Abstract: A onetime and disposable use straw guide container that holds dry ice. The container uses a locking mechanism that uses a locking mechanism that uses a double lock to ensure that once the locking mechanism is locked it will not be unlocked or inadvertently opened, thereby ensuring that the straw guide container is a onetime use and disposable item that is safe for human use.

Abstract: A reusable straw guide container holds dry ice pellets, and is operable with a beverage container. The dry ice pellet is immersed in a beverage to keep it cool and create a mist. The dry ice pellet is loaded into a housing through an opening in a bottom region of the housing. A resilient gate covers the opening. The resilient gate is defined by a shape memory that biases the resilient gate to a closed position, which restricts access to and from the inside of the housing. A force applied on the dry ice pellet bends the resilient gate inwardly into the housing to enable entry of the pellet. After the pellet has passed through, the shape memory returns the resilient gate to the closed position. The housing has a top region having apertures and slits that enable the beverage to flow into contact with the pellet.

Abstract: A straw guide container that comprises of a housing that defines a straw guide. The straw guide is on one of the exterior sides of the housing. The housing has a first and a second side. The sides are attached to each other using a vertical latching system. The housing is designed to hold at least one solid carbon dioxide pellet. The housing has a stem that is attached to the exterior of the housing. The stem defines a handle. The handle is used to easily position the container within a beverage.

Abstract: A method runs a simulation. The method comprises receiving a selection of a device. The device is one of a prober used in wafer testing and a handler used in package testing. The method comprises receiving at least one parameter for a set of parameters for the simulation. The method comprises running the simulation by executing commands to be performed as if the device were present. A controller supplies the set of commands. Results from the simulation indicate a performance of the controller.
