Abstract: A point-of-sale interface receives point-of-sale quantities for a number of individual items, as well as point-of-sale quantity for a miscellaneous group item that includes undifferentiated sales of one or more of the individual items. An item indexer calculates an item index for at least one individual item, the item index comprising a fraction of the miscellaneous group item sales attributable to the individual item. A sales disambiguator then computes a revised point-of-sale quantity for the at least one individual item using the item index and the point-of-sale quantities for the miscellaneous group item and the at least one individual item.

Abstract: An anti-lock brake system having a switchable orifice control valve disposed between the master brake cylinder and the brake assembly. The switchable orifice control valve, having a valve body, a stationary member, a movable member and a solenoid coil actuated armature. The switchable orifice control valve has a normally open state, a closed state and a third state during an anti-lock mode of operation. In the third state the brake fluid from the master brake cylinder to the brake assembly flows through a calibrated re-apply orifice which controls the rate at which the pressure of the fluid being applied to the brake assembly is increased at a predetermined rate. The switchable orifice control valve is held in the third state by a pressure differential orifice between the input and output ports of the switchable orifice control valve.
