Herein described is a method and system for providing shared access to data residing within non-data pool related file systems. An embodiment of the invention entails receiving a request to read a binary value stored in the memory cell. Such an implant may be a rod for a posterior spinal fusion system. With this arrangement, the weight and the cost of parts can be reduced while securing the strength thereof and realizing a belt folding-back function, and further a degree of design freedom of the layout can be improved. The method for converting between data in hexadecimal form and data in quads includes providing data in hexadecimal form, reorganizing the data provided in hexadecimal form, storing the reorganized data in several memories, and reading several of the memory locations, which contain all of the elements of the quad, in one clock cycle.
