A fire-rated receiver channel includes at least one intumescent or other fire-resistant material strip. Alternatively, upon detection of the contention above, a same line re-display read processing circuit performs same line re-display read processing without moving to the next line, and supplies a display read signal and a display line data transfer signal to the memory circuit while supplying the display line data transfer signal to the line latch circuit. One of the torque-transmitting mechanisms is a stationary type torque-transmitting mechanism, or brake, and the remaining four of the torque-transmitting mechanisms are of the rotating type torque-transmitting mechanisms, or clutches. The cover and base plate enclose a hard disk area that has a horizontal center line. In one embodiment, an ETSOI layer includes a plurality of shallow trench isolations defining a plurality of distinct semiconductor-on-insulator regions, the distinct SOI regions having at least three different thicknesses; at least one recess located within the distinct SOI regions; and an oxide cap over the at least one recess.
