A suction swab includes a suction tube having a hollow body provided with first and second open end portions and a bend portion. The vertical members engage a gear junction of the horizontal members such that upon rotation of the vertical members, the horizontal members telescopically collapse. The dielectric material is a non-fibrillated, fluoropolymer matrix that has inorganic particles distributed therein and is impregnated with a thermoset material. An exemplary method includes a determination of past and present processors that have had access to the resource so as to maintain the coherency of the fast memory of the processor. During this refractory period, a transition from the non-invasive programmed stimulation state machine back to the standard stimulation state machine is accomplished.
