Electrical impedance myography can be used for the assessment and diagnosis of muscular disorders. In addition, the controller is configured to determine an open status or a close status of the thermostat and diagnoses whether there is a failure in the open status of the thermostat, using the temperature of the engine oil as an independent variable. An encoderdecoder processor configured to encode the user data that is written into the disk without encoding the encryption flag, and decodes the user data that is read out from the disk without decoding the encryption flag that is read out from the disk. Other aspects include novel arrangements of pay lines and wagering options to add excitement and enjoyment to the gaming experience. The bridge device translates the communication link at the second data rate to a plurality of communication links at the first data rate, where the plurality of communication links at the first data rate are substantially independent of each other. The leading edges of the stationary vanes are shaped to direct any stringy material into the radial gaps between the free ends of the stationary vanes and the rotating nose cone to be shredded and thus prevent fouling and clogging of the pump assembly when such stringy material is generated during the polymerization process.
