Disclosed are a structure of a washing machine having a steam generator, which drains remaining steam water, and a method for controlling the same. The method continues by retrieving at least m number of data slices from at least m number of the plurality of data slice servers, wherein m data slices of the plurality of data slices enable reconstruction of the data segment, and wherein the at least m number of data slices does not include the identified data slice. The combination of balanced moisture flux and the retention of water for humidifying reactant gas sustains hydration of the proton exchange membrane while preserving the catalyst at full activity. Further, a correction component may be applied to an input or an output of the TDC to compensate for a delay offset of the TDC. A compensatory direct current offset is determined by evaluation of one of trailing symbols and a defined sequence of a data packet of the received signal.
