    The use of intermittent pneumatic compression is common. [31] [19] [5] These devices are also placed on a surgical patient in the operating room (the intra-surgical period) and remain on the person while recovering from the surgery. [32] The application of antiembolism stockings can be used to prevent thrombosis. [4]

    Compact cassettes are logically, as well as physically, sequential; they must be rewound and read from the start to load data. Early cartridges were available before personal computers had affordable disk drives, and could be used as random access devices, automatically winding and positioning the tape, albeit with access times of many seconds.
