A system and method for securely controlling access to a designated location with a single card having a permanent data storage medium and a temporary data storage medium disposed on the card. The molding-system process includes a receiving operation, including receiving a polymer unit, a cyclic olefin copolymer unit and a reinforcement unit. The valve member is movable relative to the valve seat in an opening direction that is parallel and coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the filter housing and oriented toward the interior of the filter housing. The receiver may generate a decision as to which of a set of possible transmitted symbol sequences resulted in the received symbol sequence, where the decision is based on the differential decision metrics and the set of possible transmitted symbols sequences. A weld is formed at the interface between the second and third layers in a continuous closed path around the via and forms a fluid-tight seal for fluid flow between the via and the microfluidic circuit. Accordingly, the turbochargers and the exhaust-gas purification device can be arranged compactly and the layout of some devices around the engine can be facilitated.
