An ion beam-assisted deposition process for preparing a membrane-electrode structure is described wherein a layer of liquid ionomer is applied to the surface of a carbon cloth gas diffusion electrode structure. In one method, a patterned SLR layer over an anti-reflective coating is provided and at least a portion of the patterned SLR layer and a portion of the ARC are exposed to radiation. Improved reconfigurable execution units support deep pipelining, addition of additional registers and register files, compound instructions with many source and destination registers and wide data paths. In this method, ripening is initiated by inserting additional gas into the banana package, such that the gas medium comprises from about 2. The clip also includes a generally flat pick-up surface configured to enable the clip to be picked up by a head associated with pick-and-place equipment. The first circuit includes a first switching element that is selectively activated based on the switching signal.
