Bx106 is an elementary Herschel conduit. It was discovered in the form of an Fx119-based Herschel duplicator (full technical name Bx106_Fx119) with repeat time 98 by Luka Okanishi on April 13, 2016.[1] In the infobox pattern, two ghost Herschels mark the output locations.
As a duplicator, the Fx119 Herschel output must attach to a dependent conduit, as shown in the infobox with an example F166. Conversely, the other Bx106 Herschel output must attach to an independent conduit, as the first natural glider is required to delete a leftover boat.
The duplicator 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 in early 2015.
If the Fx119 output is not needed, it can be suppressed as in Fx119 inserter. Other pure Bx106 conduits with different FNG-cleaning mechanisms and additional gliders have also been found.[3]
