Abstract: A funnel having a collection area disposed at one end of the funnel. A base surface of the collection area is flat. A flange surrounding an inlet opening is positioned spaced from the collection area. When the funnel is placed in a vertical orientation with the base surface of the collection area contacting a horizontal surface, a lowermost edge of the flange surrounding the inlet opening is aligned with the base surface of the collection area. The funnel is thereby supported in a vertical orientation on the horizontal surface by two contact points. In this position, the residual fluid in the funnel is transferred by gravity to collect within the collection area. No residual fluid is allowed to escape from the interior of the funnel.

Abstract: A car charger plug is slidably mounted within a body of the compact car charger. The car charger plug is lockable in a fully retracted position and lockable in a fully extended position, so as to maintain its compact size when not in use, and provide a secure connection with a car charge port when desired.

Abstract: A funnel and drain hose are interengaged in a specific orientation. The drain hose is positioned on the funnel with the opposed ends of the drain hose vertically positioned when the funnel is properly hung on a wall. The opposed ends of the drain hose face upwardly so that any residual oil trapped in the drain hose collects at the bottom of a U-shaped portion of the drain hose positioned on the funnel.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method for processing data. The system may involve a process-modeling tool adapted to define a process model, to define mapping from a resource to an activity in the process model, and to define a metric on the process model. Additionally, the system may have a designation module adapted to designate a goal and define constraints. Also included may be a process simulation engine adapted to employ the process model to simulate a process execution based on the process data according to different configurations and to produce process execution data that comprises an expected value for the metric. Further, a process improvement engine may be a component adapted to evaluate the process simulation data produced by the process simulation engine and to provide process improvement data indicative of changes in the expected value of the metric.
