Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board. A multiport system, such as an open collector multiport system, receives from one of a plurality of source components an asynchronous communications event directed to a target component coupled to the plurality of source components. Typical sports or utility striking implements utilizing the invention include, but are not limited to, golf clubs, hockey sticks, polo clubs, tennis rackets, racket ball rackets, baseball bats, pole vaults, rowing oars, picks, axes, hammers, and the like. Also, a position of an audio data packet included in the main service data section may be re-adjusted based upon a multiplexing position of the main service data section. The data set is stored in a distributed file system accessible by at least a subset of the VMs.
