Abstract
A data processing system including but not limited to a section of a first printed-circuit-board conductive element, the section of the first printed-circuit-board conductive element formed to follow at least one bent segment of a first printed-circuit-board path; a section of a second printed-circuit-board conductive element, the section of the second printed-circuit-board conductive element having at least a first part formed to follow at least one bent segment of a second printed-circuit-board path, where the at least one bent segment of the second printed-circuit-board path is substantially proximate to and has a length less than a length of the at least one bent segment of the first printed-circuit-board path; and the section of the second printed-circuit-board conductive element having at least a second part formed to follow a conductive-section-equalization feature which deviates from the second printed-circuit-board path, the at least a second part situated substantially proximate to the at least one bent segment of the second printed-circuit-board path and of length sufficient to make a length of the section of the second printed-circuit-board conductive element substantially the same as a length of the section of the first printed-circuit-board conductive element.
