A system for general purpose input-output, including a first pad; an IO buffer comprising the first pad; and an IO datapath logic block operatively connected to the IO buffer, where the IO datapath logic block and the IO buffer are associated with a general purpose IO block in a heterogeneous configurable integrated circuit. The single element presents both a first end and a second end forming the applicator, the application surface thereof being constituted by the outside wall of the second end. First and second actuating categories may be combined with third and fourth categories of actuators to further form and modify words in any languages. The amorphous or polycrystalline silicon or silicon alloy in the opening and at least a portion of the amorphous or polycrystalline silicon or silicon alloy on the insulating layer is crystallized into a single crystalline silicon or silicon alloy film. A portion of the second flexure intermediate the first and second ends thereof is interconnected to a portion of the first flexure intermediate the first and second ends thereof.
