This invention relates generally to a method and system for storing, retrieving, and managing data for tags that are associated in some manner to any type of object. Thereafter, the width of the mask opening may be reduced by applying a selective deposition or growth process, which thus results in a highly uniform and well-controllable adjustment of the target width of the etch mask prior to performing the actual patterning process, for instance for forming sophisticated contact openings, via openings and the like. The system includes a warming unit for warming the IV fluid and an inlet slot for receiving a heat exchanger, preferably embodied as a cassette. The present invention is also directed to selective thermal destruction of pigmented tissues using related optical means. The end portions of the deck are carried at a greater height than the center portion, the difference in height corresponding to the height of a bundle of lumber. The locking arm includes: an arm part extending vertically from an upper wall of the first connector housing and extending in the engaging direction; and a pair of locking parts projecting toward sides of the arm part 91 in an extending direction from a tip of the arm part.
