Abstract: Systems and methods for allocating cache resources on a premises terminal device based on cache allocation performance data are described. Cache resources on a premises terminal device are allocated to cache allocation entities (e.g., providers and/or user accounts) according to various parameters. A cache allocation factor may be determined based on the use of the associated cache resources over time, with allocations being reconfigured periodically based on the cache allocation factor. A cache allocation factor may be based on cache access hit rates, use of requested download windows, and the meeting of requested download deadlines.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of synthesizing netarsudil, and intermediates thereof, in high yield and at large commercial scale. A key intermediate in this synthesis is the preparation of piperidinium (S)-3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-(4-(((2,4-dimethylbenzoyl)oxy)methyl)phenyl)propanoate, a salt that has been found to be easily purified by recrystallization.

Abstract: An authentication system includes an authentication module maintaining a store of credentials for a set of users. In response to an identity specified by credentials provided from a requestor address not being found in the store of credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication failure response. In response to the provided credentials matching selected credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication success response. The authentication system includes an analyzer module configured to determine a number of identity-not-found failures corresponding to a first address, identify a triggering event in response to the number exceeding a predetermined threshold, and, in response to the triggering event, add the first address to a block list.

In one implementation, a method includes: receiving at least one user interface command to modify a phantom center image of audio output from the audio system in the automobile, wherein the phantom center image of the audio output includes a designated position of sound produced by a set of speakers in the audio system other than physical locations of the set of speakers in the audio system; and adjusting a perceived location of the phantom center image of the audio output from the audio system based upon the at least one user interface command to modify the phantom center image of the audio output.

Abstract: An adjustable base plate system includes a first track structure configured to extend along one side of a vehicle cargo area and a second track structure configured to extend along an opposite side of a vehicle cargo area. At least one base plate has a first edge and a second edge opposite of the first edge, wherein the first edge is supported by the first track structure and the second edge is supported by the second track structure. The first track structure and the second track structure each comprise at least a first tier track and a second tier track such that a distance between a bottom surface of the at least one base plate and a support surface of the vehicle cargo area can be adjusted.

Abstract: Provided herein is a system and method for monitoring the health of a steering system of a vehicle. Methods can include: receiving location information and motion information associated with a vehicle; determining, from the location information, a map-matched road segment associated with the location information; establishing a geometry of the map-matched road segment based on map data of a map database; filtering the motion information associated with the vehicle to establish a baseline movement of the vehicle; determining, during the baseline movement of the vehicle, steering angle input received at a steering system of the vehicle; determining, from the steering angle input received at the steering system of the vehicle, a steering angle offset; and causing the steering angle offset to be applied to the steering system of the vehicle.
