Abstract
A memory device utilizing magnetic bubbles which are driven by a rotary magnetic field on contiguous disc drive patterns. These disc patterns have mainly a first scale. Each drive pattern also comprises a further disc pattern of a substantially larger scale. These further disc patterns each time comprise an excitation loop. These loops are mutually staggered with respect to the phase of the rotary field and are electrically connected in series. The series connection can be excited during relevant phases of the rotary magnetic field in order to selectively process a bubble then present in a locally formed preferred position from among the magnetic bubbles present on the larger disc patterns. The processing operation may be generating, detecting and annihilating bubbles.
