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. The storage compartment may be filled with a cooling medium, such as ice or dry ice, to provide enhanced cooling during high-demand operation or charging of the vehicle, such as when operating in a performance/track mode, towing a trailer, or in other extreme use scenarios. The valve may be controlled so that the working fluid bypasses the conduit when the storage compartment is used for cargo and/or enhanced cooling is not desired.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to automatically present suitable content for a particular audience. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method receiving virtual experience content associated with a first virtual experience associated with a first target audience and including content that is restricted as not viewable by a second target audience, receiving at least one content alternative, generating a first rating for the received virtual experience content and a second rating for the at least one content alternative, and automatically providing only one of the received virtual experience content or the at least one content alternative to user devices based on the first rating and the second rating.

Abstract: The present technology provides solutions that enable accurate measuring of frequency response on a network (e.g., cable network, fiber optic network) through frequency sweep testing. In various embodiments, the present technology provides a remote transmitter test unit that can be physically deployed at various points in a network. The present technology provides for on demand sweep testing. A remote transmitter test unit or headend test unit can periodically transmit a query message and, based on a response to the query message, can initiate a sweep test. The present technology provides for automatic generation of a sweep profile for a sweep test. Based on an analysis of a frequency spectrum on a network, the sweep profile provides parameters for conducting a sweep test. The present technology provides for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) table generation and OFDM sweep testing.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a reconfigurable software integrated module providing upfitter support capabilities via software residing on the vehicle and designated for individual upfitter modules, the software integrated module working with a vehicle service orchestrator to manage upfitter services in accordance with vehicle resources. The vehicle receives indication of an attached upfit module and determines whether the vehicle includes software for control of the upfit module. The vehicle verifies subscription to the software. Responsive to verification of subscription, the vehicle provides vehicle services to the upfit module as requested by at least one of the software or the upfit module and provides onboard wireless control of the upfit module via a vehicle interface.

Abstract: Dental implants may be designed using a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root and/or a corresponding socket site. The dental implant may include three portions: a root segment designed to sit below the patient's gum line, a connector portion positioned above the root segment and designed to sit above the gum line, and an abutment portion positioned above the connector portion upon which a temporary or permanent crown may be placed. The root segment may include three sections that correspond to three areas of a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root. The first and third sections of the implant may have a size and shape that corresponds to a first and third portions of the three-dimensional scan, respectively. A circumference of the second section of the implant may be smaller than a corresponding circumference of the second section of the three-dimensional scan of the tooth root.
