Abstract: By individually metering and dispensing specific volumes and/or weights of each component of a dosage, an amount of the components for each dose is secured with very high accuracy. A method for dosing a pharmaceutical product in a sealed container, such as, for example, a packet, sachet, blister pack, or other unit dose form. The dosage may include a first component that is a thickening agent and a second component that is an active ingredient. The thickening agent serves as a carrier that allows the active ingredient to dissolve in the mouth and be swallowed without the administration of water. The method includes providing the first component by measuring the volume or weighing the mass of the first component and measuring the volume or weighing the mass of the second component. Subsequent components may also be individually measured or weighed before being added to a package.

Abstract: A shipping plug for a transmission port includes a ring having an inner wall defining a cavity and an outer wall having an annular sealing rib that is engageable with the port. A membrane spans an inner circumference of the inner wall to seal the cavity. The plug is pierceable and has a first condition where the membrane is intact and a second condition where the membrane is torn.

Abstract: A dry cavity and transmission vent assembly for an automotive vehicle transmission defining a region within a portion of a transmission housing in which rotary elements of the transmission are located whereby air and transmission fluid in an air and transmission fluid mixture are separated, the separated transmission fluid being drained from the dry cavity as air in the mixture is vented to atmosphere.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a performance tool includes a builder, a seeker, and a catalyst. The builder is used to generate the seeker. The seeker is selected for operation, thereby launching the catalyst. The catalyst runs the seeker and receives assertions, such as selected answers, in response to interrogatives, such as questions. When all assertions are provided to all interrogatives, the seeker generates a yield. However, the yield also can be generated dynamically as the seeker operates.
