Abstract: A system for linking a first member with a second member. The system is comprised of a first plurality of micromechanical barbs disposed on the first member. The system is also comprised of a second plurality of micromechanical barbs disposed on the second member. The barbs on the first member and the second member are of a shape such that a locking connection is formed between the first member and second member through the first plurality and second plurality of barbs when placed together. Each of the barbs of the first plurality and second plurality of barbs extend from the first member and second member, respectively, to a height no greater than 5 millimeters. The first plurality of barbs and second plurality of barbs oppose each other. The present invention also pertains to a micromechanical barb for linking with an object. The micrormechanical barb comprises a base. The micromechanical barb is also comprised of a support which extends from the base. The micromechanical barb additionally is comprised of a head which is disposed upon the support and which mates with the object such that a locking connection is found therebetween. The length of the support and the head is less than 5 millimeters. The present invention also pertains to a method for making a plurality of barbs. The method is comprised of the steps of first forming a substrate of a first material with a layer of a second material thereon, and at predetermined discrete locations on the layer a third material. Next, there is the step of removing portions of the layer and the substrate such that a frustrum shape is formed on the surface of the substrate. Next, there is the step of removing the third material but leaving the first and second materials essentially untouched. Then, there is the step of reforming the layer made of the second material on the frustrum surface of the substrate. Next, there is the step of removing portions of the layer at essentially the center of the lowest points of the frustrum. There is then the step of removing portions of the substrate but not the second material such that a plurality of barbs is created.

Abstract: A tightly coupled communication scheme based on a common shared resource circuit and adapted particularly to a multiprocessing system including 2<N> CPUs. A mechanism has been added that allows data in a shared register to be read and incremented as a single instruction, eliminating the need for semaphore manipulations during the operation. A second mechanism has been added to permit the use of indirect addressing in the addressing of semaphore bits and shared registers. Operating systems can relocate semaphore bits and message areas to permit simultaneous execution of the same function within a single task. In addition, an instruction has been added which tests of the semaphore bit and acts upon the state of that bit. If the semaphore bit is not set then the processor takes control of the semaphore bit by setting it. If the semaphore bit is set, the processor will execute a branch and execute other instructions. Thus, jobs assigned to a processor in a multiprocessing, multitasking application do not block or wait for the semaphore bit to clear. <IMAGE>

Date Nov. 26, 1992An optical reflector is formed by an array of reflecting surfaces arranged one behind another in spaced, generally parallel, relation along a main axis of the array. The reflector has entry and exit faces (11, 12) disposed on opposite sides of, and extending along, the array main axis. The spaces between the reflecting surfaces is preferably occupied by a refractive material. In this case, light entering through the entry face (11) is first refracted and then reflected before being refracted again on leaving through the exit face (12). The main extent of the reflector is unlike a conventional mirror, normal to the plane of reflection. The reflector is thus well suited for use as a vehicle external rearview mirror as it has minimal lateral protection. A reflector array may be produced from a stack of elongate elements having optically worked faces.

Abstract: A titanium nitride coating (or equivalent metal or alloy) is applied over the abrasive surface of conventional CBN and diamond tools by the process of physical vapor deposition at temperatures below the tempering temperature of the core metal and below the temperature at which the difference between the coefficients of expansion of the substrate and of the abrasive causes stresses that damage the bond between them. Under these conditions, the process does not affect the integrity of the steel core of the grinding tool and the titatium nitride or equivalent coating stabilizes and reinforces the existing bond between the cubic boron nitride or diamond and the core, resulting in a grinding tool with greater efficiency and longer life.

Abstract: A seat belt arrangement has a belt winding-and-fastening device 1 which can be fastened to the chassis (11) of a motor vehicle and contains a belt-winding roll 3 which is acted upon by a retraction force and is provided with a belt roll locking mechanism 4 which abruptly blocks extension at least in the event of vehicle acceleration occurring during an accident and/or acceleration of the belt 10 in the direction in which the belt roll 3 is extended. Furthermore, a belt fastening mechanism 2 is provided which is arranged immediately in front of the position at which the belt 10 runs onto the belt-winding roll 3. It has the following three items: a clamping element 14 having a supporting surface 18 which extends parallel to and in the vicinity of the belt plane; a wedge arrangement 20, 21 which is situated on the opposite side of the belt 10 and points with its converging end 22, 29 in the direction of extension; and a fixed guiding body 16 which has a guiding countersurface 35 which engages in a sliding manner with the wedge guiding surface 34. A gear 40 which is loaded in accordance with the belt roll locking mechanism 4 displaces, at least in the event of vehicle acceleration occurring during an accident, the wedge arrangement 20, 21 along the guiding countersurface 35 in the direction of extension of the belt and into engagement with the belt 10 which during this process is pressed against the supporting surface 18, which process also prevents further extension of the belt 10.

Abstract: Described is a textile floor covering with mutually interconnected sphere-shaped fibre aggregates (modules) consisting of spherically entwined textile fibres, wherein the fibre aggregates are connected to one another and to the floor by a single binder. The floor covering is produced by laying a layer of spherically entwined, sphere-shaped fibre aggregates of textile fibres on the floor to be covered and securing the layer to the floor with a binder. This results in a floor covering which, compared with existing coverings, is less costly to produce and simpler to lay, but which, on the other hand, has the same structural and colouring possibilities as a carpet consisting of spherical yarns. <IMAGE>
