Information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream is received at an edge network device. In one embodiment, the stem includes a breakaway groove to prevent over torquing of the stem. A dummy gate electrode structure is patterned overlying semiconductor material of the semiconductor substrate, and a resistor structure is patterned overlying the STI structure. One or more transmissions of symbols contained in the output symbols may be performed, where each transmission may include puncturing the mother code by selecting one or more symbols from the of output symbols, and transmitting each symbol in the one or more symbols on an antenna corresponding to that symbol. According to said method, if the gear ratio is less than a threshold value and the actuation of a driving pedal is not equal to zero and is less than a threshold value, warning measures are initiated to alert the driver to misuse.
