Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for adjusting a mandible of a user. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include: a top tray configured to be inserted into a mouth of a user to form around upper teeth of the user; a top position adjuster attached to a bottom portion of the top tray: a bottom tray configured to be inserted into the mouth of the user to form around lower teeth of the user; and a bottom position adjuster attached to a top portion of the bottom tray, where the top position adjuster and the bottom position adjuster are adjustable to move the top position adjuster or the bottom position adjuster laterally or longitudinally.

Abstract: A method is provided for shifting a transmission having an input member, an output member, at least four planetary gear sets, a plurality of coupling members and a plurality of torque transmitting devices. At least one of the torque transmitting devices is a dog clutch or a band clutch. The method includes applying a torque transmitting mechanism to interconnect a first member of a planetary gear set with another member of a planetary gear set or a stationary member. The method also includes applying the dog clutch or band clutch to interconnect a second member of a planetary gear set with another member of a planetary gear set or the stationary member, after the first torque transmitting mechanism is applied. After the dog or band clutch is applied, the torque transmitting mechanism is released.

Abstract: A control system includes an engine mode transition module that initiates a deactivated mode to deactivate at least one cylinder. A scheduling module schedules a command to disable a spark plug at least one engine cycle after a command to disable a fuel injector for the at least one cylinder.
