Abstract

There is herein described a Transmedian Storage and Transfer Device (TSTD) that will provide a more useful system for information storage, retrieval, and computation. This is achieved by increasing the speed and storage capacity beyond that provided by existing computers and related systems. To obtain these benefits, the TSTD utilizes a spherical surface for information storage along with a system detector that can be point-like, line-like, or spherical. Further more, multiple spheres can be incorporated into the TSTD thus resulting in a sphere matrix.

Claims

1. A method for data storage and retrieval using a sphere and detector wherein the following is required;

d. a sphere with an external detector;

e. the above mentioned sphere is made up of a material that stores data and can be manipulated within a magnetic field or by other mechanical or electrical means;

f. the detector can be a line, pulse, point, spherical, or multiple that can convert light or other energy to electrical pulses that can be interpreted by a computer or other device as data or code.
