	@header IOHIDValue
    IOHIDValue defines a value at a given time from an parsed item 
    (IOHIDElement) contained within a Human Interface Device (HID) object.  It 
    is used to obtain either integer or data element values along with scaled 
    values based on physical or calibrated settings. IOHIDValue is a CFType 
    object and as such conforms to all the conventions expected such object.
