Abstract: A food storage unit provides a container and a cover which use an interference fit to snap the cover onto the container. The two engage with each other by a first lip (of the container) and a second lip (of the cover). The lips are configured to have an obtuse angle of 95 degrees, helping to create a better fit between the two. The second lip deforms when placed over the first lip; the resulting pressure and friction helps to seal the cover to the container. To help create a more secure attachment, a latching member is connected to the second lip. The latching member is positioned just below the first lip, such that the cover cannot be lifted straight up until a person manually moves the latching member away from the first lip. This helps prevent the cover from accidentally coming loose from the container.

Abstract: A method is provided for scheduling the transmission time of multimedia objects. The method includes dividing the transmission time into frames based on an object decoding rate. The transmission time is further divided within each frame of the multimedia object channel into time slots. The number of time slots is equivalent to dividing the transmission rate by the multimedia object decoding time. A delivery time schedule of multimedia objects is formed with a time stamp within the scheduled object delivery period or frame period. A scheduled object delivery period is computed which is equivalent to the maximum object group delay period allowable. Objects that cannot be delivered within a current time slot are re-scheduled to a later time slot.

Abstract: A method for storing and organizing multimedia objects by decomposing a multi-level tree structure into a graph map using single-link graph nodes, assigning a name or address to each node in the tree structure in ascending order from a root node to the last leaf node, mapping each node in the tree structure to a single-link graph node having a pointer memory location, and storing the horizontal or vertical coupled graph nodes into a page memory.
