Abstract: The invention relates to a container comprising: a receptacle comprising an internal cavity designed to accommodate contents, and an opening; a lid capable of closing the opening; means for connecting the lid to the receptacle in such a way as to allow the lid to pivot with respect to the receptacle; and a capsule arranged between the receptacle and the lid, which capsule hermetically seals the opening; in which the capsule is held against an edge of the opening by negative pressure inside the cavity.

Abstract: A method for balancing signals across an IC design having multiple voltage domains. The method uses a voltage tress to balance the signals at the top level above the voltage domains. Then using worst case and best case signal latencies determines the average latency in each voltage domain. Then balancing signals at the other levels of the design by incrementing the latencies in each domain until a target level based on the slowest average latency is reached.

Abstract: A method for signal balancing across multiple random logic macros. The method inserts a programmable delay element into the design before the last buffer level on all signal paths. The random logic macro is then fully designed including cell placement and wiring. With programmable delay buffers in place, the random logic macros may be used within multiple designs, each having varying signal latency requirements.

Abstract: A toothbrush holder comprises a generally planar support plate having at least one L-shaped slot formed at the periphery thereof, the L-shaped slot has a necked portion for retaining the toothbrush. The L-shaped slot may have a major axis and a minor axis. The minor axis of the L-shaped slot may intersect the periphery of the support plate. The necked portion may be provided at a position on the major axis of the L-shaped slot, positioned approximately halfway along the major axis of the L-shaped slot. In a second embodiment of the present invention, the L-shaped slot may be provided with a countersunk or counterbored portion provided along the major axis of the L-shaped slot to retain a toothbrush. The countersunk or counterbored portion may be provided at an end of the L-shaped slot furthest from the minor axis. In a third embodiment of the present invention, a milled portion may be provided along the major axis of the L-shaped slot to retain a toothbrush.
