This disclosure provides for adjustment of memory IO timing using a voltage controlled oscillator and a register that generates a VCO control voltage directly used to vary memory IO timing. The method entails contacting graphite flake with an organic expansion aid either before immersing in an aqueous intercalant solution or by dissolving the expansion aid in the aqueous intercalant solution prior to subjecting graphite flake to an electrolytic oxidation treatment therein. The mobile device and method thereof further includes an authenticator operative to receive the certificate revocation notification and operative to authenticate signed comparison data within the certificate revocation notification. A meat retaining plate is associated with the block of cutting blades. One or more second behavioral characteristics associated with the second state of the finite state machine are observed.
