A container which includes a lower body portion to receive articles and an upper lid portion which forms a top for the body portion. An upstanding rib is provided along the upper edge of the body which is received into a mating channel on the lower edge of the lid. The lid is hinged to the body and clamps are included which secure the lid to the body. The body includes a horizontal rib which extends outwardly from the body in the vicinity of the upper edge thereof, while the lid includes a matin...

A latch is provided which includes: a transparent catch latch having a data input, a data output and a control node arranged to receive a catch signal; a transparent pass latch having a data input connected to the data output of the transparent catch latch at an internal storage node, a data output, and a control node arranged to receive a pass signal; and logic circuitry having an enable input and a clock input connected to provide a gated clock signal to provide one of said catch signal and sa...

This disclosure relates to a method of forming an integral container and carrying handle by extruding a tube of plastic material, forming a first portion of the tube into an inverted generally U-shaped handle, forming another portion of the tube into a container body having a neck spanned by the handle, and removing waste material from between the handle and the neck to form the inner outline of the handle and form an opening of the neck.

Disclosed is a starter for AC-fed low-pressure discharge lamps that are operated on a series inductor. The starter comprises a glow fuse, a high-temperature conductor (NTC resistor) that is serially connected to the glow fuse, and a resetting bimetal switch which is serially connected to the glow fuse and the high-temperature conductor and is in thermal contact therewith. The high-temperature conductor is provided with high resistance in a cold state, which is transformed into low resistance by ...

An arbiter circuit (100) can include a latch circuit (102) that latches competing input signals (MATCH1 and MATCH2) to generate signals on latch output (110-0 and 110-1). A filter section (104) can prevent metastable states of latch output signals from propagating through to output signals (BUSY2 and BUSY1). In addition, filter section (104) can generate output signals (BUSY2 and BUSY1) having one set of values when both inputs are inactive, and a second set of values when latch (102) is in the ...

A device is disclosed for providing compensation current continuously to compensate for leakage current at the node of an electrical circuit, such as a chip. The device includes a dummy storage cell, a single staged current mirror circuit and a non reconfigurable keeper circuit. The keeper can be used to compensate for a wide range of leakage corners where the internal storage is located. The adaptive keeper circuit not only increases the robustness of the storage node against leakage caused by ...

An arbiter circuit (100) can include a latch (106) that latches competing input signals (Req_A and Req_B) to generate latch output signals (latn1 and latn2). A filter section (108) can prevent metastable states of latch output signals (latn1 and latn2) from propagating through to output signals (Sel_A and Sel_B). If both input signals (Req_A and Req_B) are activated, a feedback circuit (110) can activate a feedback signal (fb) after a predetermined delay (.delta.), provided both output signals (...

A mannequin suitable for use as a hairdressing training tool including a head component, a hair portion, sensors for sensing undesirable characteristics such as high temperature or rapid movement, and signalling means for indicating the same to a user.

A ring cavity laser has at least two facets and a mechanism is provided to produce unidirectional propagation and light emission at a first wavelength. A source of laser light at a second wavelength is injected into the cavity to reverse the direction of propagation and to produce emission at the second wavelength.

A card edge connector (100) comprises an insulative housing (1) defining a central slot (10) with a plurality of contacts (2) by two sides. Two arms (3) are positioned at two opposite ends of the insulative housing. Each arm includes a plastic portion (30) and a metal portion (31) attached to the plastic potion. The plastic portion includes a locking lug (301) and a restraint head (302). The metal portion is retained to the housing and extends inwardly a guidance stud (316) and a stop tag (317) ...
