In addition to localized basis sets, plane-wave basis sets can also be used in quantum-chemical simulations. Typically, a finite number of plane-wave functions are used, below a specific cutoff energy which is chosen for a certain calculation.
Velcro was invented by George de Mestral a Swiss electrical engineer in 1941. This idea of inventing Velcro came to him when one day he returned after a walk from the hills and found cockleburs stuck to his clothes and his dogâs fur.George noticed its natural hook and loop quality and started making a fabric fastener on the same quality.his idea of inventing Velcro came to him when one day he returned after a walk from the hills and found cockleburs stuck to his clothes and his dogâs fur.

Answer Wiki. In the news a few years ago was quiet Velcro, an invention by Leonard Duffy that he calls a Slidingly engaging fastener. The product is self-mating, as the two halves are the same. Arrays of 'mushrooms' fit into place, and lock by sliding into position. It looks like the product has some play when shear is applied (it has to 'slide' into an engaged position), but once in that position it resists tension as well.
