When executed, a transaction-begin instruction specifies an initial value for a transaction-count-to-completion value for a transaction. Digital video data is processed to identify a set of size and shape based attributes associated with the set of objects. A control circuit, coupled to the respective gates of the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor, may sense the current in the inductor, sense an attenuated version of the output voltage, and sense the polarity of the voltage developed at the common output node. The processor is instructed to generate first animation data using a first processing technique possibly using a forward kinematic solver.
