An object of the present invention is to provide a sliding member which can slide for a longer period of time even in a dry state. More specifically, the present invention creates a new method and apparatus for the translation of platform neutral bytecode into high quality machine code in a single sequential pass in which information from the preceding instruction translation is used to mimic an optimizing compiler without the extensive memory and time requirements. The IC includes several storage circuits for storing several configuration data sets for each of the configurable circuits. The hole-locating pin is operatively connected to the first clamp portion. In one embodiment, the amplification and unity gain bandwidth requirements in the first stage is reduced as a result. The flat panel display includes a first plate, a second plate facing the first plate, a pattern spacer formed between the first and the second plates, and an adhesion promoter disposed overlapping the pattern spacer to improve an adhesive strength of the first and the second plates.
