A conductive layer of a conductive member for an image-forming apparatus is composed of a conductive polymer composition containing an ionic-conductive addition salt. Exemplary embodiments include a method including receiving a first microcoded instruction in the pipeline, decoding the first microcoded instruction in a decode stage of the pipeline, initiating a microcode engine coupled to the processor, with the microcode engine configured to process the streamlined microcode routine. The pigtail fastener is constructed and arranged in such a manner so as to provide an amount of tension sufficient to pinch and thereby secure a quantity of line between the coiled portion and the shaft. The multiplexing logic prunes andor amalgamates the phases of each possible floating tap position and selects floating taps based on a magnitude of each phase. The full depletion type transistors are used for a logical circuit and are formed on the silicon layer at the first region.
