An adaptive CT data acquisition system and technique is presented whereby radiation emitted for CT data acquisition is dynamically controlled to limit exposure to those detectors of a CT detector assembly that may be particularly susceptible to saturation during a given data acquisition. The light detector is configured to substantially surround the light source such as to receive light emitted in substantially all directions from the light source for reflection to the light detector by the displaceable member. The processor core retrieves instruction and data address associated with the aborted transaction from TFIAR and TFDAR respectively and stores them into a profiling table. The pads may be connected to conductors that extend underneath the application IC, to connect to the application IC. Growth of the protrusions is promoted by applying photoresist on the ABS and removing it before performing plasma oxidation. The polymer electrolyte membranes comprise polymers or blends of polymers having an equivalent weight of less than 1200 and a Tg of between 101\xb0 C.
