11. The chemical composition as recited in claim 8 wherein said bran includes oat bran.
12. A chemical composition for reducing cholesterol in a body resulting from the ingestion of fatty foods, said composition comprising:
a) an amount of bran generally about 85% by weight of said composition,
b) an amount of glucosamine generally about 6% by weight of said composition,
c) an amount of glucomannan generally about 6% by weight of said composition, and
d) an amount of pectin generally about 2% by weight of said composition.
13. A method of reducing cholesterol in a body, said method comprising the steps of:
a) forming a dose having a predetermined quantity of a chemical composition comprising:
i) an amount of bran in quantities generally between 84% and 85% by weight of said composition,
ii) an amount of glucosamine HCL generally between 6% and 7% by weight of said composition,
iii) an amount of glucomannan generally between 5% and 6% by weight of said composition,
iv) an amount of apple derived pectin generally about 2% by weight of said composition, and
b) ingesting at least one of said doses into a body prior to a meal.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A vehicle system comprising:
a communication interface; and
a processing device configured to receive performance data associated with at least one of a plurality of vehicle subsystems and generate a message that includes the performance data,
wherein the communication interface is configured to transmit the message to a remote aggregation server.
2. The vehicle system of claim 1, further comprising a user interface device configured to receive a user input.
3. The vehicle system of claim 2, wherein the processing device is configured to generate the message in response to the user input.
4. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein the performance data includes at least one system performance condition associated with at least one of the plurality of vehicle subsystems.
5. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein the communication interface is configured to communicate with the remote aggregation server over a communication network.
6. The vehicle system of claim 1, wherein the communication interface is configured to receive a trend message from the remote aggregation server, the trend message identifying a trend associated with at least one of the plurality of vehicle subsystems.
7. The vehicle system of claim 6, further comprising a user interface device configured to present the trend message.
8. The vehicle system of claim 1, further comprising at least one sensor configured to capture the performance data.
9. The vehicle system of claim 8, wherein the processing device is configured to receive the performance data from the at least one sensor.
10. A system comprising:
a remote aggregation server configured to receive performance data from a plurality of vehicles, wherein the performance data is associated with at least one of a plurality of vehicle subsystems,
