Multilevel correlated magnetic system and method for using the same
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A multilevel correlated magnetic system, comprising:
- a first correlated magnetic structure including a first portion which has a plurality of coded magnetic sources and a second portion which has one or more magnetic sources;
a second correlated magnetic structure including a first portion which has a plurality of complementary coded magnetic sources and a second portion which has one or more magnetic sources;
wherein the first correlated magnetic structure is aligned with the second correlated magnetic structure such that the first portions and the second portions are respectively located across from one another; and
a tool that applies a bias magnet field to cause a transition of the first and second magnetic structures from a closed state in which the first and second magnetic structures are attached to an open state in which the first and second magnetic structures are separated.
