A tap tape of a tape carrier package prevents connection parts from being eroded. The incision is formed to be spaced away from the lateral faces of the resistive layer in this case. The receiver may generate an estimate of a value of a transmitted symbol corresponding to the received signal based on the estimated phase error. A face bar and filler plate combination is used to connect the new inner hull to the existing outer hull and accounts for dimensional tolerances between the two structures. The group may be all of the contracts of the plurality or a sub-portion of the plurality.
