Methods and apparatus for data analysis according to various aspects of the present invention identify statistical outliers in data, such as test data for components. A formulation used to make each of the strands includes a mixture comprising at least 20% sweetener, at least 15% starchy material, and at least 1% fruit by weight based a total dry weight of the mixture to yield a starch-based confectionary food product. Also, the detectors can included a laser-treated semiconductor sensor for efficient sensing of radiation in one or more regions of the spectrum. The memory controller passes the memory request to a bus interface unit used to access cache memory and a processor. Ferrite beads to absorb and remove noises input to and output from the IC chip are mounted on wiring sections interconnecting the antenna pattern and IC chip.
