  • Patent number: 7062734
    Abstract: Slack times at an input of a latch in a circuit design are determined by determining a set of required times at the input of the latch, where the set of required times includes a required time entry for each different relationship between a signal comprising a downstream event and a clock signal for the latch. A set of arrival time entries at the input of the latch is also determined, each arrival time entry having a corresponding required time entry.

  • Patent number: 4429797
    Abstract: A tie caddy is provided which may be hung from one end on a closet bar, or suspended from the other end from a wall fastener, the angles of the fastener means at each end of the rack being so as to encourage the rack to assume a substantially vertical position when suspended, and yet enable the user to lift the free end of the rack so that it assumes a substantially horizontal position, spreading the ties and rendering them easily accessible.

  • Patent number: 4428486
    Abstract: A belt caddy utilizes a frame defining a traveler bar formed into an elongated rectangular loop bent in the center to create a pair of parallel, V-shaped portions the arms of which mount the eyelets of hanging hooks which ride on the traveler bar, the traveler being suspended over its center, above the two vertices of the V-shaped members, so that belts hooked on the hanging hooks will slide down on the traveler bar, centrally of the unit and be suspended beneath the hook, aligned with the center of gravity of the device so that it will not tend to skewer to one side due to the moment arm caused by the addition of a belt.

  • Patent number: 4003161
    Abstract: A collapsible or removable post which may be keylocked in its upright position and in its stowed position. The post may be used to hold a sign or to act as a temporary barrier in order to block a traffic lane, a driveway or the access to, or egress from, a parking spot. The device comprises a movable inner post telescopically inserted into a ground imbedded container. A locking lever inside the post, actuated by a keylock, secures it at various height positions above ground level.
