Patent ID: 7843296

Claim:
A method for attaching a panel to a support and releasing said panel from said support comprising: arranging a first plurality of magnetic field components according to a first magnetic field component pattern to produce a first magnet structure; arranging a second plurality of magnetic field components according to a complementary magnetic field component pattern to generate a complementary magnet structure; said first magnet structure and said complementary magnet structure having a unique alignment configuration, and said first magnet structure and said complementary magnet structure having a release configuration realized by movement of said first magnet structure or said complementary magnet structure from said alignment configuration to said release configuration; attaching said first magnet structure to said panel; attaching said complementary magnet structure to said support; moving said panel to a proximal position relative to said support to allow alignment of said first magnet structure with said complementary magnet structure to attach said panel to said support by magnetic attraction of said first magnet structure to said complementary magnet structure; and releasing said panel by moving said first magnet structure or said complementary magnet structure to said release configuration, further including the step of: determining said first magnetic field component pattern based on a random or pseudorandom code, wherein the step of determining said first magnetic field component pattern includes the step of: determining a spacing from each magnetic field component to another magnetic field component of said first magnetic field component pattern according to said random or pseudorandom code.
