Disclosed herein is a flame retardant composition comprising a polycarbonate composition, glass fibers, and a flame retardant that comprises a phenoxyphosphazene compound. The method determines the probability P that a given location is part of the travel history of a given sample. The incidence of oxidation of the discharging element is significantly reduced and the effectiveness of the discharging element thus improved. A temperature-based derated motor torque is determined based upon the long-term temperature adjustment and the short-term temperature adjustment. The method and device according to the invention provide for a more accurate determination of the temperature of the semiconductor substrate due to an increased sensitivity to the temperature of the junction capacitor.
