Abstract
A harness is described herein that uses correlated magnets to enable objects to be secured thereto and removed therefrom. Some examples of such a harness include a construction work harness, a soldier harness, an astronaut harness, and a scuba harness (e.g., buoyancy compensator). For instance, the scuba harness can have different types of objects secured thereto and removed therefrom such as a weight pouch, a utility pocket, a dive light (flash light), a camera, a scuba lanyard, a navigation board, a depth gauge, a spear gun, or any type of military equipment.
Claims25
A harness, comprising:
- a vest including a first field emission structure;
- and
- an object including a second field emission structure, where the object is attached to the vest 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 vest, said method comprising the steps of:
- attaching a first field emission structure to the vest;
- attaching a second field emission structure to the object;
- and
- aligning the first and second field emission structures so the object attaches to the vest 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.
