Patent ID: 8410881

Claim:
A system related to the integration of at least one friction-type sheet-handling device to enable magnetization of at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material, during movement of the at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material along at least one transport path of the at least one friction-type sheet-handling device, said system comprising: a) at least one magnetic field source structured and arranged to generate at least one magnetic field usable to magnetize the at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material; and b) at least one positioner structured and arranged to situate said at least one magnetic field source in at least one position producing at least one magnetic-field interaction between the at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material and such at least one magnetic field as the at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material moves along the at least one transport path of the at least one friction-type sheet-handling device; c) wherein the at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material may be permanently magnetized by such at least one magnetic-field interaction.
