Abstract: A method and system for garbage collection are provided. A memory allocation request is received for an object. An object identifier is generated for the object. A first memory location is allocated to the object. A translation table is generated storing a map of the object identifier and the first memory location. A data structure is generated for the object. A mark flag is set based on the number of references of the object. Data stored in the first memory location is moved to a second memory location based upon the value of the mark flag. The data is deleted from the first memory location based upon a value of the mark flag.

Abstract: The vehicle system, controlled by control inputs, provides functionalities in the motor vehicle (1) and has an interface (9) for acquiring the control inputs and outputting data as well as a control device (5) for controlling the functionalities in accordance with the acquired control inputs. A storage medium (7) on which instructions explaining the functionalities and/or operation are stored is linked to the control device (5). The control device (5) is designed to retrieve instructions from the storage medium (7) and output the same as part of the instructions via the interface (9). The vehicle system (3, 3?) can be operated in an assistance mode in which the user inputs are interpreted and evaluated as control inputs for the functionalities while instructions explaining the respective activated functionality and/or other operational options are additionally output at the same time.

Abstract: The bedsheet-tucking tool kit consists of at least one bed-mattress lifter and at least one bedsheet tucker. The lifter has a handle and an insertable portion, the distal end of which tapers in the direction away from the handle. A stopper provided between the handle and the tapered portion limits insertion of the lifter to a position in which the bedsheet can fall behind the inserted portion. At its bottom, the lifter has a flared wing-like portion that maintains stability of the lifter in the inserted position. In order to increase friction between the bottom of the lifter and the boxspring mattress, a small portion of the bottom surface of the lifter is coated with a thin rubber-like coating. This protects the lifter from popping out from the inserted position. The handle may be coated with a rubber film. The tucking tool is made in the form of a spade with a rounded knob-like handle and a flat tucker blade.
