System and method for moving an object

A method for moving an object;

• comprising the steps of:
• associating a first magnetic structure with a first object;
• associating a second magnetic structure with a second object, said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure having a spatial force function in accordance with a code;
• achieving complementary alignment and peak correlation of said first magnetic structure with said second magnetic structure to produce a peak tensile force enabling magnetic attachment of said first object to said second object, said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure also producing a shear force;
• and
• moving said second object by moving said first object, said shear force preventing misalignment and decorrelation of said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure until an amount of torque greater than a torque threshold is applied to said first object, wherein the code corresponds to a code modulo of the first magnetic structure and a complementary code modulo of the second magnetic structure, the code defines a peak spatial force corresponding to substantial alignment of the code modulo of the first magnetic structure with the complementary code modulo of the second magnetic structure, the code also defines a plurality of off peak spatial forces corresponding to a plurality of different misalignments of the code modulo of the first magnetic structure and the complementary code modulo of the second magnetic structure, the plurality of off peak spatial forces having a largest off peak spatial force, and the largest off peak spatial force is less than half of the peak spatial force.

A system for moving an object;

• comprising:
• a first magnetic structure associated with a first object, said first magnetic structure comprising a first plurality of magnetic sources having a first polarity pattern;
• and
• a second magnetic structure associated with a second object, said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure having a spatial force function in accordance with a code, said second magnetic structure comprising a second plurality of magnetic sources having a second polarity pattern that is the mirror image of said first polarity pattern, said first magnetic structure with said second magnetic structure being in a complementary alignment resulting in a peak correlation and producing a peak tensile force enabling magnetic attachment of said first object to said second object, said complementary alignment being when each magnetic source of said first plurality of magnetic sources having a first polarity is aligned with a corresponding magnetic source of said second plurality of magnetic sources having a second polarity that is opposite said first polarity and each magnetic source of said first plurality of magnetic sources having said second polarity is aligned with a corresponding magnetic source of said second plurality of magnetic sources having said first polarity, said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure also producing a shear force that prevents misalignment and decorrelation of said first magnetic structure and said second magnetic structure until an amount of torque greater than a torque threshold is applied to said first object.
