The present invention relates to an improved a shielded contactor having an insulative material or proxy for making reliable electrical contact. The system provides a possibility for reducing shunt currents by applying a shunt-current minimizing voltage to terminals of the manifolds from the terminal electrodes of the cells connected in series. The BSS manages data communication in a cell. The application program detects properties and in response to the first property, automatically displays a review toolbar. The second layer is etched into regions overlaying the tunnel dielectric layer in the spaces between strips. An electrically conductive layer is disposed between the two soft magnetic layers for passing an electric current therethrough to perform the read and write operations.
