Patent number: 11929215Abstract: An improved capacitor is provided wherein the capacitor has an improved bond between the anode and anode wire. The anode comprises a pressed anode powder comprising a first density region and a second density region wherein the second density region has a higher density than the first density region. An anode wire extends into the second density region wherein the anode wire in the second density region is distorted by compression. This allows for better utilization of the metal powder surface area by allowing a lower bulk press density and lower sinter temperature while still achieving the necessary wire pull strength. In addition, this invention when utilized with deoxidation steps, results in sufficient wire pull strengths not possible otherwise.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: KEMET Electronics CorporationInventors: Christian L. Guerrero, Jeffrey Poltorak, Yuri Freeman, Steve C. Hussey, Chris Stolarski

Patent number: 11503815Abstract: A cast net support apparatus including a mouthguard assembly and a cast net assembly is disclosed. These assemblies in conjunction with one another provide an easy-to-use casting net solution. The mouthguard assembly includes a mouthguard that is detachably tethered to the cast net assembly. The mouthguard includes a tether that is fastened to a rod. The rod is then inserted into a buoyant cast net support attachment that is in turn fastened to a net. When the user prepares the net for casting, they will grip the mouthguard that is tethered to the net edge in their mouth. Thereby affording them better support of the net before casting. The better support allows for a further and more accurate cast of the net. As the user casts the net the mouthguard tether detaches from the net leaving the user with the mouthguard in the user's mouth.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Inventors: Cory Freeman, Jeffrey Freeman

Patent number: 11314686Abstract: An integrated circuit is disclosed that includes a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM) configured for storing data and CPU executable instructions, a first peripheral circuit for accessing memory that is external to the integrated circuit, a second peripheral circuit, and a communication bus coupled to the CPU, the RAM, the first peripheral circuit and the second peripheral circuit. The second peripheral circuit includes a first preload register configured to receive and store a first preload value, a first register configured to store first information that directly or indirectly identifies a first location where first instructions of a first task can be found in memory that is external to the integrated circuit, and a counter circuit that includes a counter value. The counter circuit can increment or decrement the counter value with time when the counter circuit is started. A first compare circuit is also included and can compare the counter value to the first preload value.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Michael Rohleder, George Adrian Ciusleanu, David Allen Brown, Jeffrey Freeman
