Abstract

A method is described herein for detachment of two objects. The method comprising the steps of: (a) associating a bias field source with a first magnetic structure associated with a first object, the first magnetic structure comprising one or more magnetic field sources, the first magnetic structure being magnetically attached to a second magnetic structure associated with a second object, the second magnetic structure comprising one or more magnetic field sources; and (b) using the bias field source to produce a repel force large enough to cause detachment of the first magnetic structure from the second magnetic structure thereby causing detachment of the first object from the second object.
