If the processing module, the module, the processing circuit, and / or the processing unit include one or more processing devices, the processing devices may be centrally located (i.e., directly or indirectly via a wired and / Connected), distributed (e.g., cloud computing via an indirect connection over a local and / or wide area network). If the processing module, module, processing circuit, and / or processing unit implements one or more of those functions through a static machine, analog circuitry, digital circuitry, and / or circuitry, memory and / It should further be noted that the corresponding operating instructions may be internal or external to the circuit including the static machine, analog circuitry, digital circuitry, and / or logic circuitry. The memory element may be stored and the processing module, module, processing circuitry, and / or processing unit may be configured to store a hard-coded and / or hard-coded data item corresponding to at least a portion of the steps and / or functions depicted in one or more of the figures It should be further noted that it carries out operational instructions. Such a memory device or memory element may be included within the components of the manufacture.

The invention has been described above with the aim of method steps illustrating the performance of certain functions and their relationships. The boundaries and order of these functional components and method steps have been arbitrarily defined herein for convenience of description. Alternative boundaries and sequences may be defined as long as the specific functions and relationships are properly performed. Any such alternative boundaries and sequences are therefore within the scope and spirit of the claimed invention. In addition, the boundaries of these functional components have been arbitrarily defined for ease of illustration. Alternative boundaries can be defined as long as certain important functions are properly performed. Likewise, the flow diagram blocks may also be arbitrarily defined herein to represent any significant functionality. For extended use, the flowchart block boundaries and order may have been defined and still perform some important function. Alternative definitions of both functional components and flowchart blocks and sequences are therefore within the scope and spirit of the claimed invention. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that the functional components and other illustrated blocks, modules, and components herein may be implemented as illustrated or as separate components, such as semiconductor integrated circuits (ASICs) And the like, or any combination thereof.

The invention may also be described, at least in part, in the language of one or more embodiments. Embodiments of the invention are used herein to describe the invention, aspects thereof, features thereof, concepts thereof, and / or examples thereof. The physical embodiment of an apparatus, article of manufacture, machine, and / or process for implementing the invention may include one or more aspects, features, concepts, examples, etc., described with reference to one or more embodiments described herein . Moreover, in the entire drawings, embodiments may incorporate the same or similarly named functions, steps, modules, etc. that may use the same or different reference numerals, and so forth, Steps, modules, etc., may be the same or similar functions, steps, modules, etc., or the like.

In the meantime, the term " processing unit "is used in the description of various embodiments of the present invention. A module includes a functional block implemented via hardware to perform one or more functions, such as processing one or more input signals to produce one or more output signals. The hardware implementing the functional block may operate directly by combining software and / or firmware. As used herein, a module may include one or more sub-modules that are themselves modules.

While various combinations of features and specific combinations of features of the present invention are explicitly described herein, other combinations of these features and functions are likewise possible. The present invention is not limited to the specific examples disclosed herein, and explicitly incorporates these different combinations.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, such as specific constituent elements, and limited embodiments and drawings. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above- And various modifications and changes may be made thereto by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.
