Integrated circuit devices transmit data via a shared signaling link in back to back burst intervals without contention and without insertion of performance-degrading bubbles by disabling output drivers during an interval that occurs at an edge or \u201cmargin\u201d of a given burst interval and thus at a timing boundary between the back to back burst intervals. The method comprises receiving data representing a position of a transmitter, receiving data representing a position of a receiver, receiving a measure of transmitted power at an output of the transmitter and receiving a measure of received power at an input to the receiver. When a polyvinyl chloride resin composition is manufactured using the ester plasticizer of the present invention, there are advantages in that a product having excellent plasticizing efficiency can be obtained, and in that the physical properties such as tensile strength and the like of the product are improved. To adjust the evaporation rate, the container, with the wick, is retained on the sliding part which can be displaced in relation to the housing and is guided with torsional strength. The joint synchronizer and decoder may be implemented within a return channel receiver in a DVB-RCS system using turbo coding and quadrature phase shift key data modulation.
