A Continuous Current Rod Antenna that may be positioned in close proximity to a conductive backplane and has extremely tight lattices which stabilize the radiation impedance and allows dense TR modules packaging. A two-part axial pin for the roller axle is spring-loaded to urge the pin axially of the roller axle to disengage the first part of the pin from the follower frame and simultaneously disengage the second part of the pin from the roller axle. The multiplexer synchronizes data transfer of the at least one storage latch and the at least one capture latch, and an internal latch in the internal clock domain. A third configuration uses two end closures to enclose an object with random elevations. The vibrations induced by the device within human organs have been shown to have beneficial effects on various bodily systems, such as increase in heart rate variability, increase in absorbed oxygen, decrease in absorbed CO2, and the like. In an image encoding system for applying compression processing to an input image signal including a plurality of color components, encoded data obtained by independently subjecting an input image signal of each of the color components to encoding processing and a parameter indicating which color component the encoded data corresponds to are multiplexed with a bit stream.
