Best Answer

The person traveling through the transporter is transformed into a highly compressed data stream and channeled through the primary transporter buffer. (Starfleet transporters are equipped with a secondary buffer, should the first fail). Once the patterns have completely been turned into data they are sent to the rematerialization site thus completing the 'beaming' process.

The episode of Regg being alive while in transport really screwed this transporter concept up.
