The generic name with which I am familiar is "T-star."
I first saw fasteners with these kinds of heads on General Motors vehicles.
Now, my General Electric washing machine is held together with machine
screws that use these kinds of heads.
I don't know if there is a standard for these screws, but drivers for them
are not hard to find.
