Abstract: A method of selecting a fractional portion of a bulk order includes a user selecting a quantity of in-stock goods to be purchased to define a stored product. A portion of the stored product is received by the user when the user is presented fractioning options by a software application. The fractioning options include a step of the user determining a parceled quantity of the stored product to be parceled out for remote delivery and a second step of choosing an arbitrary date for shipment of the parceled quantity to allow the user the ability to determine when and how much of the stored product will be received by the user. These steps continue until the amount of the stored product is reduced to zero.

Abstract: The presently disclosed technology relates to a nano-additives to improve the performance of lubricants, oils, and greases. More specifically, the presently disclosed technology relates to applying capped metal oxide nanoparticles, such as capped zirconia nanoparticles, in the lubricants to produce a tribofilms on the lubricating surfaces to provide wear protection to the said surfaces. Also, the interaction of the capped zirconia nanoparticles with other commonly used additives in lubricants may further optimize the performance of the resulting tribofilms.
