In a method for reading data from a serial data source in a parallel format, data from the serial data source is deserialized by placing a plurality of predefined units of data onto a parallel bus and asserting a deserialization clock when each of the plurality of predefined units is valid on the parallel bus. The system and apparatus are designed such that solvent extraction of conjunct polymers, freed from the ionic liquid catalyst through its reaction with aluminum metal, occurs as soon as the conjunct polymers de-bond from the ionic liquid catalyst. The header is a continuous portion of the file while the segments are respective parts of the remaining portion of the file. A closure cap is slidably disposed in non-locking interfacial engagement with the container’s neck so as to cover the applicator tip. The EC locks the power button if the power button protection item is enabled. The breather has a container with a removable lid, an inlet for crankcase gases and entrained oil droplets extending through the lid into the container, filter media within the container to trap entrained oil droplets in the crankcase gases in the container, and outlet ports in the lid allowing gases to escape from within the container.
