A faucet incorporating vandal resistant features is provided to limit the possibility of tampering by limiting access to the valve cartridges of the faucet. In the step a, a second principal surface of the support which is opposite to the first principal surface is provided with a low heat conduction member that has a predetermined pattern. The surface-mountable capacitor is coupled in a shunt configuration between the at least one transistor and a power supply terminal of the device to decouple the at least one transistor from a power supply. The small-size blocks are then processed in parallel using a small-size block ME processing algorithm.
