A curtain ring having a fragrance-releasing material mounted on its inner diameter. The material is selected so that the fragrance will only be released when the consumer opens or closes the curtain, that is, only when the material is rubbed against the curtain rod.

A surgical instrument stand useful for the compact organizing and counting of a plurality of ring-handled surgical instruments being held in a parallel and vertical position. The stand is formed of autoclavable polymeric material and embodies an elongated rectangular body with the lower portion or base having a top wall acting as a resting wall for the surgical instruments. Vertical compartments are formed from equal distant partitions thus holding the ring-handled surgical instruments in a vertical position for easy use and stability during surgery. An adhesive strip on the bottom stabilizes the stand in relation to other surfaces.

An apparatus and method for testing an access time of a macro embedded in a LSI chip. The apparatus includes a logical gate connected to the output latches of the macro, thereby controlling the access time of the macro, and a test latch for determining an on-chip delay time between a test signal for enabling the output latches and an input signal for enabling the macro. The method includes the steps of determining the on-chip delay time between the test signal and the input signal, thereby allowing the test signal to be synchronized with the input signal, supplying the synchronized test signal to the output latches for a manufacturer specified macro access time, and testing the latched output data from the macro.
