Abstract: Techniques for allocating channel frequencies in remote physical device. The channel frequencies are sorted in a predefined order, wherein each channel frequency has a symbol rate. Further, the channel frequencies are grouped into one or more channel groups, wherein each channel group comprises one or more channel frequencies. The one or more channel groups are prioritized from highest priority to lowest priority. Further, the one or more channel frequencies are allocated starting from highest priority channel group to largest size window based on available slots in the largest size window and till a difference between last channel frequency and first channel frequency falls within frequency span limit of the largest size window. Further, prioritizing and allocating are repeated till remaining one or more channel frequencies of the one or more channel groups are allocated to next available windows or the next available windows are exhausted.

Abstract: An electrified vehicle includes a storage compartment positioned forward of a vehicle passenger cabin and accessible by opening a vehicle hood, a thermally conductive plate or heat exchanger in contact with a bottom surface of the storage compartment and having an associated conduit configured for circulating a working fluid from a vehicle cooling system, and a valve operable to control flow of the working fluid through the conduit.

Abstract: Sensitive information is identified. For example, the sensitive information may be a set of medical records. A request is received to send the sensitive information from a first domain to a second domain. For example, the request may be to send the sensitive information from a first corporation to a second corporation. The sensitive information is encrypted. The encrypted sensitive information comprises an authentication field. The authentication field identifies one or more authentication factors that are required to unencrypt the sensitive information. For example, the authentication field may indicate that a user is required to provide a username/password and a fingerprint scan to access the sensitive information. The encrypted sensitive information is sent to the second domain. The user in the second domain is required to authenticate using the one or more authentication factors to access the sensitive information.

Abstract: In a numerical simulation, input data expressed in at least a first domain is received. The input data is transformed to generate frequency modes of the input data in frequency domain. The transformed data is down-sampled to retain a subset of the frequency modes in the frequency domain.

The processing includes applying, in each stage of the one or more stages, a non-linear transformation to the subset of the frequency modes. The down-sampled output is then up-sampled to generate an up-sampled output corresponding to the frequency modes in the frequency domain, and the up-sampled output is transformed from the frequency domain to the at least the first domain to generate a result of the numerical simulation.
