Im pretty sure your example's a pin while loomis' example is a fork. If I'm not mistaken, a fork is just one kind of double attack.
They are two distinct tactical motifs. The difference is that, with a fork, one piece is responsible for both threats. With a double attack, two or more pieces are involved. So Loomis' example is a double attack, as both the Queen and the bishop are involved.
BTW Thanks for the awesome link.
