A method and software interface enables serial data streams to be trapped, parsed, tested for suitability for automated handling by a medication preparation system. The continuous adaptation methodology provides traction control robustness to vehicles equipped with a spare tire, or a different final drive such as in the use of aftermarket parts. The second electrode is embedded in the substrate, on another side of the opening, and has a second conductive surface that extends through the substrate and is substantially exposed in the opening and to the dielectric medium. A PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor may also be connected in series between a first node such as a power supply node and the IO pad. Several unique forms of social video games are disclosed.
