Magnetorheological nanocomposite elastomer for releasable attachment applications.U.S. patent: 6,877,193 Issued: April 12, 2005 Inventors: Robert A. Ottaviani, John C. Ulicny and Mark A. Golden Assigned: General Motors Key statement: A releasable fastener system comprises a loop portion and a hook portion. The hook elements are formed of a magnetorheological elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. . The shape orientation and/or flexural flexural pertaining to the flexure of a joint. flexural deformity fixation of joints in flexion. In the newborn called contracted calves or foals. modulus of the hook elements can be remotely changed to provide a reduction or magnification Magnification A measure of the effectiveness of an optical system in enlarging or reducing an image. For an optical system that forms a real image, such a measure is the lateral magnification m in the shear and/or pull-off forces, in addition to providing variable damping damping In physics, the restraint of vibratory motion, such as mechanical oscillations, noise, and alternating electric currents, by dissipating energy. Unless a child keeps pumping a swing, the back-and-forth motion decreases; damping by the air's friction opposes the capabilities to the fastener system. |
