A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk and a head actuated over the disk. The disk comprises a plurality of tracks, wherein each track comprises a plurality of data sectors. A read command is received from a host to read data from a target data sector. When it is determined that the target data sector has not been written by the host, dummy data is returned to the host.

A method of mitigating transmission delay fluctuations in a communication system having a variable data rate and block-oriented subsystems, such as interleavers. The method comprises interspersing dummy data with genuine data to form a combined data stream for the subsystems. When the data rate decreases, the rate at which dummy data is supplied increases to stabilize the delay. In one embodiment, the dummy data is discarded prior to transmission and may be reintroduced as needed on the receiving end. In another embodiment, the dummy data is transmitted and only discarded after processing at the receiving end. For this later embodiment in a multi-tone system, the dummy data can be sorted onto separate sub-carriers for transmission and the power levels for those carriers can be dropped to reduce overall power consumption and crosstalk. The concept can be used to extend seamless rate adaptation to systems with forward error correction.

A display driver comprising: a high-speed serial interface circuit which receives a packet from a host device through a high-speed serial bus using differential signals, and outputs a command or data included in the received packet; a driver circuit which drives a main display panel based on the output command or data; and a low-speed serial interface circuit which outputs a command or data to a sub display driver through a low-speed serial bus when the packet received from the host device includes the sub display driver command or data. And the display driver inserts dummy data to the packet to adjust the difference of the transfer rate by inserting a dummy the dummy data. And the display driver adjust the difference of the transfer rate.

Embodiments of the invention disclose a touch liquid crystal display array substrate comprising a plurality of pixel units defined by gate lines and data lines. A thin-film transistor and a pixel electrode are formed in each pixel unit. The array substrate further comprises touch circuit units used for touch positioning. Each touch circuit unit comprises a touch emitting line, a touch sensing line, and a photosensitive unit; the touch emitting line and the touch sensing line interest with each other; the photosensitive unit disposed at an intersection is connected with both the touch emitting line and the touch sensing line; the touch emitting line is one gate line; the touch sensing line is one dummy data line arranged on the array substrate; the dummy data line and one adjacent data line are spaced by at least one pixel electrode. The embodiments correspondingly disclose a touch liquid crystal display. Through the application of the embodiments, pixel aperture ratio can be increased, touch positioning sensitivity is improved, and product yield is increased.

A method for storing data includes designating, in a memory array including cells configured for writing a first number of bits per cell, a group of the cells to which input data are to be written at a second number of bits per cell, smaller than the first number. Dummy data that are independent of the input data are stored in a first set of one or more bits of the cells in the group. The input data are written to a second set of at least one other bit of the cells in the group.
