Provo-based Vanderhall Motor Works Inc., a designer and manufacturer of all-electric vehicles, has introduced its 2025 Brawley adventure vehicle. The Brawley, now available to regional customers, is a four-seat off-road vehicle that is “poised to redefine the outdoor driving experience,” the company said.
The Brawley features four individually controlled electric motors enabling eCrab, eSteer, eTank and eCrawl off-road operating modes. The standard 40-kilowatt-hour battery pack delivers up to 140 miles of driving with an optional extended-range package pushing the range to 200-plus miles.
Brawley’s sealed cabin features heating and air conditioning, full-size seats with a four-point harness restraint system and a Bluetooth-enabled sound system. An available DC fast-charging system can charge the vehicle up to 80 percent capacity in under an hour.
“Our mission has always been to create vehicles that deliver more than just transportation — they provide unforgettable experiences,” said Steve Hall, CEO of Vanderhall. “The 2025 Brawley takes this vision to the next level by blending sustainable innovation with the excitement of adventure.”
Vanderhall said that its use of advanced materials and lubricants results in the Brawley being virtually maintenance-free for up to 10 years.
The Brawley has a starting MSRP of $42,950, with the GTS model listing at $49,950.
Reflect Scientific Inc., a cryogenic technology company in Orem, has received a U.S. patent for its new system to cool computer rooms using cryogenic methods. The Room Portable Blast Chiller introduces a fast-response, energy-efficient system that uses liquid nitrogen to rapidly cool overheated spaces in IT environments. It is instrumental during power surges, peak usage times or brownout conditions threatening sensitive computing hardware, the company said. “With AI, cloud computing, and big data pushing the limits of today’s infrastructure, our cryogenic cooling system offers a sustainable and scalable solution,” said Kim Boyce, CEO of Reflect Scientific. “Our technology keeps high-performance systems running safely and efficiently while minimizing downtime and energy use.” The system addresses the growing challenge of heat management in data centers and server farms, especially as artificial intelligence and cloud computing dramatically increase computing loads and energy consumption.
Filevine, a Salt Lake City-based legal work platform used by over 150,000 lawyers nationwide, has launched FilevineAI, a legal assistant that the company said introduces the ability to “chat with your case.” “FilevineAI isn’t just a tool, it’s a transformation,” said Ryan Anderson, CEO of Filevine. “We are re-engineering the very way legal professionals interact with their work. With the ability to chat directly with their case data inside a secure, trusted system, lawyers can now move faster, think deeper, and deliver better outcomes.” While many legal AI tools offer chat-based functionality, they typically draw from limited or incomplete data sources. FilevineAI provides access to the full scope of case and matter data stored in the Filevine platform. This includes everything from court deadlines and billing records to discovery documents, communications and negotiation histories, ensuring that responses are always based on complete information.

These three blends all have a freeze-dried raw coating that the company said locks in the essential nutrients and flavors. “We are thrilled to bring Superfood Morsels to the independent pet store retail channel,” said Dan Markenson, vice president of retail at Badlands Ranch. “These morsels are an exciting new addition to our product lineup. We want more dogs to have access to superfood freeze-dried nutrition and this formula delivers freeze-dried raw ingredients in every bite and is priced to be an affordable spend for dog parents.” The Badlands Ranch brand was founded by actress and animal-rights advocate Katherine Heigl.
ARUP Laboratories at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City has released a test for the blood-borne biomarker pTau 217, which assists in determining if cognitive decline symptoms in patients ages 60 years and older are related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. As this biomarker can be detected in blood, the test is a minimally invasive and broadly accessible diagnostic tool that may facilitate earlier detection of AD. “The advent of disease-modifying therapies has accelerated the need for early diagnosis since diagnostic delays for Alzheimer’s disease could adversely affect outcomes,” said Heather Nelson, ARUP medical director of clinical chemistry. “This test offers a less invasive and more accessible way to provide evidence of AD pathology than alternate means.” AD is the most common cause of human dementia, and brain changes may begin 20 years or more before symptoms start.
Lehi-based cybersecurity threat intelligence and detection product company alphaMountain AI Inc. has released aM IntelligenceTM, a contextual threat intelligence application programming interface aimed at making threat investigations more efficient and conclusive for cybersecurity analysts, incident responders and socket programming teams.
