Abstract: The invention is directed to a cloud-connected dash camera (“dashcam”) system with continuous recording capability. The dashcam system is configured to record video segments in sync with GPS position data, upload the record video segments in sync with GPS position data to a backend server, and display the recorded video segments in sync with a GPS position on a map to an external computing device through a frontend graphical user interface.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) tester includes a power supply source and a station. The station can include at least one test head having a first contact and a second contact arranged and configured to simultaneously electrically connect to a common MLCC transported to a test site, and arc suppression source circuitry. The arc suppression source circuitry can be electrically connected between an output of the power supply source and the first contact, wherein the arc suppression source circuitry is configured to introduce an impedance to the electrical connection between the MLCC and the power supply source.

Abstract: In some examples, a system receives data relating to an environment of a vehicle. Based on the received data, the system initiates a vehicle preparation action by actuating an adjustable component of the vehicle, the vehicle preparation action to ready the vehicle for a user prior to operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying individual installation instances of a software product. A plurality of consecutive heartbeat messages is received from an installation instance. Each heartbeat message includes a respective identifier that was transmitted to the installation instance in response to a previous heartbeat message. In response to each heartbeat message, a unique identifier is generated. The unique identifier is linked, in a historical list of identifiers, to the respective identifier. The unique identifier is also transmitted to the installation instance to be used as the next identifier in the plurality of heartbeat messages.
