Embodiments of the present invention provide a multiple description audio coding and decoding method, apparatus, and system. The process involves the steps of forming a pulp of finely divided coal or oil shale in a first reaction bed, adding concentrated sulphuric acid to the first reaction bed, controlling the temperature of the first reaction bed to produce a hydrocarbon mixture, and deacidifying the hydrocarbon mixture. The measurement system further includes a computational subsystem that generates a precompensation signal and precompensation value as a function of the distortion in the waveform. The sense amplifier controller selectively connects one of the upper and lower memory cell arrays to the bit line sense amplifier block array in response to an active command, and releases the connection when a corresponding one of the upper and lower memory cell arrays are not selected but overdriven. The logic circuit also includes a second core-logic circuit for receiving configuration data sub-sets from the first connecting circuit and for providing the output data.
