A first isolation is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a first element region is isolated via the first isolation. Strands are fed from a source of supply at a metered rate, entrained in an air stream and carried along a confined path between an entrainment zone and the source of supply. The processor further includes a disintegrator having a roller positioned along the length of the housing, manipulator rollers mounted inside the housing, and a discharge opening at the bottom of one of the side walls to discharge crop material from the processor. The beamformer is then scanned to a plurality of different locations in the individual by changing the time shifts, filter weights and time-gating of the beamformer process. This arrangement makes it possible to easily use, at the multifunction peripheral, an image processing function that can be performed by an image processing apparatus.
