A fastener body comprises a head and a shank fabricated from a composite material. The head has at least one side which extends beyond the side of the shank and has two other sides coplanar with the shank.A fastener for engaging a liner has perpendicular lengthwise and widthwise reference axes and a head and a shank, with the shank extending in a first lengthwise direction away from the head, the head further having at least one extension that extends in the widthwise direction beyond the shank for engaging the liner, wherein substantially all lengthwise directed load components transmitted from the liner to the head are transmitted through the extension.

A proximity sensor system includes a sensor matrix array having a characteristic capacitance on horizontal and vertical conductors connected to sensor pads. The capacitance changes as a function of the proximity of an object or objects to the sensor matrix. The change in capacitance of each node in both the X and Y directions of the matrix due to the approach of an object is converted to a set of voltages in the X and Y directions. These voltages are processed by digital circuitry to develop electrical signals representative of the centroid of the profile of the object, i.e, its position in the X and Y dimensions. Noise reduction and background level setting techniques inherently available in the architecture are employed.

A proximity sensor system includes a sensor matrix array having a characteristic capacitance between horizontal and vertical conductors connected to sensor pads. The capacitance changes as a function of the proximity of an object or objects to the sensor matrix. The change in capacitance of each node in both the X and Y directions of the matrix due to the approach of an object is converted to a set of voltages in the X and Y directions. These voltages are processed by analog circuitry to develop electrical signals representative of the centroid of the profile of the object, i.e, its position in the X and Y dimensions. The profile of position may also be integrated to provide Z-axis (pressure) information.

A kinematic arrangement of an automatic transmission includes three simple planetary gear units having certain elements fixed to other elements mutually, a one-way coupling for holding the ring gear of the first gear unit against rotation, brakes for holding the carrier of the third gear unit and the sun gears of the second and third gear units against rotation on the transmission housing, two friction clutches arranged in parallel between the input shaft and the sun gears of the second and third planetary gear units, a brake band for holding the ring gear of the third gear unit and carrier of the second gear unit against rotation, and a friction clutch for holding the sun gear of the first gear unit against rotation.

A rigid frame that is positioned around the skull to define a multi-dimensional coordinate system. Multiple arms are coupled together with a support ring to increase the overall stiffness of the frame. The arms and the support ring are made from a plastic material that makes the frame appear transparent in CT and MRI images. Receptors provide a mounting base upon which the frame is repeatedly attached and detached from the skull at the same reproducible reference location. Each receptor is mounted to the skull with a screw that inserts through a rear end. A drill assembly and attachment assembly are used to secure the receptors in the skull.

A handheld computing device comprises a thin enclosure having two opposing major faces. A display screen is disposed on a first one of the major opposing faces of the enclosure and a touch-sensitive object position detector input device is disposed on a second one of the major opposing faces of the enclosure. Computing device circuitry, circuitry for interfacing the touch-sensitive object position detector to the computing device circuitry, and circuitry for driving the display screen are all disposed within the enclosure.

Sonochemistry permits extremely rapid cooling from the melt which is necessary for forming amorphous metals. Sonochemistry also functions at an extremely small scale to produce nanophase particles. If magnetic, these particles are valuable for magnetic recording media, manufacture of permanent magnets, and other uses. The nanophase particles agglomerate, however, which limits their utility for these magnetic applications. To keep the particles isolated, we extract the particles from the n-alkane reaction solvent in a polar solvent and cast the extracted particles with a polymer, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone.

Changes in a telephone subscriber line voltage are detected in a telephone set by supplying a voltage dependent upon the subscriber line voltage to a potential divider having first, second, and third tapping points, the second tapping point being between the first and third tapping points, and comparing the voltages at the first and third tapping points with a smoothed version of the voltage at the second tapping point to produce pulses at respective terminals when the line voltage is falling or rising. An algorithm is described for responding to the pulses to distinguish changes in hook state of another telephone connected to the same subscriber line from interfering signals. The arrangement facilitates remote release from hold and privacy indication functions for the telephone set.
