Homework 1: Choose Patent

The patent that I have chosen is one for a magnetic levitation transportation system, commonly called a "MagLev". It patents the idea of suspending a vehicle above fixed tracks consisting of permanent magnets as well as ceramic magnets to control the attraction/repulsion, and therefore the height, of the vehicle with respect to the track.
