The present invention relates to a method for creating a Markov process that generates sequences. At boundaries between the partitions, optional device areas are formed in which the tape is loaded and unloaded. In another aspect, the finger pointing apparatus includes at least one electromagnetic wave transmitter connected with a corresponding pressure sensor and fixed on the hand for transmitting electromagnetic wave to all electromagnetic wave receivers when pressure is detected by the pressure sensor. The accessory can be a staple remover, a hole punch, a pencil sharpener, or other office tool. The substrate supporting member is a foldable substrate supporting member. This open loop gain linearization enables tuning events such as channel slewing, and laser start-up operations to be performed with reduced tuning overshoots and undershoots that would otherwise result from the non-linear TEC transfer function characteristic.
