A logical operation circuit for performing a desired logical operation by transferring at least one magnetic bubble on a plurality of magnetic bubble transfer routes paths employing chevron patterns, in which two neighboring ones of the magnetic bubble transfer routes provides with a first magnetic bubble transfer section which is formed by narrowed transfer routes or by magnetic bubble elongating means, so that a magnetic bubble transferred through one of the two magnetic bubble transfer routes is stably held across the two magnetic bubble transfer routes of the first magnetic bubble transfer section, while two magnetic bubbles transferred through the two magnetic bubble transfer routes on the two magnetic bubble transfer routes respectively. A second magnetic bubble transfer section formed by enlarging the space between the two neighboring magnetic bubble transfer routes along the transmission direction of said magnetic bubble is provided in which the magnetic bubble having passed through the first magnetic bubble transfer section is elongated in such a state as resting across both of the two magnetic bubble transfer routes, while the two magnetic bubbles are held on the enlarged two neighboring magnetic bubble transfer routes respectively. The magnetic bubble or bubbles be derived from at least one of the two magnetic bubble transfer routes or from another magnetic bubble transfer route coupled with the elongated magnetic bubble as a logical output corresponding to a desired logical operation with respect to the state of input of the magnetic bubble to the two magnetic bubble transfer routes.

A character pattern recognition method and apparatus for recognizing an unknown character pattern in accordance with a correlation between the unknown character pattern and each known standard character pattern, in which the unknown character pattern is temporarily stored in a magnetic thin plate in a form of a magnetic domain pattern. The magnetic domain pattern is modified by varying the bias magnetic field on the magnetic thin plate to provide a modified unknown character pattern emphasizing the feature of the unknown character pattern stored in the magnetic thin plate. The modified unknown character pattern is compared with each known modified feature enhanced standard character pattern to obtain the correlation.

Character pattern recognition method and apparatus using feature

A magnetic bubble transmission system in which a magnetic bubble is retained in a magnetic thin plate under an appropriate bias magnetic field applied to said magnetic thin plate in a direction perpendicular thereto and in which said magnetic bubble is transmitted by reducing and restoring the intensity of the bias magnetic field. A single conductor line is disposed in close contact with the magnetic thin plate. Magnetic patterns magnetostatically coupling with the magnetic bubble are disposed along the conductor to develop at least one desired transmission path of the magnetic bubble line in such a manner that their width are monotoneously reduced at regular intervals in the desired transmission path of the magnetic bubble. The intensity of the bias magnetic field in the area extending along said conductor line is reduced and restored by a pulse current flowed in the conductor line. The transmission step of the magnetic bubble can be controlled by changing the level of the pulse current.
