| 20090064488 | FASTENER - A fastener for fastening at least two work pieces together comprises a body and a pin. The body has a head, a shaft extending from the head and an open hollow core extending into the shaft. The shaft has a retaining means spaced from the head to accommodate the work pieces. The retaining mechanism has a contracted configuration where it is sized to pass through holes in the work pieces and an expanded configuration where it is expanded in size or spacing such that the shaft is unable to be removed from the holes in the work pieces. The retaining mechanism defines a constriction in the core at which the core has a first width when the retaining mechanism is in its contracted configuration. The pin is locatable in the core. The pin has a least a first portion with an external width greater than the first width of the core. The pin is movable within the core and is arranged to cause the retaining mechanism to change to the expanded configuration as the first portion of the pin moves into contact with the constriction. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20110037983 | Optical Component and Wear Sensor - A wear measuring device comprises a body having a wearable portion at the first end, a light conductive region internal to the body and the light conductive region has a reflective portion within the wearable portion. The reflective portion is configured to reflect light directed through the light conductive portion and at the reflective portion back down the light conductive portion. One or more characteristics of light reflected by the reflective portion are related to the extent of wear to the wearable portion. An optical component comprises a longitudinal axis and a plurality of reflective elements spaced along said longitudinal axis. The reflective elements are arranged to reflect light directed in a direction substantially aligned with said longitudinal axis. The magnitude of the reflectance is a function of physical degradation, ablation or wear of the component in a direction along the length of the component. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20120043980 | WEAR SENSOR - A wear sensor comprises an electric circuit supported on a substrate.
