Abstract: A frame for attaching a vehicle cover is disclosed. The frame includes first poles and second poles placed on the ground with the first poles acting as parallel poles and the second poles acting as orthogonal poles. The first poles position at the sides of a vehicle and the second poles position underneath wheels of the vehicle. The second poles utilize the curvature of the wheels and remain underneath the wheels. The first poles and the second poles are positioned perpendicularly to each other and connect via connectors. The frame includes a vehicle cover attached to distal ends of the first poles allowing it to cover the vehicle all the way to the ground without leaving a gap under the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming three dimensional objects by laser sintering that utilizes a broad area thermal vision system such as an infrared camera that can measure multiple temperatures across the target area and use that temperature data as feed back to a control system that both adjusts a zoned radiant heater system and adjusts scan speed and laser power to control temperatures across the target area.
