A method for reducing signed load latency in a microprocessor has been developed. The filter assembly may include a feed inlet located at the proximal end portion and a first filter element in fluid communication with the feed inlet, the first filter element extending between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion of the filter assembly. In order to facilitate electrical communication between the imaging sensor and the electrical contacts over the full pivoting range, an integrated image processing circuit is mounted to a flexible PCB that interconnects the image capture portion with the contacts. A friction generating member mounted on the control arm free end contacts a pedal arm friction member positioned on the inner surface of the pedal arm to generate frictional hysteresis force.
