Publication number: 20060168874Abstract: The fishing diver of the present invention has a diver body that has a top surface, a bottom surface, a front edge and a rear edge. The diver body is coated with a reflective coating with the exception of a coating free portion located approximately in the middle of the diver body. There is an attractor attachment means extending from the diver bottom surface for attaching a user selectable flasher attractor. A line to a fishing pole extends from the diver body front edge and a line to a hook or lure extends from the diver body rear edge. Light from above projects through the coating free portion of the diver body onto the attached flasher attractor below. A portion of the light reflects off the flasher attractor onto the bottom surface of the diver body and then in a downward direction; and another portion of the light reflects off the flasher attractor and in a more outward direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventor: Dennis Hull

Patent number: 6366622Abstract: An apparatus for receiving signals includes a low noise amplifier (LNA) configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal. An I/Q direct down converter is coupled to the LNA. The I/Q direct down converter is configured to split the RF signal into real and imaginary components and to down convert the real and imaginary components directly to baseband signals. A local oscillator (LO) is coupled to the I/Q direct down converter and is configured to drive the I/Q direct down converter. First and second filters are coupled to the I/Q direct down converter. The first and second filters are configured to filter the down converted real and imaginary components, respectively. First and second analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are coupled to the first and second filters, respectively. The first and second ADCs are configured to convert the real and imaginary components into digital signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1999Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Silicon Wave, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Joseph Brown, Andrew Xavier Estrada, Terrance R.

Patent number: 6268778Abstract: A method and apparatus for fully integrating a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) on an integrated circuit. The VCO is implemented using a differential-mode circuit design. The differential-mode implementation of the VCO preferably comprises a differential mode LC-resonator circuit, a digital capacitor, a differential pair amplifier, and a current source. The LC-resonator circuit includes at least one tuning varactor and two high Q inductors. The tuning varactor preferably has a wide tuning capacitance range. The tuning varactor is only used to “fine-tune” the center output frequency f0 of the VCO. The center output frequency f0 is coarsely tuned by the digital capacitor. The VCO high Q inductors comprise high gain, high self-resonance, and low loss IC inductors. The IC VCO is fabricated on a high resistivity substrate material using a trench isolated guard ring.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1999Date of Patent: July 31, 2001Assignee: Silicon Wave, Inc.Inventors: Lars Henrik Mucke, Christopher Dennis Hull, Lars Gustaf Jansson

Patent number: 6211745Abstract: A method and apparatus for digitally controlling the capacitance of an integrated circuit device using MOS-FET devices. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a one-bit or “binary” varactor is presented wherein the gate-to-bulk capacitance of the MOS-FET device exhibits dependency to a D.C. voltage applied between its gate and well implant regions. The capacitance-voltage characteristic of the binary capacitor has three major regions: (1) a first relatively flat region having little or no voltage dependency and having a capacitance equal to a first low capacitance of C1; (2) a sloped region wherein a voltage dependency exists; and (3) a second relatively flat region where there is little or no voltage dependency and where the capacitance equals a second higher capacitance of C2. The capacitance of the binary capacitor can be changed from C1 to C2 simply by changing the polarity of the applied D.C. voltage from a positive to a negative value.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1999Date of Patent: April 3, 2001Assignee: Silicon Wave, Inc.Inventors: Lars Henrik Mucke, Christopher Dennis Hull, Lars Gustaf Jansson
