Methods and articles of manufacture for hosting a safety critical application on an uncontrolled data processing device are provided. The honeycomb unit has a plurality of through holes defined by partition walls along a longitudinal direction of the honeycomb unit. The powertrain includes an engine and torque converter that is continuously connected to at least one of the planetary gear members and an output member that is continuously connected with another one of the planetary gear members. In another example, hydrophilic andor hydrophobic regions are created on or in device to produce the biasing effect. In some embodiments, methods are provided that communicate with an ECU by establishing a wireless communication link with a remote device, coupling with an ECU, pairing the remote device with the ECU, identifying a protocol to communicate with the ECU, and transferring communications between the remote device and the ECU.
