A dual ball valve straw lid assembly for a closed container is provided. The dual ball valve straw lid assembly includes one or more of a lid, a liquid ball, a vent ball, and a tube. The lid includes a top and a bottom, and the bottom is configured to attach to the closed container. Each of the liquid and vent balls are pivotably coupled to the lid top and each configured to rotate between open and closed positions. The vent ball is configured to rotate in response to the liquid ball rotates. The tube extends from the lid bottom to within the closed container, and allows liquid in the closed container to be accessed by suction force applied to the liquid ball in the open position. When open, the vent ball allows air to pass between outside and inside the closed container when in the open position.

An inertial temperature control system and method are provided for changing the temperature of a body between two temperatures such that the ending temperature is reached smoothly without substantial temperature overshoot or oscillation. A temperature control algorithm is fed a set point temperature that accelerates and decelerates at a physically attainable rate.

A system and method of minimizing stress related to the ramp rate of a variable by limiting the ramp rate as a function of the current value of the variable is provided. More specifically, the present invention provides a system and method of maintaining the radial delta temperature of a semiconductor substrate or other heated body below the crystal slip curve by dynamically controlling the temperature ramp rate during processing.

A rotating bicycle shoe cleat consisting of an outer stationary structure and an inner, rotating structure. The stationary structure has front and rear locking portions which allow rigid engagement to a spring loaded clipless bicycle pedal. The rotary structure is mounted on the sole of a bicycle shoe. The two structures share a common axis of rotation. This common axis allows the rotary structure to pivot within the stationary structure when there is a dynamic lateral rotational force present. The amount of rotation is controlled by suitably located compression pads and limiting embrasures. In addition, the compression pads act as dampers. In all other respects, the rotating bicycle shoe cleat functions as a standard bicycle shoe cleat.
