Abstract:

Quick release bolt assembly (10) included shank (12) and head (14) of larger cross-section than that of shank (12). The screw thread of shank (12) is adapted to rotatably engage with a complementary screw thread in a nut. Disengagement means are adapted in use to disengage the head (14) or the nut without rotation of the nut or shank (12). The disengagement means includes a material (18) such as shape memory alloy or epoxy resin, adapted to change form to facilitate engagement when activated. Activation may take place by a direct power supply or remotely by a radio frequency, magnetic, ultrasonic or infra red signal. Bolt (10) can be used for anchoring seat belts. Computer systems and methods for the identification of a target, including enquiring as to the status of the target and having means to command the target to change the status are also disclosed and claimed.
