A running board assembly is designed such that it does not adversely effect the triggering properties of a side-impact airbag system. Gain and offset control signals are generated, where the gain and offset control signals are adjusted to compensate for base capacitance of a touch sensor. The method may also include defragmenting, based on the prefetch information, the prefetch data on physical storage. The projecting fibers are attached to a portion of the element. A base layer on the capacitor includes a cutout adjacent to the dielectric. A circulation system is provided to circulate a deactivating fluid through the deactivation chamber.
