A control systemmethod for an at least partially automated transmission system includes means to determine engine fueling required to cause a gross engine output torque ) resulting in zero flywheel torque. In one example, although claimed subject matter is not so limited, information processed in acquiring a signal from a first SV may be used in acquiring a signal from a second SV. Portions of the substrate define an outer boundary of a cavity. Methods of applying resilient filaments to pads for attachment to a surgical clamp, tissue retractor or surgical stabilizer are also disclosed. Method of detecting a loss of electrical continuity in one or more of the terminals of the electrode patch, and selecting between a plurality of signal inputs based on signal quality, are also disclosed. An example method includes measuring pressure proximate at least one of first and second pressure control modules along a drilling apparatus and telemetering the measured pressure to a surface controller.
