Claim 12:
13. A system comprising:
an element comprising a plurality of electrical circuits and a first electromagnetic connector configured to form a first magnetic circuit portion, the first electromagnetic connector comprising a first core member and at least one coil disposed about the first core member, the at least one coil configured to connect to an electrical circuit;
a backplane comprising a second electromagnetic connector, the second electromagnetic connector configured to form a second magnetic circuit portion, the second electromagnetic connector comprising a second core member and at least one coil disposed about the second core member; and
a hub formed by mating the first electromagnetic connector with the second electromagnetic connector, the first core member and the second core member configured to couple the at least one coil of the element to the at least one coil of the backplane with a magnetic circuit formed from the first magnetic circuit portion and the second magnetic circuit portion when the first electromagnetic connector is mated with the second electromagnetic connector, at least one of the at least one coil of the element or the at least one coil of the backplane comprising a second coil, the magnetic circuit configured to induce a signal in the at least one coil of the element and the at least one coil of the backplane when the second coil is energized.
