Looking for a particular corner key

Howdy folks. I'm looking for a unique corner key/corner bracket design that has locking cams built into the arms. You can turn a hex-screw and the cams will automatically draw the two mitered frame members together, making the joint as tight as possible. Does anyone know where I can get these little buggers, or who makes them?

Here's what they look like:

Well, it looks zinc and cast therefore, it's a high volume product and I think the design is quite clever.

I can't make out the cast-in logo or text I see on the part.. What exactly is it?

Unfortunately I don't know exactly what product it is used in, but I'm guessing it's used in some kind of extruded aluminum product like window-frames, door-frames, sign-frames, etc. And I agree that it has to be a high volume product, so SOMEBODY must know where they come from. I just have to get lucky and find that person.... :)

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]They are corner keys that go in the joint between two mitered extrusions. Unfortunately I don't have the actual parts in hand, don't know who makes them, and these are the best photos I have. Magnifying the photo just makes the logo fuzzier, and I can't make out any letters. I just need to get lucky and find someone who RECOGNIZES these specific parts and knows where I can get some.
