Patent ID: 7728706

Claim:
A system related to magnetization of at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material having at least one pre-printed face surface, and at least one opposite face surface, said system comprising: a) at least one first magnetic field source structured and arranged to produce at least one first magnetic field; b) at least one second magnetic field source structured and arranged to produce at least one second magnetic field; and c) at least one geometric positioner structured and arranged to geometrically position said at least one first magnetic field source and said at least one second magnetic field source to generate at least one first high-flux field region resulting from at least one magnetic-field interaction between said at least one first magnetic field and said at least one second magnetic field; d) wherein said at least one first high-flux field region is situate substantially between said at least one first magnetic field source and said at least one second magnetic field source; e) wherein said at least one geometric positioner comprises at least one passage structured and arranged to allow moving passage of the substantially flexible magnetizable material through said at least one first high-flux field region; f) wherein said at least one second magnetic field source is structured and arranged to physically contact at least one opposite face surface during passage of the at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material through said at least one first high-flux field region; and g) wherein said at least one first magnetic field source is structured and arranged to avoid physical contact with the at least one pre-printed face surface during passage of the at least one substantially planar sheet of substantially flexible magnetizable material through said at least one first high-flux field region.
