Provided are an intra prediction-based encoding method, and an apparatus for accomplishing the same. Each PCIE lane is a bi-directional serial bus, with a transmit differential pair and a receive differential pair of data lines. The method further includes aligning the first and second areas so that the first and second rotational orientations are aligned along a longitudinal region of the shaft and inserting at least a portion of the medical device into the lumen of the holder Radial rotation of the first area with respect to the second area is substantially prevented. The data is converted into indices of constrained patterns, the converting including a number base change into a new base.
