A pointer indication type timepiece, wherein three projecting portions projecting from a shaft part to an outer peripheral side and formed in such a shape that a cylinder is split into two parts along a central axis direction are disposed at a root portion of the shaft part of an hour wheel at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the shaft part. An apparatus for use with a device includes at least one solid-state memory; at least one spinning media memory; and a controller configured to transfer frequently accessed data between the spinning media memory and the solid-state memory when the device is not in motion. The engine control unit and fuel system control unit are electrically connected together via a two-wire connection. Highly polarized supercontinuum pulses provide for transform-limited compressed pulse durations. A further feature of the inventions is the inclusion of a cover retaining slot formed in the base by having a second portion of a side configured to coact with a beveled edge to form a cover retaining slot between the second portion of the side and the beveled edge to prevent lateral movement of the cover. The method also includes coupling the sensor to be calibrated to the fixture and mathematically compensating the misaligned coordinate system to correspond with the first coordinate system.
