Abstract: Fasteners are generally described. In some examples, a fastener can be secured to a first member or it can secure a second (or further) member to the first member. The example fastener can include a body for location with respect to the first member. The example fastener can also include at least one latch which can be located with respect to the body. The latch can move laterally with respect to the body from a non-latching position to a latching position. The example fastener can also include an actuator. The actuator can protrude from the body as the actuator moves from an inactive position to an active position. When the actuator is in the inactive position and the at least one latch is in the non-latching position, the body can be located with respect to the first member.

Abstract: Fasteners are generally described. In some examples, a fastener can be configured to releasably connect a first member to a second member. The fastener can comprise an element that is able to be arranged with respect to the first member. The element can comprise a latching region that is able to assume a latching orientation. The fastener can also comprise a latch that is able to be arranged with respect to the second member. The latch can comprise a latching portion that is able to latch with the latching region when in the latching orientation to connect the first member to the second member. The fastener can be configured such that the element is movable relative to the latch so that, when moved relative to the latch, the element urges the latching portion out of the latching region to enable disconnection of the first member from the second member.

Abstract: Fasteners are generally described. In some examples, a fastener may include at least one latch. The at least one latch may include an arcuate portion and a linking portion. The arcuate portion may be connected by the linking portion to a pivot point. The pivot point may be located with respect to the first member so that, as the linking portion pivots around the pivot point, the arcuate portion moves along an arcuate path between a non-fastening position and a fastening position. In the fastening position the arcuate portion may extend beyond the first member to engage with the second member to secure it to the first member.

Abstract: A fastener attached to a first member releasably connects the first member to a second member. The fastener can have a head that moves towards or away from a housing that is separate from, or part of, the first member. A linkage assembly has linkage arm(s) extending from the head to the housing, or to the first member, and the fastener can be pivotally connected at a first end to the housing, or to the first member, and also to the head at a second end. Each linkage arm can define a joint located between the first and second ends. When unfastened, the head can be positioned away from the housing, extending each linkage arm. When fastened, the head may be positioned towards the housing, whereby the joint of each linkage arm can become displaced laterally in the fastener, e.g., connecting the second member to the first member.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems and methods effective to provide a multimedia application rental and billing system. In an example, a host device can be provided to host a multimedia application that is remotely operated on a client device. A peer to peer connection between the host device and the client device can transfer input and output back and forth between the devices. In another example, a network service can be provided to generate a set of multimedia applications that are available to rent, filter the set based on feedback from a client device, and initiate a connection between the host device and client device when a selection of a multimedia application is received. Payment can be transferred, or a credit account can be deducted based on the multimedia application selected and the duration of the rental session.
