1. A magnetic attachment system, comprising:
- a first magnetic field structure comprising three or more stripes of magnetic field sources having a first pattern of different widths and different polarities; and
a second magnetic field structure comprising three or more stripes of magnetic field sources having a second pattern of different widths and different polarities, said first magnetic field structure being complementary to said second magnetic field structure, said first magnetic structure being moveable relative to said second magnetic structure across an interface boundary and producing a peak attractive force when in an alignment position relative to said second magnetic field structure and producing a plurality of off-peak attractive forces when in a plurality of misalignment positions relative to said second magnetic structure, where each of said plurality of off-peak attractive forces is the result of cancellation of an attract force by a repel force.

Abstract
An improved field emission system and method is provided that involves field emission structures having electric or magnetic field sources. The magnitudes, polarities, and positions of the magnetic or electric field sources are configured to have desirable correlation properties, which may be in accordance with a code. The correlation properties correspond to a desired spatial force function where spatial forces between field emission structures correspond to relative alignment, separation distance, and the spatial force function.
