Digital video image data processing methods, digital video imaging devices, and articles of manufacture are described. In accordance with the methods of this invention, the segment size will vary during the operation of a means for zooming-in and the decimation ratio is updated and adjusted automatically based on the variation of segment size. The apparatus includes a spinneret, a quench zone located below said spinneret, wherein cooling gas is directed inward to an expanded filament array inside said quench zone, and an applicator inside or below said quench zone, wherein the applicator contacts the filament and delivers the finish to the expanded filament array. Processes for discovering error control protocol-aware terminals are described. The bars are located in housings and form a monolithic structure with the housings respectively. Thus, the plate-shaped workpiece is positioned in a circumferential direction about the first positioning opening of the plate-shaped workpiece.
