  • Patent number: 9424103
    Abstract: A method for operating a lock in a computing system having plural processing units and running under multiple runtime environments is provided. When a requester thread attempts to acquire the lock while the lock is held by a holder thread, determine whether the holder thread is suspendable or non-suspendable. If the holder thread is non-suspendable, put the requester thread in a spin state regardless of whether the requester thread is suspendable or non-suspendable; otherwise determines whether the requester thread is suspendable or non-suspendable unless the requester thread quits acquiring the lock. If the requester thread is non-suspendable, arrange the requester thread to attempt acquiring the lock again; otherwise add the requester thread to a wait queue as an additional suspended thread. Suspended threads stored in the wait queue are allowable to be resumed later for lock acquisition. The method is applicable for the computing system with a multicore processor.

  • Publication number: 20160081488
    Abstract: A mattress for evenly gathering and dispersing human body gravity comprises elastic surface layer connecting cloth (1), elastic support frames (2), lateral connecting cloth (3), a filling region (4), granular fillers (5), a filler inlet/outlet (6), lower connecting cloth (7), a foot limiting belt (8), a leg limiting belt (9), hip limiting belts (10) and a back limiting belt (11) (“limiting belts” for short). The width of each of the limiting belts (8, 9, 10, 11) is less than that of the filling region. Upper ends and lower ends of the limiting belts (8, 9, 10, 11) are separately connected to an upper cloth layer and a lower cloth layer. When the mattress is stressed by human body gravity, the granular fillers automatically move towards a gravity-free region and fill a gap between the human body and the mattress, so as to provide a larger balanced stress surface for the human body and realize balancing of the human body gravity.

  • Patent number: 8435816
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for fabricating an InGaAlN light-emitting semiconductor structure. During the fabrication process, at least one single-crystal sacrificial layer is deposited on the surface of a base substrate to form a combined substrate, wherein the single-crystal sacrificial layer is lattice-matched with InGaAlN, and wherein the single crystal layer forms a sacrificial layer. Next, the InGaAlN light-emitting semiconductor structure is fabricated on the combined substrate. The InGaAlN structure fabricated on the combined substrate is then transferred to a support substrate, thereby facilitating a vertical electrode configuration. Transferring the InGaAlN structure involves etching the single-crystal sacrificial layer with a chemical etchant. Furthermore, the InGaAlN and the base substrate are resistant to the chemical etchant. The base substrate can be reused after the InGaAlN structure is transferred.
