A method and modem receiver for receiving serial data from a transmission link, for recovering data from the received data, and for synchronizing the receiver timing to that of the transmitter are disclosed. This is aimed at optimizing heat transfer and microwave efficiencies in a high-speed cooking oven, thereby enabling the oven to deliver an optimal cooking efficiency in comparison to the conventional high-speed cooking oven. In one example, the precompiler may insert, replace, analyze or substitute code within the original source code, and produce output source code that can be compiled by a compiler. The barrier component is controlled to automatically switch to a specified mode, such as 2-D mode, 3-D stereoscopic mode, or 3-D autostereoscopic mode, and employ a specified barrier pattern, in response to the received specified control signal.
