Abstract
A passive replicator comprising a plurality of elongated bars interposed between an input propagation path and a plurality of output propagation paths.
Claims8
A passive replicator device comprising
- first propagation path means for propagating information therealong in a first direction,
- second and third propagation path means for propagating information therealong,
- said second and third propagation paths disposed adjacent to said first propagation path in order to receive information from said first propagation path such that information is propagated in said first, second and third propagation paths substantially in said first direction,
- said second and third propagation paths having ends thereof substantially adjacent to each other and in substantially parallel arrangement,
- said first propagation path having an end thereof adjacent to said ends of said second and third propagation paths and substantially in abutment therewith,
- a plurality of elongated bars in substantially parallel arrangement,
- said plurality of elongated bars disposed adjacent to said ends of said first, second and third propagation paths,
- an end of at least one of said elongated bars interposed between said end of said first propagation path and the end of at least one of said second and third propagation paths whereby said plurality of elongated bars will receive information propagating along said first propagation path and expand said information to substantially encompass said ends of said second and third propagation paths,
- each of said plurality of elongated bars having length substantially greater than the length of said ends of said first, second and third propagation paths, and
- a cutter bar associated with said elongated bars,
- said cutter bar including an elongated bar having a relatively shorter bar portion disposed at an angle to said elongated bar and projecting between said ends of said second and third propagation paths.

Magnetic apparatus comprising
- a layer of material in which single wall domains can be moved,
- a multistage pattern of devices coupled to said layer and operative responsive to a magnetic field reorienting in the plane of said layer to move domains from stage to stage along a path,
- said pattern defining in a reference stage a linear array of elongated elements forming attracting poles for enlarging said domains laterally with respect to said path,
- said reference stage including an additional element arrangement,
- said additional element arrangement connected to and angularly disposed with respect to one of said elongated elements of said reference stage in a manner to generate an intermediate repelling pole for cutting domains moved from said reference stage to a next subsequent stage.

A passive replicator comprising
- a first propagation path,
- a plurality of substantially linear elongated magnetizable elements disposed adjacent to said first propagation path and at an angle therewith in order to receive and expand a magnetic bubble domain therefrom,
- second and third propagation paths adjacent to said plurality of elements to receive portions of an expanded bubble therefrom, and
- a relatively short element angularly connected to at least one of said elongated elements and interposed between said second and third propagation paths to selectively provide a magnetic pole which severs an expanded bubble domain into at least two separate domains which are received by said second and third propagation paths, respectively.
