1. A toy comprising:
- a first toy part that incorporates a first field emission structure; and
a second toy part that incorporates a second field emission structure, where the first toy part is attached to the second toy part when the first and second field emission structures are located next to one another and have a certain alignment with respect to one another, where each of the first and second field emission structures include field emission sources having positions and polarities relating to a desired spatial force function that corresponds to a relative alignment of the first and second field emission structures within a field domain.

Abstract
A toy is described herein that is made from correlated magnetic toy parts (e.g., toy building blocks) which have an ingenious coupling means that enable the correlated magnetic toy parts to be attached to or released from one another. The correlated magnetic toy parts could have many different shapes and can be attached to one another to form an abstract shaped toy or a predetermined shaped toy.

24. A method for enabling a user to form a toy by attaching one or more toy parts to one another, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a first toy part that incorporates a first field emission structure; providing a second toy part that incorporates a second field emission structure; and aligning the first toy part with the second toy part such that the first toy part will be attached to the second toy part when the first and second field emission structures are located next to one another and have a certain alignment with respect to one another, where each of the first and second field emission structures include field emission sources having positions and polarities relating to a desired spatial force function that corresponds to a relative alignment of the first and second field emission structures within a field domain. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
