Decoder for a Parallel Binary Code,

Decoders for the parallel binary code on the magnetic circuit of complex configuration with a right-angle hysteresis loop are known. Each left-hand bar carries an input winding of one of the decoded code N digits. A signal corresponding to the presence of a one in the respective digit is applied to it. The cross-sectional areas of the input bars vary in accordance with the weights of the binary system digits given. The number of right-hand bars is equal to that of the decoder outputs, as a zero combination of the input signals does not have a special output. The cross-sections of all right-hand bars are the same and equal to that of the bar carrying the lowest binary digit winding. The cross-section areas of the two horizontal bars are given. Each of the output windings embraces in opposite senses two adjacent bars. The output winding on the extreme right-hand bar is an exception. Author
