Abstract
A switching device structure having a top layer and a bottom layer, each layer comprising a body of magnetizable material, such as permalloy, disposed within a coil wherein an armature is suspended in a cavity between the top and bottom layers, the armature having ferromagnetic material disposed on a top and bottom surface thereof. Each body of magnetizable material may be pulsed by its respective coil to switch it from a magnetic state to a non-magnetic state and then subsequently pulsed by the coil to switch it from the non-magnetic state to a magnetic state.
