Systems and methods for providing alarming indications and troubleshooting indications and actions in connection with a web converting manufacturing process such as that used for manufacturing disposable absorbent garments. The configurable integrated circuit generates a selected one of M discrete values of an output characteristic of the configurable integrated circuit based on the selected one of the M predetermined configurations. The invention also provides compositions, such as pharmaceutical compositions, comprising the novel compounds, as well as for their use in research, diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic methods. The pole pieces extend radially beyond the vacuum envelope. The bus functional model also sub-divides general functions and data structures into separate re-usable functional blocks. The cluster start time for the beacon is adjusted based on the earliest timestamp associated with the positioned observations corresponding to the selected cluster.
