Abstract: An apparatus for storing data in a non-volatile memory includes a data processing unit and a memory unit. The data processing unit is configured to acquire data blocks, terminate each data block of the data blocks with a terminating element, and assemble the terminated data blocks into a serial data stream. The memory unit is configured to sequentially write the serial data stream to the non-volatile memory. The terminating element is variable between a first code word and a second code word. The data processing unit is configured to switch between using the first code word and the second code word as the terminating element in response to the non-volatile memory having been written to completely by the memory unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing image sticking in liquid crystal display panels, in which the liquid crystal display panel is controlled by a control program running on a logic device, in which at least a number of selected pixels in the liquid crystal display panel are subjected to modified control at least for specified periods of time instead of the control normally necessary to display a specific image. The modified control is carried out under the condition that the maximum contrast between the selected pixels and their adjacent pixels is reduced. The invention further relates to a device for reducing image sticking and also to a computer program and a data carrier.

Abstract: A switching device with a first personal computer, having a first input device for the input of position information and a first monitor with a first display area for displaying information, and a second personal computer, having a second monitor with a second display area for displaying information, whereby the personal computers are connected by means of a first connection, the personal computers have a first program and the first program assigns the relative position of the position information designated for display to a display area and by means of a switching function redirects the input of the position information and the position information designated for display via the first connection to the personal computer connected to the assigned display area.
