Catherine Margaret Walker Pot

Title: Catherine Margaret Walker Pot and Magnetic Data Storage Innovation.

Introduction

Catherine Margaret Walker Pot is an inventor associated with Wellington, New Zealand. Her patent work concerns a switchable magnetic device designed for data storage, using layered rare-earth nitride alloys to create distinct magnetic states.

Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Pot: “Switchable magnetic device or dot for data storage.” The invention describes two ferromagnetic layers, each made from a rare-earth nitride alloy containing at least two lanthanide species, with a blocking layer between them. Because the ferromagnetic layers have different coercive fields, their magnetic alignments can be controlled independently. Their remanent magnetic moments are designed to confine the peripheral magnetic field in the anti-aligned state, allowing the device to produce contrasting fields in aligned and anti-aligned states. The supplied data identifies Pot as having 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Pot is associated with Victoria Link Limited, trading as Wellington Univentures. The available information connects her patent activity with magnetic materials and data-storage technology.

Collaborations

The supplied information names Harry Joseph Trodahl and William Freeman Holmes-Hewett as Pot’s coworkers. Their names are provided as collaborators, though specific roles in the patent are not detailed.

Conclusion

Catherine Margaret Walker Pot’s listed patent presents a layered magnetic device intended to distinguish data states through controlled magnetic alignment and confined peripheral fields.
