Ib read a digital magnetically stored data stream from tape or disk a three-valued magnetic field flipflop sensor is presented which uses the metastability property of a stochastic flip-flop sensor to detect signal transitions. The metastable operation point can be controlled to optimize data readout for data and track detection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
