Abstract
An electromagnetic mooring system (MMS) that includes a first object and a second object, at least one of which includes an electronic coupler configured to connect the first object with the second object. The electronic coupler comprises a pair of magnets, at least one of which is an electro permanent magnet (EPM), having a flux path. When the electronic coupler is in the ON states, the flux path moves towards the first or second object transferring heat from the first or second object to the second or first object, and when the electronic coupler is in the OFF state, the flux paths moves towards the EPM.
