Abstract
A suit is described herein which incorporates correlated magnets that enable an object (e.g., tool equipment bag, hood, glove, boot, flipper) to be secured thereto and removed therefrom. Some examples of such a suit include a scuba suit, a construction suit, a bio-hazard suit, a medical suit, a fire fighter suit, and an astronaut suit.
Claims23
A suit comprising:
- a protective material including a first field emission structure, and
- an object including a second field emission structure, where the object is attached to the protecting material 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 a plurality of 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.
A method for enabling an object to be attached to and removed from a suit, said method comprising the steps of:
- attaching a first field emission structure to the suit;
- attaching a second field emission structure to the object;
- and
- aligning the first and second field emission structures so the object attaches to the suit when the first and second field emission structures are located next to one another, where each of the first and second field emission structures include a plurality of 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.
1 more element
A suit adapted to have an object secured thereto and the object removed therefrom, said suit comprising:
- a protective material;
- and
- a first field emission structure attached to said protective material, said first field emission structure interacting with a second field emission structure associated with the object, where the object is attached to the protecting material 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 the object is released from the protective material when the first field emission structure and the second field emission structures are turned with respect to one another, where each of the first and second field emission structures include a plurality of field emission sources having positions and a 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.
