Magnetic translators

Claim 1

A MAGNETIC TRANSLATION DEVICE COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF SWITCHABLE MAGNETIC CORES, A BIAS WIRE THREADING ALL OF SAID CORES TO PROVIDE ON EACH CORE A SINGLE TURN WINDING FOR MAGNETICALLY SATURATING THE CORE IN ONE DIRECTION, THE MAGNETIC SATURATION OF ALL THE CORES BEING IN THE SAME DIRECTION, A PLURALITY OF INPUT WIRES ARRANGED IN GROUPS OF A PREDETERMINED NUMBER AND THREADING SELECTED CORES AND BY-PASSING THE REMAINING CORES IN SUCH MANNER THAT EACH CORE IS THREADED BY ONLY ONE INPUT WIRE OF EACH GROUP OF INPUT WIRES AND EVERY CORE IS THREADED BY A DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE COMBINATION OF INPUT WIRES, THE SAID INPUT WIRES THREADING THE SAID SELECTED CORES IN ONE AND THE SAME DIRECTION TO PROVIDE ON EACH CORE SINGLE TURN WINDINGS EACH OF WHICH IS ADAPTED TO PRODUCE A MAGNETIC FLUX OPPOSED TO THAT PRODUCED BY THE BIAS WIRE, MEANS FOR APPLYING A FIRST ELECTRIC POTENTIAL TO THE BIAS WIRE TO CONTINUOUSLY MAGNETICALLY SATURATE THE CORES IN THE SAID FIRST-MENTIONED ONE DIRECTION, MEANS FOR APPLYING A SECOND ELECTRIC POTENTIAL SIMULTANEOUSLY TO A COMBINATION OF INPUT WIRES FORMED BY ONE INPUT WIRE SELECTED FROM EACH GROUP OF INPUT WIRES FOR MAGNETIZING THE CORES IN THE DIRECTION OPPOSITE TO SAID FIRST MENTIONED ONE DIRECTION AND EFFECTIVE TO CAUSE REVERSAL OF MAGNETISM IN THE ONE CORE THROUGH WHICH ALL THE SAID SELECTED INPUT WIRES ARE THREADED BUT INEFFECTIVE TO CAUSE REVERSAL OF MAGNETISM IN A CORE HAVING THREADED THERETHROUGTH ONE LESS THAN THE SAID COMBINATION OF INPUT WIRES, A PLURALITY OF OUTPUT WIRES THREADED THROUGH SAID CORES, EACH WIRE THREADED THROUGH SELECTED CORES AND BY-PASSING OTHER CORES, EACH CORE BEING THREADED BY AT LEAST ONE OUTPUT WIRE, AND A PLURALITY OF OUTPUT CIRCUITS LESS IN NUMBER THAN THE NUMBER OF CORES AND CONNECTED TO SAID OUTPUT WIRES BY THE REVERSAL OF MAGNETISM IN SAID ONE CORE FOR GIVING A REQUIRED TRANSLATION OF THE NUMBER REPRESENTED BY THE SAID COMBINATION OF INPUT WIRES.
