Abstract: A vehicle includes a cockpit module skin, a cross-bar and a vehicle tracking unit. The cockpit module skin separates a passenger compartment into a first area and a second area. The cross-bar is supported to a vehicle body component in the first area. The vehicle tracking unit has an electric tracking module and a mounting bracket supporting the electric tracking module to the cross-bar.

Abstract: A mirror assembly for a vehicle is disclosed that includes: a support bracket that includes a bracket clip; a mirror glass that is connected to the support bracket; an actuator assembly that includes a retainer and which is configured for engagement with the bracket clip such that movement of the actuator assembly causes corresponding movement of the support bracket and the mirror glass; and a retention clip that is configured for positioning about the retainer and the bracket clip to inhibit separation of the support bracket and the actuator assembly and thereby deter theft of the mirror glass.

Abstract: A vehicle is disclosed that includes a vehicle body and at least one sensor assembly that is supported on the vehicle body. The at least one sensor assembly is configured to detect an external object and includes a housing portion and a sensor that is supported within the housing portion such that the sensor is oriented at a fixed (e.g., downward) angle.

Abstract: A mirror assembly for a vehicle is disclosed that includes: a support bracket with first clips; a mirror glass that is supported by the support bracket; a housing with retainers that are configured for engagement with the first clips to thereby connect the housing and the support bracket; and a locking bracket that is configured for positioning about the housing. The locking bracket includes second clips that are configured for engagement with the retainers and the first clips to thereby securely connect the housing to the support bracket. The second clips extend outwardly from the locking bracket along radial axes.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to upgrading one or more of add-on firmware and disk firmware for a server, which can involve connecting a port of the server to an isolated network, the isolated network dedicated to firmware upgrades for the server; caching onto cache memory of the server, an operating system received through the isolated network; booting the operating system on the server from the cache memory; conducting an Network File System (NFS) mount on the server to determine hardware information associated with the upgrading of the one or more of the add-on firmware and the disk firmware; and upgrading the one or more of the add-on firmware and the disk firmware based on the hardware information.
