Title: Managing display data
Inventor: Matthew parks
IPC: G09G5/399
Filed: 2020-01-06
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of writing data to, and reading data from, one or more buffers. The method comprises: determining a write rate of writing data into a first buffer; determining a read rate of reading data from the first buffer; determining, using the write rate and the read rate, a portion of the first buffer; writing data into the portion of the first buffer; starting to read data from the first buffer when the writing of data to the portion of the first buffer has finished; and writing data into a remaining part of the first buffer, different from the portion of the first buffer. The portion of the first buffer is determined such that the reading of data from the first buffer does not overtake the writing of data into the first buffer. In a further embodiment the write and read rates are used to determine a time at which data is to begin to be read from the buffer, the time being determined such that the reading of data from the buffer does not overtake the writing of data into the buffer.

Title: Foldable tension spring mattress
Inventor: BO NIE
IPC: A47C27/07
Filed: 2018-07-11
Abstract: The invention relates to the field of mattresses, and particularly, discloses a foldable tension spring mattress. In the spring mattress, a vertical pressure is converted into a tension by means of a packaging carpet, the tension acts on the periphery of a spring net and is converted into a pull force acting on coil springs and coiling springs, and then the force is uniformly dispersed to each of the coil springs, so that the local overstressing of the coil springs and the coiling springs is avoided, and in turn the situation where the spring net and the coiling springs are arched and sunken is avoided. As a result, the mattress can always have good elasticity, and therefore, the comfort level of the spring mattress is increased. According to the solution, the plastic deformation of the coil springs can be reduced, so that the comfort level of the spring mattress is increased, and the elasticity and durability of the spring mattress are improved.
