Method, control apparatus and powertrain system controller are provided for real-time, self-learning control based on individual operating style. In one example, the measurement task may be a searcher task, the resource may comprise receiver circuitry, and the time that the resource is enabled corresponds to a DRX monitoring interval of a downlink channel, such as a high speed shared control channel. The restricting member is provided between the force sensor and the nut. Apparatus for in-line production and application of EAS device-label composites is also described. In a second embodiment, polymeric material is dissolvedsuspendeddispersed upon heating in biodiesel to form a mixture containing between about 30% and about 90% by weight of the polymeric material to be used as heavy fuel oil to be burned as is or bulk refined.
