The invention is directed to highly crystalline, frit-sintered glass-ceramic materials and seals made using them that are suitable for solid oxide fuel cell applications. The sector format conversion device includes a processor, and microcode which causes the processor to overlay first sectors having a first sector format onto second sectors having a second sector format, where that sector format conversion device does not include an operating system comprising a user mode and a kernel mode. The electronic program guide data includes information characterizing television programs listed in an electronic program guide. The implementing means of the invention may be a polarizing beam splitting layer designed as an interface layer between two prisms. The second electrode is provided above the first electrode and the first auxiliary structure, and is driven in a direction of the first electrode.
