Claim Text:
1. An apparatus including pairable devices, comprising: a first device comprising a first inductive element and a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element positioned on opposing sides of the first inductive element, each of the first and second magnetic elements having a north pole and a second pole, the north and south poles of the first magnetic element defining a first line parallel to an axis defined by coils of the first inductive element and the north and south poles of the second magnetic element defining a second line parallel to the axis defined b the coils of the first inductive element, with positions of the north and south soles of the first magnetic element being reversed with respect to the north and south poles of the second magnetic element; a second device comprising a second inductive element and a third magnetic element and a fourth magnetic element, the third magnetic element and the fourth magnetic element positioned on opposing sides of the second inductive element, each of the third and fourth magnetic elements having a north and a south pole, the north and south poles of the third magnetic element defining a third line parallel to an axis of coils of the second inductive element and the north and south poles of the fourth magnetic element defining a fourth line parallel to the axis defined by coils of the second inductive element, with positions of the north and south poles of the third magnetic element being reversed with respect to the north and south poles of the fourth magnetic element, the first device being paired to the second device when the first magnetic element and the third magnetic element are aligned such that they are opposing each other, the first inductive element and the second inductive element being positioned to allow for inductive coupling when the first device is paired to the second device.
