A side curtain air bag assembly for use in protection of an occupant within a vehicle which has a roof and a side structure below the roof. The assembly includes an inflatable air bag curtain adapted for inflation away from the vehicle roof in covering relation to at least a portion of the side structure between the side structure and an occupant. The assembly further includes a directional guide assembly including a dynamic guide element operatively connected to the inflatable air bag curtain such that upon inflation of the inflatable air bag curtain away from the vehicle roof, the dynamic guide element is carried in a direction extending away from the vehicle roof. Upon application of a tensioning force between the inflatable air bag curtain and the dynamic guide element having a vertical force component projecting towards the vehicle roof and a horizontal force component projecting into the inflatable air bag curtain the dynamic guide element is substantially locked into place at a position below the roof.

The temporary tie plate claimed in claim 4, wherein the periphery of said plate includes a step having a top edge inclined relative to the plane of the bottom face of said plate.6. The temporary tie plate claimed in claim 4, wherein said body includes openings with a larger diameter than said vents to enable anchor means to pass through them.7. The method of claim 1, wherein prior to pouring the concrete the temporary tie plate is coated with a shuttering-release oil on the face of the temporary tie plate which comes in contact with the cement that is to be poured.8. The temporary tie plate of claim 4, wherein said inclined top edge provides a template for a slope of the poured concrete such that surface water is evacuated away from the tie plates in their final position.9.

The method of claim 1, wherein the register is a processor status register for a processor on which the second process is running, and wherein the conditional trap instruction examines a conditional trap bit in the processor status register.7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first process and the second process execute on different processors within a multi-processor system.8. The method of claim 1, wherein the conditional trap instruction is located within a very long instruction word (VLIW) instruction.9. The method of claim 1, wherein the conditional trap instruction is a bounds check instruction.10. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for supporting inter-process communication through use of a conditional trap instruction, comprising: sending a communication from a first process to a second process at a predetermined point in the instruction sequence by executing an instruction that causes a write to a register that is visible to the second process; within the second process, examining a value in the register by executing the conditional trap instruction, which examines the value in the register, the conditional trap instruction being located within code being executed by the second process; if the value in the register satisfies a condition specified by the conditional trap instruction, executing a trap handling routine that takes an action in response to the communication from the first process; and if the value in the register does not satisfy the condition, taking no action and proceeding with execution of the code. 11.
