    摘要: In the first aspect, the invention provides a fastener which includes a fastening element and an actuating means attached to the fastening element. The fastening element has a flexible beam and an engagement means. The actuating means includes a material, such as shape memory alloy, which contracts when activated. When the material is contracted, the beam moves between an engagement position and a disengagement position. In a second aspect, the invention provides a fastener for use in a network of fasteners. The fastener has address means which serve to distinguish the fastener from the other fasteners in the network. The fastener may be the same as the fastener in the first aspect of the invention, or a different fastener. A network or system of such fasteners is also provided. In a third aspect, the invention provides, in a process for producing product, during which process there are a number of steps in which a first element is releasably fixed to a second element, the use of the fastener in the first aspect or the second aspect of the invention to releasably fix the first element and the second element. The invention also provides a computer system programmed to perform the process of the invention.

    摘要: This invention relates to the use of a tag device 4 such as a RFID tag 4 communicating with a master tag for indicating acceptable or not acceptable states of a fastener 12, fastened joint 12a, or an assembled product. It is desirable to have a way of learning of a loosened or damaged fastened joint 12a or fastener 12 immediately, for safety or security purposes. This invention can indicate to a user by remote activation when a change in a fastened joint 12a or fastener 12 is present by attaching at least one tag device 4 utilizing go/no go sensing to the fastened joint 12a or fastener 12 and using a device 14 capable of receiving signals from the tag device 4.

    摘要: Fastener (80) joins together work pieces (14, 18) and has longitudinal body (82) with first work engaging member (86) mounted on it. Second work engaging member (90) is associated with longitudinal body (82) and may be integral with il, or joined to it or mounted on it. Ratchet teeth (22) and ratchet lock (92) allow for adjustment of the position of first work engaging member (86) on longitudinal body (82). Second work engaging member (90) includes leaf members (94) capable of assuming a first position of narrow cross-sectional area (as shown in the drawing), and a second position of a wide cross-sectional area under the influence of expanded part (100). Fastener (80) may be removable from work pieces (14, 18).
