Abstract: A method for object distance detection and focal positioning in relation thereto. The method comprising the steps of: (a) identifying (via a computing device) a desired distance among a plurality of designated sites on an object; (b) adjusting a focus (via an autofocus device) onto the plurality of designated sites; (c) calculating (via an image recognition module) the actual distance among the plurality of designated sites; (d) determining (via the image recognition module) if error exist between the actual distance and the desired distance; and (e) wherein (in no particular order) repeating the steps of (b), (c), and (d) until no substantial error exists between the actual distance and the desired distance.

Abstract: The invention contemplates a body structure for a vehicle. The body structure includes a roof panel and a side frame. The attachment flange of an outer body side panel includes a roof mounting portion with a dual angle, a glass mounting portion at an angle that matches one of the dual angles, and a transition area where the dual angle of the roof mounting portion tapers to the glass mounting portion with the single angle.

Abstract: An improved brazing system having a plurality of heat sources is adapted for brazing in tandem a plurality of adjacent workpieces and for reducing porosity in the braze joint. The system preferably includes a first laser beam that engages the workpieces to vaporize surface contaminants thereupon, a second laser beam configured to melt the brazing material, and a third laser beam configured to further heat the material, so as to extend the thermal cycle thereof or re-melt the material.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel amino-benzazoles and analogues thereof, which are selective inhibitors of the human P2Y1 receptor. The invention also provides for various pharmaceutical compositions of the same and methods for treating diseases responsive to modulation of P2Y1 receptor activity.

Abstract: A method of forming a vehicle body side structure assembly includes the steps of providing a plurality of tubular members to form a frame structure and assembling the tubular members together to pre-form the frame structure. The method also includes the step of positioning the pre-formed frame structure between open die halves mating with one another to define a tubular cavity portion. The method includes the step of closing the die halves to capture the pre-formed frame structure within the tubular cavity portion. The method further includes the step of pressurizing an interior of the pre-formed frame structure to expand and conform the pre-formed frame structure to the tubular cavity portion to form a final frame structure.

Abstract: A pet bed that is modeled after the anatomy of the canine shape. It uses a specially designed comfort area in the top pad that aligns with the hip and shoulder areas to provide a supportive and conforming area to help improve blood flow to the hips and legs. It also has a honeycomb support system molded into the base that aids in adjusting the overall pressure across the entire surface of the bed, making the bed truly form fitting. A back and head/neck rest support are also included. These areas are designed to allow the pet to choose a multiple of head/neck and paw placements to allow complete comfort with all of the therapeutic support benefits that the pet requires.
