A method is provided in one example and includes receiving a data stream that includes an error code probability; detecting an error in the data stream; and determining whether to generate an error signal for the error in the data stream based on the error code probability being compared to a threshold value. Each of samples is supported by one of the sensor sections. Communications between the devices is restricted according to the configuration currently in effect. The pad includes a grooved lower surface, the grooves being configured to enhance dispersion, in use, of fluids trapped between the pad and a surface on which the pad rests when a downward force is applied to the pad. Also, a groove bottom gauge t of the outermost circumferential main groove and a distance D in a tire radial direction from a predetermined intersection point A to the mark have a relationship such that \u22121.
