Abstract: A self-packaged magnetic tool assembly for use in picking up or lifting metallic objects includes integrally assembled protective components which also serve as retail packaging, to facilitate retail sales without the need for any extraneous or temporary packaging. In one embodiment, the magnetic tool assembly has a permanently charged elongated rectangular-shaped magnet encased by two ferrous metal side plates along a length of the magnet, and a single non-magnetic stainless steel plate connecting the two side plates. The ferrous metal side plates act as the north and south poles of the magnet assembly.

The magnet and metal plates are encased in a protective cover on all but the primary attracting surfaces of the magnet and the side plates, thereby reducing unwanted magnetic attraction to other surfaces of the tool.

Abstract: Ferromagnetic material of an elongated object, such as a fiber optic cable, is permanently magnetized in a manner that results in a substantially cylindrically symmetric radial external magnetic field around the object. The produced magnetization is substantially greater than natural magnetization of the ferromagnetic material by the earth's magnetic field. The radial external magnetic field varies periodically along the length of the object. If the wavelength of the periodic variations is long compared to the width (diameter) of the object, the strength of the radial external magnetic field decreases approximately inversely with distance from the object for distances that are small compared to the wavelength. The periodic magnetic field variations may have a square wave or a sine wave pattern, for example.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for shaping the magnetization wave form or flux which is established by a magnetizer which magnetizes the magnet to be used in a motor. The magnetizer includes a steel core having a plurality of axially directed conductors; the annular magnet surrounds the core. A similarly shaped annular backiron surrounds the magnet; the backiron is separated from the magnet by an airgap of a fixed width. The gap is also referred to herein as an "airgap." However, airgap material need not be limited to air. Other materials (e.g., plastic) with similar magnetic permeability to that of air would work equally well. Introducing an airgap between the magnet outer diameter and the steel flux return path backiron results in widening the magnet flux pole-to-pole transition zone, increasing the flux transition angle, reducing torque ripple without serious negative impact on K.sub.e and torque.
