A method and apparatus for recognizing a state machine in circuit design in a high-level IC description language. Asset specification that describe asset to efficiently search andor match asset are employed. It may also be used to secure a tire or wheel during maintenance or during an emergency roadside repair, the device compact enough to fit in the trunk of a car and light enough in weight to be carried by an average individual. A thermal annealing operation causes the oxide layer to introduce impurity free vacancy disordering that substantially eliminates absorption in the waveguide region.
