Geller Experiments have been performed with different types of magnets to determine their effects on the information stored on magnetic storage media. The test results that were obtained with recorded computer tapes are discussed and guidelines are suggested to computer installation managers for protecting their recorded tapes ^ disks and drums against unwarranted erasure by magnetic fields. The effects of other forms of energy on recorded magnetic media are briefly considered.

INTRODUCTION Magnetic storage media have become indispensible to data pro- cessing operations in industry and in government. Magnetic tapes, disks and drums are used to store voluminous quantities of data on both a temporary and an archival basis. Unfortunately, data in magnetic form can be altered or destroyed by devices that are able to exert magnetic forces on the surfaces of these media. Such destructive action can be either intentional or unintentional. The most effective and insidious of the destructive devices is the simple permanent magnet which can produce powerful erasing fields and is easily obtained, carried and concealed. In addition, it requires no external power sources for producing or maintaining its fields. This first report deals primarily with the effects of permanent magnets on the recorded information on magnetic computer tapes. The results of this study are directly applicable to the other magnetic surface devices such as disks and drums. The study also discusses both the capabilities and limitations of the permanent magnet and the electromagnet as destructive devices.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Interface Engineering of Voltage-Controlled Embedded Magnetic Random Access Memory A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering by Xiang Li 2018 © Copyright by Xiang Li 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Interface Engineering of Voltage-Controlled Embedded Magnetic Random Access Memory by Xiang Li Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Kang Lung Wang, Chair Magnetic memory that utilizes spin to store information has become one of the most promising candidates for next-generation non-volatile memory. Electric-field-assisted writing of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) that exploits the voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) effect offers great potential for high density and low power memory applications. This emerging Magnetoelectric Random Access Memory (MeRAM) based on the VCMA effect has been investigated due to its lower switching current, compared with traditional current-controlled devices utilizing spin transfer torque (STT) or spin-orbit torque (SOT) for magnetization switching. It is of great promise to integrate MeRAM into the advanced CMOS back-end-of-line (BEOL) processes for on-chip embedded applications, and enable non-volatile electronic systems with low static power dissipation and instant-on operation capability. To achieve the full potential of MeRAM, it is critical to design magnetic materials with high voltage-induced ii writing efficiency, i.e. VCMA coefficient, to allow for low write energy, low write error rate, and high density MeRAM at advanced nodes. In this dissertation, we will first discuss the advantage of MeRAM over other memory technologies with a focus on array-level memory performance, system-level 3D integration, and scaling at advanced nodes.

    Trinity Church in the City of Boston The Rev. Morgan S. Allen October 25, 2020 II Stewardship, Matthew 22:34-46 Come Holy Spirit, and enkindle in the hearts of your faithful, the fire of your Love. Amen. Stephin Merritt and Claudia Gonson spent the summer of 1983 sitting on “The Wall,” the red brick relief behind the Harvard Square subway station. Merritt, a graduate of The Cambridge School of Weston, met Gonson, a Concord Academy graduate, during their high-school years.i The pair first bonded over Gonson’s David Bowie Songbook for the piano, beginning a four- decade musical partnership, most notably in the band, The Magnetic Fields. In Strange Powers, a 2010 documentary about Merritt and the group, Gonson recalls of that summer: “We would sit there on ‘The Wall’ with many punk rockers of varying types of mohawk length … kids whose names were like, ‘Toby Skinhead,’ and ‘Phlegm.’ Complete freedom, total vagrancy – it was awesome.”ii Despite these fond roots, The Magnetic Fields’ music does not neatly fit a punk’s jambox, and neither does Merritt’s unconventional, often sardonic verse rest easy in effete prep school classrooms. The band’s primary live instruments include piano, ukulele, cello, and banjo, and their studio albums incorporate unusual noisemakers (kitchen whisks and frog-callers, among others) and long-unfashionable electronica sounds.iii Yet, sometimes, their quirk, cleverness, and brilliance, click. For my ear and heart, this happens most often in their musically sparest and lyrically simplest efforts, and my favorite of their catalogue borrows on that most common of song titles: “The Book of Love.” In a deep, unemotive baritone, Merritt imagines what sort of tome that compendium would be.iv He sings: The book of love is long and boring [And] No one can liFt the … thing It’s full of charts, and facts and figures, and instructions for dancing.

Three sets of permanent magnets (PMs) are placed on the two stators and the rotor, respectively, and the magnetic fields excited by these PMs are modulated to effective magnetic field harmonics with low pole-pair numbers and high speeds based on bi-directional field modulation effect of the non-uniform airgap permeance. Then two sets of armature windings respectively accommodated in two stators are designed according to the effective magnetic field harmonics, thus achieving the coupling between the PM magnetic fields produced by three sets of PMs and armature windings. Firstly, the topology of the TPMEV-DS machine is introduced. Secondly, the airgap flux density of the machine is analyzed based on the equivalent magnetic circuit method, which proves the improvement potentiality of power density and torque density due to the bi-directional field modulation effect.
