Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and method for generating initial operating points for controlling an interior permanent magnet machine. A weighting coefficient is set for a pixel based on the values of the CMY data for the pixel. In one embodiment, two groups of network elements in the same electrical distribution system are isolated except for a selected communication link. The decoupling capacitors of each array are electrically connected in parallel with one another. The polycrystalline or slanting orientation single crystal closed defect accumulating regions induce microcracks due to thermal expansion anisotropy.
