Abstract: An attachment mechanism including a first clamp member having a V-shaped first clamping end and a second clamp member having a V-shaped second clamping end and an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a relative position of the first clamp member and the second clamp member. The first and second clamp members are configured to translate toward and away from each other via force exerted by the adjustment mechanism such that the first and second clamping ends translate between an engaged and a disengaged position.

Abstract: A method of assembling an automotive vehicle includes providing a panel having an upper surface and a lower surface. The method also includes providing a hole extending from the upper surface through the lower surface. The method additionally includes providing a patch at the upper surface, with the patch extending about a periphery of the hole at the upper surface and having a different material composition from the panel. The method also includes adhering a liner material to the upper surface, with the liner material being superposed over and adhered to the patch.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a long fiber reinforced thermoplastic filament includes disposing a mixture of fibrous material and thermoplastic material into a hopper of an extruder device and introducing the mixture into the extruder and through an extensional flow die to preserve longer fiber lengths. From the extensional flow die the mixture is passed through a drawing die to create the long fiber reinforced filament.
