The present invention relates to an electronic key for an automotive vehicle, said key being of generally flat parallelepipedal shape and comprising:. The ECU stores a unique ECU identification value that identifies the particular ECU and a secure server stores the ECU identification value and a unique ECU security key value, where the identification value identifies the security key value in the server, and where the secure server stores the unique ECU identification value and the unique security key value for many ECUs. The pixel data outputted by the sensor array are arranged in a sensor-bit arrangement and the pixel normalization circuit rearranges the pixel data into a pixel-bit order. In one form, the hot plate is located or coupled to an exterior surface of an integrated circuit, such that heat transmitted to the ambient from the integrated circuit element is dissipated into the atmosphere surrounding the integrated circuit. A position such where the assumed error-detecting code agrees with an error-detecting code calculated on the basis of the assumed transmitted data is determined to be the final bit position of the frame data. A fiber access terminal assembly including a pedestal mounting arrangement.
