Patent ID: 8016330

Claim:
A correlated magnet lock comprising: a first correlated magnet securely attachable to a first location on a first object and a second correlated magnet that is complementary to said first correlated magnet and securely attachable to either a second location on said first object or a second object, said first correlated magnet being capable of being aligned with said second correlated magnet such that said first and second correlated magnets produce an attractive force that secures said first location on said first object either to said second location on said first object or to said second object, said attractive force being a peak spatial force of a spatial force function, said spatial force function corresponding to a code modulo defined by a code, said code modulo defining said peak spatial force and a plurality of off peak spatial forces, said plurality of off peak spatial forces having a largest off peak spatial force, said largest off peak spatial force being less than half of the peak spatial force.
