A three-dimensional coaster apparatus for use with a vessel or container, wherein the coaster apparatus includes a substantially square base, and a substantially circular element container within the square base, wherein a plurality of side flaps extend outwardly from the square base and are hingedly attached at a point tangential to the square base. A sequence of sync packets, usable to synchronize with a grandmaster clock, is transmitted from the grandmaster clock to a slave clock. The vise rests upon the ground or other work surface such that one end of the elongated member is supported over the work surface while the other end of the elongated member rests upon the work surface. When the transmission gear is in reverse, the engine is prevented from starting. A controller and electric sensors can operated the control valve in response to the sensed rotation of the shaft. The optical signal can be transmitted through an optical fiber coupled to an assembly containing the opto-electronic semiconductor device.
