| 20090205174 | Two Stage High Retention Fastener - A fastener system for use with an air bag includes a fastener having a rounded base having a flat portion, and first and second arms oriented transverse to the flat portion. A first set of engagement devices is connected proximate the rounded base. A second set of engagement devices is connected spatially separated from both the first set and the rounded base. A vehicle component has a dog-house. The rounded base is received and engaged in a dog-house cavity connecting the fastener and vehicle component. The vehicle component displaces upon air bag deployment from a first engagement position having the first engagement device set engaged with a vehicle body panel, to a second engagement position having the second engagement device set engaged with the vehicle body panel. A second fastener sliding part allows telescopic extension of the vehicle component. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20110225778 | INTERIOR TRIM SEALING FASTENER - A fastener with a base part and a pair of arms connected to the base part. The base part includes a wide portion and a body portion which is narrower than the wide portion and the body portion has a first end at the wide portion and extends from the wide portion and terminates at a second end. The second end of the body part includes an insertion opening, the arms including an insertion portion which is inserted into the insertion opening and connect the arms to the body portion. The arms also an angled portion, the angled portion extending at an angle from the insertion portion, towards the wide portion and outwardly from the body portion. The arms additionally include a concave portion adjacent to the angled portion and further extending toward the wide portion, a peak being defined between the angled portion and the concave portion. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20140204451 | Alignment Mechanism for Photoelastic Modulators - A mechanism and method for precisely arranging two or more optical elements, such as those incorporated into photoelastic modulators (PEMs), at a specific angular orientation. The method includes supporting one optical element in an annular mounting member that has an optic axis, and supporting other optical elements in other annular mounting members that have optic axes, and concentrically stacking together the two or more mounting members about a central axis in a manner such that one mounting member may be rotated relative to the others about the central axis and such that the optic axes of the mounting members define an optics angle, and rotating one mounting member relative to the others to define the specific angular orientation of the optical elements. | 07-24-2014 |
