    Abstract: A welding material in positioned in electrically conductive relation between exterior surface portions of first and second weldable members (18, 22), such as hydroformed tubes, at a location where the first and second weldable members are to be joined. A welding device comprises first and second electrodes or conductive ends (46, 48) that extend along substantially the entire extent of first sides of the first and second weldable members, respectively. The first and second conductive ends include first and second concave recesses (158), which nest with the first and second weldable members (18, 22), respectively. Axial pressure and electrical current are applied across the first and second weldable members by the nesting first and second conductive ends. The applied current melts the welding material and thereby welds the exterior surface portions to one another. The welding device can be mounted on a robotic mechanism, which can move the welding device between first and second welding positions.

    Abstract: A system for modifying the range capability of an electric vehicle includes a vehicle body having a front axle and a rear module secured to the vehicle body. The rear module includes a rear axle and the rear module is detachable from the vehicle body and replaceable with another rear module. The rear modules may include different range extension capabilities. The rear modules may include a battery or a combustion engine that may supplement the standard battery and electric motor of the vehicle. A pair of laterally translatable pins of the rear module may be moveable into and out of engagement with the vehicle body. The rear module may also include vertically extending posts that engage with the vehicle body. The vehicle body may be raised to disengage the posts from the vehicle body.

    Abstract: A solar panel assembly is provided including an array of reflective panels and a chassis assembly for supporting the array of reflective panels. The chassis assembly includes a plurality of support arms extending radially outwardly from a central hub. A plurality of brackets interconnect the support arms with the reflective panels. A plurality of the brackets are L-shaped brackets attached to an adjacent reflective panel at one point and a plurality of the brackets are J-shaped brackets attached to an adjacent reflective panel at two points. Each bracket includes an elongated slot, through which it is attached to one of the supporting arms. The elongated slot allows the same type of bracket to be used at various points along the support arm and to attach the same type of support arm to reflective panels having different curvatures.

    Abstract: A door seal interface structure (12) for a motor vehicle space frame (10) includes a longitudinally extending hydroformed tubular rail portion (14), a hydroformed tubular pillar portion (26) connected at a joint to the rail portion and a transition structure. The rail portion and the pillar portion provide respective surface portions constructed and arranged to sealingly engage a door seal to seal a peripheral portion of a closed vehicle door. The pillar and rail surface portions are angularly related to one another in the vicinity of the joint. The transition structure is mounted on the rail portion and the pillar portion in the vicinity of the joint and provides a transition surface (12a, 12b) that provides a transition between the pillar and rail surfaces of the pillar and rail portions, the transition surface portion being constructed and arranged to sealingly engage a portion of the door seal to seal the closed vehicle door and thereby provide a door seal-engageable surface in the vicinity of the joint.
