Abstract: A fastening device or apparatus having at least two parts or components wherein reliance is on the deformation of an oval/ellipse shaped aperture which deformation results from the insertion of a stud component into the aperture which is formed within a socket component. The present invention permits the attachment of the two components and the release of such attached components both steps being achievable using the squeezing or pinching forces on only the periphery of so called socket component and exertable with the use of one hand; more specifically the use of the fingers of one hand. More particularly, the invention is very simply based upon the deformation by a substantially cylindrical shaped member of an oval or elliptically cross-sectioned aperture which results in forces, due to the deformation and due to the characteristics of the material in which the aperture in located, which cause the two components to interengage and the interengagement can be caused to be released by the simple squeezing or pinching of only the socket component using the fingers of one hand. The stud and socket components may be adapted to have a plurality of interengagement discs on the stud component and at least one recess within the aperture of the socket component which recess cooperates with one of the discs of the stud component to result in the interengagment of the two components when the stud component is inserted into the socket component aperture. Where there is more than one recess in the aperture of the socket component each of the recesses may interengage with one of the discs of the stud component. The resulting interengagement will be adjustable in that the stud portion will be more or less into the aperture and as the number of disc/recess interengagements increases so do the security of the connection of the two components increase. There may also be two "stud components" a first and a second which may be connected together end-to-end using a socket component adapted to interengage with each of the two stud components. The end-to-end interengagement may be made and released by the one hand deformation of the socket component - that is the changing of the aperture from ellipse to oval by squeezing parallel to the major axis and then releasing allowing the aperture to tend toward an elliptical shape which results in the engagement of the two stud components. Release is accomplished by simply squeezing along the major axis causing deformation of the aperture to the circular/oval cross section allowing the dissengagement of the stud components. The fastener of the instant invention can thus be engaged and disengaged having access to only the socket component.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un moteur à réluctance qui peut être entraîné à une vitesse élevée et qui génère un couple de sortie élevé. Ce moteur comprend des transistors (20a-20f) connectés respectivement aux deux extrémités des bobines excitatrices (39a-39c) pour des phases respectives, des circuits de commande d'application de courant qui assurent successivement les applications de courant aux bobines excitatrices en fonction d'un signal de détection de position représentant la position de rotation du rotor, ainsi que des diodes (21a-21f) qui connectent les bobines excitatrices à des condensateurs (47a-47c) correspondants. Lorsque l'application de courant à une bobine excitatrice est arrêtée, le condensateur correspondant se charge de l'énergie magnétique stockée dans la bobine excitatrice. L'énergie magnétique baisse alors rapidement et le courant d'excitation s'appliquant à la bobine excitatrice suivante devant être excitée augmente rapidement en recevant la tension de charge du condensateur. Les capteurs de position sont fixés aux positions requises sur le rotor correspondant. Ainsi, l'application de courant avec une avance de phase, selon laquelle le moment où le courant commence à s'appliquer à une bobine excitatrice se produit avant que les pôles saillants ne s'approchent des pôles magnétiques correspondants, est assurée, et cette application de courant peut être effectuée sur un grand angle électrique prédéterminé.

Abstract: A radio frequency automatic identification system detects targets which include solid resonators resonating at several frequencies, attributing information to the frequencies at which the target resonates. Preferred resonators are quartz crystals, which according to the invention, may be made by a process of heating quartz to soften it and cutting crystals to approximate size and resonant frequency. Resonators produced by such a process may be measured to determine their actual resonant frequency, and preferably the crystals may be sorted into predetermined frequency windows in accordance with their measured resonant frequency. A set of resonators having frequencies corresponding to predetermined data can be selected from the sorted groups of resonators and incorporated into a target. A preferred target is an ink-like material having a plurality of resonators disposed in a matrix which is radio frequency transparent at the frequency of interest. Targets maybe detected by repetitively sweeping the frequency of the interrogating signal through a range which includes the information-bearing range of the system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An article including at least one segment which is capable of being elastically shirred along at least a portion of its length subsequent to manufacture of the article, preferably by mechanical manipulation of a predetermined portion of the elastically shirrable segment. The predetermined mechanically manipulatable portion of the elastically shirrable segment preferably comprises an elastomeric member (20) which is maintained in a prestretched and tensioned condition in the desired direction of shirring. The opposed ends of the elastically shirrable segment in the article are interconnected to one another through the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member. The prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member is also secured in fixed relation to at least one rigidifying member (15,16) to form a composite structure (10) which is strong enough to resist collapse in a direction parallel to the tensile forces acting upon the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member prior to mechanical manipulation of the composite structure. The article is elastically shirred by mechanically manipulating the predetermined portion of the shirrable segment until movement of the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member relative to the rigidifying member is effected. To elasticize the article containing the elastically shirrable segment, the relative movement between the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member and the rigidifying member must be sufficient to release the tensile forces in the mechanically manipulated portion of the composite structure. This relative movement produces a degree of elastic shirring in the segment, and consequently in the article to which it is attached, in the direction of prestretching of the elastomeric member. The degree of segment shirring is proportional to the extent to which there is relative movement between the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member and the rigidifying member in the area comprising the composite structure. Thus, the tension in the elastically shirrable segment can be increased by the user, as desired, by mechanically manipulating more of the composite structure. Elastically shirrable segments of the present invention are particularly well suited to high speed article manufacturing operations, since the segments can be applied to the articles in a substantially untensioned condition and their tension released subsequent to article manufacture.
