Abstract: An internal measuring and distribution system wherein a perforated platform 1 is elevated within a box or container allowing the granulated or analogous product within the box or container to filter through into a pre determined volume area 2 beneath the platform. The holes within the platform are angled and bevelled underneath to prevent the product seeping back through when the box is turned on its side as in FIG. 3, to dispense the product through the opening 3, thus alleviating the necessity to empty the product into a separate vessel in order to measure the recommended amount of product.

Abstract: A multi emitter multi input BICMOS NAND circuit (30) is provided wherein an output node OUT connected to an output terminal (33) is coupled between pull up (31) and pull down (32) blocks. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pull up block (32) is comprised of a plurality of identical basic cells, each comprised of a CMOS inverter (C31, C32) driving an NPN pull up transistor (T31, T32) mounted as an emitter follower. Logic signals (A31, A32) are applied on the inputs of the inverters (C31, C32), and the inverted signal (A31, A32) is available at the emitter of the emitter follower which corresponds to the output of the cell. All outputs are tied altogether to perform an OR function and are connected to said output terminal (33) to have a multi emitter like circuit.
