A multifunctional box for facilitating the safe transport of the box and a plurality of unused syringes therein. According to the present invention, each sense amplifier is used to precharge at least two bit lines, then to read one memory cell in one of the precharged bit lines. In addition, each process has a local address space that is local only to that process. The heart sack can be made semipermeable or perforated to have numerous holes. More particularly, the present invention relates to a multi-channel quantitative control valve apparatus which comprises multichannel membrane valves which control selective transfer of solutions, numerous syringes which imbibe or discharge quantitatively the selected solution, and numerous liquid flow passages. The coding apparatus includes a determining unit that determines that a refresh area in a current frame as well as a macroblock line in the current frame corresponding to a macroblock line that will become a refresh area in a frame being subsequently subjected to the coding process becomes a next refresh area.
