Abstract: Simulation of vehicle telematics events is provided by a vehicle telematics simulator. The simulator performs a simulation of vehicle telematics events based on user-defined parameters to generate simulation data. The simulation data is formatted according to a reporting protocol to obtain formatted simulation data. The reporting protocol may be the same reporting protocol used by vehicle-based telematics devices to format and report measurement data for real-world vehicle telematics events. The formatted simulation data is provided to a vehicle telematics service hosted at a server system for processing. The formatted simulation data is processed along with formatted measurement data representing measurements of real-world telematics events via a common processing pipeline of the vehicle telematics service. The vehicle telematics simulator may reside at a client computing device or at the server system that hosts the vehicle telematics service.

Abstract: A core is provided, useful in the manufacture of closure caps, each closure cap having a top, dependent skirt and securing means, comprising intermittent or interrupted threads or hold-down lugs.
