A dataform reading module includes at least one photosensor providing a plurality of different zones for image capture. The protective circuitry includes a field effect transistor and a detection unit. The cross-sectional area of an upper portion of the contact pad in the contact pad spacer in a direction horizontal to the substrate is equal to or less than a cross-sectional area of an intermediate portion at an interface between the contact pad spacer and the first interlayer insulating film in a direction horizontal to the substrate. A third embodiment includes a method to dynamically adjust the cost function parameters and other selected coding control parameters based on encoder outputs to optimize the quality and performance of the encoder. A plain version of the holder is disclosed as well. The capture frame acts to engage the sub-ordinate vessel in the transitional coordinate space shared jointly between the sub-ordinate and host vessels, which vessels can be either or both surface-going, submersible, andor non-surface vessels.
