A housing including a plurality of openings for receiving fiber optic connectors and protecting the polished end face of the connectors from damage while the connectors are stored within a telecommunications connection cabinet. The motor speed controller is connected by means of a cable strand with an interface unit placed at the circular knitting machine. Accordingly, line-pixel capacitances are reduced and the resulting AMLCD is easier to manufacture. The transistor driving circuit increases an output voltage of the resistive load to a desired output voltage level over a time interval in response to first and second voltage signals being applied to the first and second electrical nodes, respectively, when the first and second capacitors are receiving first and second pulse width modulated voltage signals, respectively, over the time interval. The slicer unit is coupled to the look-ahead unit. Each memory block includes a predetermined, sequential set of sectors so that data for a first user application is stored only on a first set of sectors of a first memory block and data for a second user application is stored only on a second set of sectors of a second memory block.
