The invention relates to a method for determining the deviation in the measured geometric dimensions andor position of an object from definable desired values of said dimensions andor position. The quantum processor may be configured with a problem via a problem Hamiltonian and operated to perform adiabatic quantum computation andor quantum annealing on the problem Hamiltonian to return a first solution to the problem that is in the neighborhood of the global minimum of the problem Hamiltonian. According to the method and apparatus, termination may be selected among a single-reference termination, a center termination, or a high-impedance termination. The correction circuit generates the corrected gray-scale data by executing a correction using a polynomial in which the input gray-scale data are used as variables. A difference between two symbols within the vector product is determined, wherein the two symbols were transmitted over the wireless link in close temporal proximity to one another. wherein Ga is O, CH2 or the like;Aa is thiazole, oxazole, or thiophene, which can have a substituent such as C1-8 alkyl, C1-8 alkoxy, halogen, C1-8 alkyl substituted with halogen or the like;Ba is a C1-8 alkylene or C2-8 alkenylene chain; andeach of R1a and R2a independently is hydrogen, C1-8 alkyl, C1-8 alkoxy, halogen, C1-8 alkyl substituted with halogen or the like.
