The invention concerns a method for producing nanostructures under controlled atmosphere, from compounds having a hexagonal crystalline shape, subjected to a focused laser bombardment of a gas. The stored-value card transaction request is associated with a package identification number, and the package identification number is associated with a plurality of stored-value cards. The catalyst mixture is unexpectedly useful in making polyethers having low equivalent weights. The first plate extends along a first axis and has first and second sides. That is, if a search at a particular location has exceeded the criteria, or equivalently, the search has gone beyond the boundary, the search is stopped because it will most likely result in an un-optimal route.
