A high fT and fmax bipolar transistor includes an emitter, a base, and a collector. A dual-positioned detent mechanism alternately holds the plunger in a labial, open position exposing the notch and a lingual locked position wherein the section of arch wire captured by the notch is securely held in a diametral slot cut into the bracket. The processor board includes at least one connector for communicating signals to and from the processor board. The dummy gate electrode can be formed along with a normal gate electrode for a transistor. The video digital signal processor may have a first module configured to perform a first operation in decoding an input video stream in a first format and a second module configured to perform a second operation in coding an output video stream in a second format, wherein the first operation and the second operation are performed in parallel.
