The invention relates to a lockable plug-type connector, such as for producing an electrical and mechanical connection between an igniter and an electrical control device of an occupant restraining system in motor vehicles. A dynamic range controller selectively generates control signals to adjust, at least in part, the operational dynamic range of the analog-to-digital converter for analog signals received by the a transmitter or stored in the memory. The method makes it possible to suppress unnecessary pulsation of the supply pressure of the anode gas at startup, and thus to maintain the concentration of a hydrogen gas in the fuel cell stack at an optimum level while preventing degradation in the mechanical strength of a membrane electrode structure that constitutes each unit cell of the fuel cell stack. Each of the second projections include a hinge hole for receiving a second hinge pin. An aspect of the architecture is the ability of the CPU to operate on the transient data substantially simultaneously with the passing of that data by the data mover. A preferably linear range around the polarity change is processed in order to determine the deflection of the stylus.
