Abstract: A container lid can include: a body having an opening formed therethrough and a thread pattern formed thereon for mating the container lid to a container; a cap rotatably coupled to the body, the cap configured to rotate between a sealed position in which the cap seals the opening and a released position in which the cap does not seal the opening; a button disposed on the body, the button configured to release the cap from the sealed position, causing rotation of the cap to the released position, upon activation of the button; and a locking mechanism operably coupled to the button, the locking mechanism configured to linearly translate in a horizontal direction with respect to the body between a locked position in which the locking mechanism prevents the activation of the button and an unlocked position in which the locking mechanism allows the activation of the button.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a container lid including a resealable closure mechanism. The container lid includes a lid housing having a recess, a rim, an opening, and a connector portion. The container lid additionally contains a sliding actuator that moves in a first direction and a second direction. Further, the container lid has a sealing mechanism that moves in a third direction and a fourth direction, wherein the third direction and the fourth direction are in a plane of movement which is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated container includes a body defined with inner and outer walls, a lid portion having a cap that is arranged to be actuated between open and closed states, and a removable cup that has a threaded connection to the body. Upon the cup being engaged with the body, an interior surface of the cup may contact the cap, or be arranged in proximity to the cap, in order to maintain the cap in the closed state. When the cup is removed from the body, the cap may be actuated between the open and closed states. In the open state, fluid may be accessed through an opening in the lid portion, where the opening conforms to a user's mouth to facilitate drinking. The fluid also may be poured from the container into the cup, which may include a liner or foam insulation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a low hysteresis center offset comparator, comprising a first switch device, a differential amplifier, a second switch device, a general comparator, a first inverter and a second inverter. By means of the components, a hysteresis window with the low hysteresis center offset may be formed with respect to the inventive comparator with a width of a half-portion thereof formed equal to that of the other half-portion thereof corresponding to an offset voltage inherent in the differential amplifier.

Abstract: A pet dropping pickup device has a receiving assembly, a shaft assembly and a guiding assembly. The shaft assembly is retractable and mounted on the receiving assembly. The guiding assembly is mounted inside the shaft assembly and controls the movement of the receiving assembly. The shaft assembly is retractable so that the pet owner can pick up the pet dropping without lowering his/her body when the shaft assembly is extended. Accordingly, the pet dropping pickup device provides a conveniently way to pick up the pet dropping.

Abstract: A disk array controller is configured to communicate with the PCI-based host computer with a known standard PCI protocol. The standard PCI protocol typically defines a message provided for the disk array controller to negotiate with the PCI-based host computer. The message is represented by the PCI class code. By programming the PCI class code register in the PCI configuration space register (offset address 09H-0BH) with appropriate hex codes, the disk array controller will be identified as a stand PCI bus master IDE controller, and can be driven by the PCI bus master IDE controller driver utility, which is built in most of the PC-based operating system.
