A method of optimizing a set of steps in a semi-conductor processing system comprising a software control program, wherein the semi-conductor processing system includes a first function, a second function, and a third function, and further includes a memory for storing a set of variables, and wherein the set of steps further includes a first step, a second step, and a third step. These techniques may be used, for instance, to integrate the functionality of a browser-based thin client in a desktop-based, rich client infrastructure. The inner solid-state switch is connected in series with the outer solid-state switch. Some simple switching strategies are disclosed which offer power efficiencies in excess of 90%. An end of an activation cable is connected to a center of the activation member so that when the activation cable is pulled, the cap is simultaneously pulled to activate the injection nozzle to lunch the toy rocket.
