of core S2 is not overcome so that S2 is not switched either. By time t3, therefore, the one state of S1 has been transferred to S2. The subsequent current pulses IB and ID transfer the one state of S2 to S3 and core T3 is set back to zero by time t6. Cores S must be of rectangular hysteresis material but cores T need not be so but if they are the reset windings 14 connected to sources C and D may be connected in a single series circuit. In place of being pulsed the cores T may be reset by a continuous D.C. bias. To increase the coercive force presented by the cores S so as to increase the rate at which the T cores may be reset, a bias may be applied to the S cores. If the IA and IB pulses are applied as shown in Fig. 6 only one winding is needed on each S core. Specifications 777,519 and 828,708 are referred to.
