A system and method for monitoring blood pressure of a wearer has an inflatable arm cuff that is selectably inflatable to differing air pressures that incorporates a fabric having both a light transmission property and a light reflection property when the fabric is illuminated with light having wavelength in the range from about 400 to about 2200 nanometers. The stabilizer has at least one telescope consisting of a tube and a piston held displaceably therein. In this method the binary pattern in each of the parts includes information representing a respective portion of the original image. Among such hurdles are optical buffering, optical processingupdate of headers and to a lesser extent synchronization.
