The present invention relates to methods for preparing degradable model networks from any monomer functionality with any degradation methodology. Each block of links is represented by a node in the graph representation and connections between the nodes provide information on the re-use of blocks between pages. The digital signal processor is configurable to generate an output signal related to at least one of the first data stream and the digital version of the radio frequency signal based on a selected operating mode. In at least one embodiment, the wall of the device includes a conical portion extending from the base up to a cylindrical portion that fits around the container. The same laser may optionally be used to both transfer the laser-absorbing dye to a receiving substrate and weld the receiving substrate and the second substrate. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
