G11C 11/02

using magnetic elements

Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Digital stores characterised by the use of particular electric or magnetic storage elements; Storage elements therefor > using magnetic elements

CPC:

Digital stores characterised by the use of particular electric or magnetic storage elements; Storage elements therefor (G11C14/00 - G11C21/00 take precedence) > using magnetic elements

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 7 subcodes exist in both systems.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
