An apparatus for receiving and storing an incoming sequence and for forwarding the bytes of the incoming sequence as an outgoing sequence in a different byte order includes a cache memory and a main memory for storing bytes of the incoming sequence until they can be forwarded as bytes of the outgoing sequence. The IP switch includes access ports, interswitch ports, and a switching table. The thermal airflow tool is in physical and electrical connection with an air pressure unit and thermal power unit, respectively, for directing and concentrating at least one of the pressurized airflow and heat at the distal end of the thermal airflow tool onto a surgical area when electrical power is applied to the thermal airflow tool. Further, at least one of the first capacitor, the second capacitor, and the third capacitor is preferably formed by connecting a plurality of capacitors in parallel. The handles can be moved by the surgeon to produce a corresponding movement of the end effectors. A dielectric layer is formed on the lower surface of the die pad, so that the die pad is etched to form an interconnecting conductor with a bonding region.
