Abstract

An expander-detector arrangement for a conductor-access, magnetic bubble memory is realized by the inclusion in an electrically-conducting layer in which bubble propagation currents are impressed sets of apertures operative to enlarge a bubble laterally. For this purpose increasingly greater numbers of apertures are arranged laterally with respect to the axis of bubble movement through successive stages of the expander-detector arrangement. The actual detector is formed at the stage including the maximum number of apertures.
