Flow on Magnetizable Particles in Turbulent Air Streams
The flow of magnetizable particles in a turbulent air stream in the presence of an imposed magnetic field and the phenomenon of drag reduction produced by the introduction of particles in turbulent boundary layer are investigated. The nature of the particle magnetic force is discussed and the inherent difference between electric and magnetic precipitation is considered. The incorporation of turbulent diffusion theory with an imposed magnetic migration process both with and without inertia effects is examined.

High speed magneto-resistive random access memory
A high speed read MRAM memory element is configured from a sandwich of magnetizable, ferromagnetic film surrounding a magneto-resistive film which may be ferromagnetic or not. One outer ferromagnetic film has a higher coercive force than the other and therefore remains magnetized in one sense while the other may be switched in sense by a switching magnetic field. The magneto-resistive film is therefore sensitive to the amplitude of the resultant field between the outer ferromagnetic films and may be constructed of a high resistivity, high magneto-resistive material capable of higher sensing currents. This permits higher read voltages and therefore faster read operations. Alternate embodiments with perpendicular anisotropy, and in-plane anisotropy are shown, including an embodiment which uses high permeability guides to direct the closing flux path through the magneto-resistive material. High density, high speed, radiation hard, memory matrices may be constructed from these memory elements.

Propulsion simulator for magnetically-suspended wind tunnel models
In order to demonstrate the measurement of aerodynamic forces/moments, including the effects of exhaust jets in Magnetic Suspension and Balance System (MSBS) wind tunnels, two propulsion simulator models were developed at Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI). Both the small-scale model (1 in. diameter X 8 in. long) and the large-scale model (2.5 in. diameter X 15 in. long) employed compressed, liquefied carbon dioxide as a propellant. The small-scale simulator, made from a highly magnetizable iron alloy, was demonstrated in the 7 in. MSBS wind tunnel at the University of Southampton. It developed a maximum thrust of approximate 1.3 lbf with a 0.098 in. diameter nozzle and 0.7 lbf with a 0.295 in. diameter nozzle. The Southampton MSBS was able to control the simulator at angles-of attack up to 20 deg. The large-scale simulator was demonstrated to operate in both a steady-state and a pulse mode via a miniaturized solinoid valve. It developed a stable and repeatable thrust of 2.75 lbf over a period of 4s and a nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) of 5.

Properties of Vector Preisach Models
This paper discusses rotational anisotropy and rotational accommodation of magnetic particle tape. These effects have a performance impact during the reading and writing of the recording process. We introduce the reduced vector model as the basis for the computations. Rotational magnetization models must accurately compute the anisotropic characteristics of ellipsoidally magnetizable media. An ellipticity factor is derived for these media that computes the two-dimensional magnetization trajectory for all applied fields. An orientation correction must be applied to the computed rotational magnetization. For isotropic materials, an orientation correction has been developed and presented. For anisotropic materials, an orientation correction is introduced.

Magnetohydrodynamic and Paramagnetic Phenomena in Electrochemistry with Diamagnetic and Ferromagnetic Millielectrodes
There are three kinds of body forces operating in electrolytic solutions in the magnetic field: the magnetohydrodynamic force F(sub B) (=i x B), the F(sub delB) force (approximately B(raised dot)gradB) and the F(sub delC) force (approximately |B|(sup 2)gradC). These three forces manifest themselves differently, depending on the experimental conditions. Thus, diamagnetic disc millielectrodes (e.g., Au) with their plane parallel to the flux density of the homogeneous magnetic field of an electromagnet yield convective behavior analogous to that observed with rotating electrodes; that response is controlled by F(sub B). The same electrodes placed in the inhomogeneous field of a strong permanent magnet yield also convective behavior that is controlled by both F(sub B) and F(sub delB). Finally, similarly sized millielectrodes made of permanent magnets (e.g., Au-coated Nd-Fe-B discs) yield diffusion-controlled behavior at conditions where a gold disc electrode shows behavior dominated by density gradient driven natural convection; in this case the predominant forces are both F(sub delB) and F(sub delC). Under open circuit conditions, ferromagnetic (i.e., magnetizable) millielectrodes (Co, Fe, Ni) dipped in corrosive solutions and placed in homogeneous magnetic fields yield mass-transfer phenomena that seem to be controlled by magnetophoresis.
