Paragraph Number

98

"Controller" refers to any hardware, device, component, element, or circuit configured to manage, implement, or control the features, functions, and/or logic for a device, component, apparatus, or system, and may comprise one or more processors, programmable processors (e.g., FPGAs), ASICs, micro-controllers, electronic circuits, or the like. "Logic" refers to machine memory circuits, non-transitory machine readable media, and/or circuitry which by way of its material and/or material-energy configuration comprises control and/or procedural signals, and/or settings and values (such as resistance, impedance, capacitance, inductance, current/voltage ratings, etc.), that may be applied to influence the operation of a device. Magnetic media, electronic circuits, electrical and optical memory (both volatile and nonvolatile), and firmware are examples of logic. Logic specifically excludes pure signals or software per se (however does not exclude machine memories comprising software and thereby forming configurations of matter). "Electronic Circuit" or "Circuitry" refers to any circuit, sub-circuit, electronic component, hardware, module, logic, device, or apparatus configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to perform one or more features, functions, steps, methods, processes of portions thereof. In certain embodiments, an electronic circuit or circuitry may include electrical circuitry having at least one discrete electrical circuit, electrical circuitry having at least one integrated circuit, electrical circuitry having at least one application specific integrated circuit, circuitry forming a state machine, circuitry forming a general purpose computing device configured by a computer program (e.g., a general purpose computer configured by a computer program which at least partially carries out processes or devices described herein, or a microprocessor configured by a computer program which at least partially carries out processes or devices described herein), circuitry forming a memory device (e.g., forms of random access memory), circuitry forming a communications device (e.g., a modem, communications switch, or optical-electrical equipment), or the like. An electronic circuit or circuitry may include one or more modifiers that identify one or more particular functions, features, aspects, attributes, advantages, roles, purposes, modes of operation, or operations and/or particular structures relating to the an electronic circuit, circuit, or circuitry. Examples of such modifiers applied to a circuit or circuitry, include, but are not limited to, "control circuit," "test circuit," "calibration circuit," "sensing circuit," "output circuit," "input circuit," "I/O circuit," "measurement circuit," "display circuit," and the like.
