ÑPattern buffer. This superconducting tokamak device delays transmission of
the matter stream so that Doppler compensators can correct for relative
motion between the emitter array and the target. A single pattern buffer is
shared between each pair of transporter chambers. Operating rules require
at least one additional pattern buffer to be available in the system for
possible emergency shunting. In emergency situations, the pattern buffer is
capable of holding the entire matter stream in suspension for periods
approaching 420 seconds before degradation in pattern image occurs. ╞
