The present invention relates to a delivery pump, in particular for delivering diesel fuel into a high-pressure accumulator. The floating gate electrode is partially encapsulated by a capacitor plate that is locally interconnected to the control gate region residing in a semiconductor substrate. The gum conditioner may include vertically stacked conveyors that have different operational modes including a first mode that provides a serpentine path for a long residence time and a second mode that provides a cascading path that avoids or bypasses much of the length of some of the conveyors to provide a shorter residence time. The switch-to service checks to see if an assist logical processor is online, and it if finds one, the switch-to service updates an integrated assist field of a work element block associated with the task and assigns a queue to the work element block.
