The Iron curtain, a batch-fabricated storage array

The iron curtain is a new type of batch-fabricated storage array. The wiring of this array is made from insulated copper wires, covered with a thermobonding lacquer: These wires are glued together by heating, resulting in a wire screen made of one piece. Next the wiring is soldered in a frame and covered with a ferromagnetic metallic layer. Depending on the type of wiring, one obtains an iron curtain with core-type elements (CIC) or one with biax-type elements (BIC). The CIC can be operated in 2 or 21/2 D. The BIC is a word-organized element array and is operated in the flux-tipping mode. Typical outputs are between 5 and 10 mV.
