A method for controlling a powertrain in a motor vehicle having a first torque source and a second torque source each providing a torque output to a transmission includes determining a vehicle speed and a current gear selection of the motor vehicle. The method comprises using a client computer system to access via the Internet a retrieval system on a host computer system. The method is also suitable for filling other small containers with liquids. The second calibration codes control the conductive states of second transistors that are coupled in parallel between the first terminal and ground. The neck preferably has a substantially uniform wall thickness.
