A single, multichannel catheter for extracorporeal circulation of blood to a patient undergoing cardiac treatments or surgery. Time-stamping devices may include correlator circuits in parallel with signal decoders to time-stamp communication sequences. The wide FOV images broad-band Short Wave InfraRed SWIR radiation at an fnumber of 1. In specific embodiments, a plant of the invention expresses a GAT polypeptide and an HRA polypeptide. As the shaft is rotated in a decrease direction, each adjustable actuator slides away from the respective fixed actuator, relieving compression on the springs and decreasing control load. The first portion of the semiconductor substrate is thinner than the second portion of the semiconductor substrate.
