Abstract: Methods and systems for installation and alignment of a vehicle emblem on a body panel assembly include a tool including an outer handling side facing an operator and an inner alignment side facing the body panel assembly. The inner alignment side includes an inner facing surface and an emblem holding volume that is sized and shaped to receive the vehicle emblem therein, the inner alignment side further includes an alignment ridge extending outwardly therefrom that together with the inner facing surface defines a panel receiving volume. A first and second sensor assembly may include vehicle panel detectors respectively aligned with perpendicular first and second axes. The first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly are arranged to concurrently provide an indication of alignment with the body panel assembly of the vehicle with a datum surface of the body panel assembly engaged by the alignment ridge in a predetermined orientation.

Abstract: The present invention is a chemical structure search system and method which expands the capabilities of existing systems by capitalizing on the strengths of relational database technology. The system allows the user to optimally store and search chemical structure information including information relating to multi-valued atoms, multi-typed bonds, Markush searching and various other options in a relational database management system. The system provides a complete chemical information system which includes capabilities for: (1) exact structure searching; (2) substructure searching; (3) key searching; (4) chemical name searching; (5) molecular formula searching; (6) registration of new molecules; (7) structure import/export; and (8) data editing. Additionally, the present invention allows the routine integration of chemical structure data with other related information such as inventory, spectroscopic data and clinical data via standard relational database methods.
