A tensioner system for a snare assembly adapted to be attached to a percussion instrument, comprising a main body adapted to be fixedly mounted to the percussion instrument; a snare fastener assembly for fastening snares with respect to the main body; a rotatable tension adjuster lever rotatably mounted with respect to the main body and the snare fastener. The check processing system recognizes text on a check using a text recognition method wherein the text is compared to information entries in a customized recognition list stored in a restrictive lexicon. An end of the first waveguide is directly or indirectly connected so as to be conductive to one of ground electrodes of the second waveguide from the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction of the ground electrodes. Among materials with such wicking capability are foams, matted, bundled or woven fibers and nonwoven fibers.
