Two independent visually displayable data streams may be synchronized in real-time. Also disclosed are laser workstations having two lasers driven by a single electronics drive system in which a single energy storage network is connected to a first laser pump chamber operative to excite a first laser medium and connected to a second laser pump chamber operative to excite a second laser medium. The method fundamentally comprises: hibernating between transmissions by the transmitter; and reading at least one of the sensors after each of a plurality of sleep periods while hibernating. Alternatively, the substrate has a waviness period between 300 \u03bcm and 5 mm and a waviness average height Wa of 1. A front end of the opening has a plurality of rifts for selectively receiving the front tip of the base. The sonication may drive the reaction and, particularly, the gaseous byproducts in the form of carbon dioxide.
