Disclosed is a structure and method for producing a fin-type field effect transistor that has a buried oxide layer over a substrate, at least one first fin structure and at least one second fin structure positioned on the buried oxide layer. This feature can help protect the computer component from being burned out due to overheat that is otherwise undetectable in the event of deadlock, thereby ensuring the operating reliability of the entire computer system. A method for increasing the accuracy of the meter factors of a flow instrument in conjunction with a prover having upstream and downstream prover detection switches and a flow computer. The control subsystem operates the engine in the auto-ignition combustion mode, and determines an effective temperature of the cylinder structure of the internal combustion engine based upon the engine operating conditions. A resilient member is fixed to the casing which contacts the power piston 4 when its displacement exceeds a predetermined level.
