  • Patent number: 7677995
    Abstract: An expandable arrow broadhead used for releasable attachment to one end of a hollow arrow shaft. The broadhead includes a sliding shaft with a pointed tip and tip base having two or more of cutting blades mounted thereon. Each of the blades includes an outer cutting edge and an inner edge with a beveled cam surface and locking notch therein. A portion of the sliding shaft is slidably received inside a hollow collar. The collar is attached to a sliding shaft housing. The sliding shaft housing is attached to an arrow shaft insert. The arrow shaft insert is adapted for receipt inside one end of the arrow shaft. In a retracted position, the blades are disposed next to and parallel to the length of the sliding shaft. When the pointed tip engages a target, the sliding shaft moves inwardly and rearwardly sliding inside the collar and inside a sliding shaft bore hole in the sliding shaft housing.

  • Patent number: 7594204
    Abstract: A method for designing a system on a target device utilizing field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) includes identifying a group of components associated with a critical signal in the system. A first copy and a second copy of the group of components are generated where the first copy is driven by a first signal at a first state and the second copy is driven by a second signal at a second state. The system is configured to select an output of one of the first copy and the second copy in response to the critical signal.
