Patent ID: 8410882

Claim:
A magnetic attachment system, comprising: a first magnetic structure comprising a first linear sequence of three or more magnetic sources in a first polarity pattern; and a second magnetic structure comprising a second linear sequence of three or more magnetic sources in a second polarity pattern, said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure being in a straight line and being separated by a spacing, wherein said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure produce a peak attractive force when said magnetic attachment system is aligned across an interface boundary with a second magnetic attachment system having a third magnetic structure and a fourth magnetic structure that are complementary to said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure, wherein said first linear sequence of three or more magnetic sources comprises magnets having different widths, wherein said second linear sequence of three or more magnetic sources comprises magnets having different widths, wherein said first magnetic structure produces a magnetic field in accordance with a Barker 4 code, wherein said second magnetic structure produces a magnetic field in accordance with a Barker 4 code.
