Beverage Mate consists of at least some of the following: a base, metal adaptor, power switch, power cord, coldhot switch, adjustable flanges, heating coil, an external cooling unit and a line connecting the cooling unit to the adjustable flanges. In the write path circuitry for each data pin of the device, adjustable delay elements are provided to enable the adjustment of the setup and hold times of write data applied to the data pin relative to the data strobe signal. In addition, the invention also presents a method to fabricate the springs that allow passage of relatively higher current without significantly degrading their lifetime. The method applies a watermark to the content in the image format according to a watermarking preference. A transmitter combines the spread-spectrum process-message signals and the pilot-code signal to generate a CDM signal.
