Claim 9:
10. The magnetic assembly of claim 1, wherein:
the plurality of magnets comprises a third magnet positioned adjacent the second magnet, the second magnet having a third surface opposite the second surface and the third magnet having a fourth surface adjacent the third surface, at least one third cavity being formed in the second magnet and extending inward from the third surface and at least one fourth cavity being formed in the third magnet and extending inward from the fourth surface, the third and fourth cavities being aligned along a fourth direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction; and
the magnetic assembly comprises at least one second ferromagnetic pin positioned within the at least one third cavity and the at least one fourth cavity to connect the second magnet and the third magnet, the at least one second ferromagnetic pin having a size, a shape, and a magnetic permeability that facilitate a magnetic force between the third surface and the fourth surface in the fourth direction inducing a magnetic flux path through the at least one second ferromagnetic pin such that an apparent magnetic force in the fourth direction between the third surface and the adjacent fourth surface is one of i) a repelling force less than 5 N and ii) an attracting force.
