An event data acquisition device has a data segment multiplexer to receive data segments corresponding to processor events generated with a test device, and a memory component to maintain the data segments in an order that they are received from the test device. The method uses a pasty or liquid joint filling mixture of alkali metal silicate binder and powder components. The kayak of the present invention is equipped with a first area sized to receive a surfboard and a zipper or other sealing system to secure the surfboard within the first area. The polarization adjusting layer is formed and then etched to a thickness that repositions an optical signal within the active region such that the gain of the optical signal is independent of the polarization of the optical signal. In one suitable arrangement, the memory elements may include two relay switches that provide nonvolatile storage characteristics and soft error upset immunity. In such a manner, both straps loop through a pair of pacifier mouth guard slits while an infant is wearing the hat in order to provide secure retention of the pacifier within or adjacent to the infant’s mouth.
