Bx106

Bx106 is an elementary Herschel duplicator with repeat time 98, discovered by Luka Okanishi on April 13, 2016.[1] The orientations of its two outputs are Fx and Bx, so its full technical name is Bx106_Fx119.

If it is not suppressed, the Fx119 Herschel output must attach to a dependent conduit, as shown in the infobox with an example F166. Conversely, the other Herschel output must attach to an independent conduit, as the first natural glider is required to delete a leftover boat.

In the infobox pattern, two ghost Herschels mark the output locations.

This pattern was a considerable improvement on previous known Spartan technology for duplicating Herschel signals, most of which involved variants of a Silver G-to-H or Callahan G-to-H. Even non-Spartan Herschel duplication had been fairly slow and consumed a lot of time and space and half a dozen stages[2], until the discovery of the syringe early in 2015.
