A method, system and apparatus for flexible component routing design, wherein a flexible component includes a first end and a second end, includes moving the second end relative to the first end to simulate an operational motion state of the flexible component, scanning the flexible component to obtain a first set of routing data for the flexible component, changing position of the second end from a first position to a second position, moving the second end relative to the first end to simulate an operational motion state of the flexible component, scanning the flexible component to obtain a second set of routing data for the flexible component, and comparing the first set of routing data with the second set of routing data to determine a routing design for the flexible component.

A telematics controller is programmed identify a location of the vehicle responsive to failure of a vehicle-originated data call to initiate packet-switched communications, and send, to a service delivery network configured to provide data services to the vehicle, a message specifying that circuit-switched communication but not packet-switched communication is available to the vehicle. A message is received, over a wide-area network from a vehicle, in response to a failed initiation of a packed-switched data connection over the wide-area network, indicating that packet-switched communications are unavailable at a current location of the vehicle. Failure zones are updated to indicate that the current location of the vehicle is a network location supporting circuit-switched communication but not packet-switched communication over the wide-area network.

The present disclosure provides a fastener for a vehicle carpet. The fastener includes a receiving portion having a first open end and a second open end, a flange connected at the first open end of the receiving portion, and a plurality of engaging parts disposed on an inner wall of the receiving portion and spaced apart along a perimeter of the inner wall. Each of the engaging parts has two flexible end sections connected with the inner wall of the receiving portion and a threaded section between the two flexible end sections.

An article storage device comprises a housing having a storage space defined by a bottom and a plurality of sidewalls; and a partition plate extending between two opposing sidewalls of the housing, perpendicular to a bottom of the housing, and dividing the storage space into a plurality of compartments. The partition plate is pivotably coupled to the opposing sidewalls of the housing via a pivot.
