Abstract:
1. A system for securing an object to a surface in a vehicle, comprising: a first magnetic field emission structure associated with said surface; and a second magnetic field emission structure associated with said object, said first and second magnetic field emission structures being configured with complementary magnetic field sources arranged such that a peak spatial attracting force is generated when said second magnetic field emission structure is brought into substantial complementary alignment with said first magnetic field emission structure thereby securing said object to said surface, where each of said first and second magnetic field emission structures comprise an array of field emission sources each having positions and polarities relating to a spatial force function that corresponds to a relative alignment of the first and second magnetic field emission structures within a field domain, said spatial force function being in accordance with a code, said code corresponding to a code modulo of said first magnetic field emission structure and a complementary code modulo of said second magnetic field emission structure, said code defining a peak spatial force corresponding to substantial alignment of said code modulo of said first magnetic field emission structure with said complementary code modulo of said second magnetic field emission structure, said code also defining a plurality of off peak spatial forces corresponding to a plurality of different misalignments of said code modulo of said first magnetic field emission structure and said complementary code modulo of said second magnetic field emission structure, each of said plurality of off peak spatial forces being less than half of said peak spatial force.
