Abstract: Disclosed is an improved field effect transistor (FET) employing both a metal-semiconductor (MES) gate and a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) gate, which FET is particularly useful to provide amplification at microwave frequencies. The use of the MIS gate with appropriate biasing allows the carrier density within a selected portion of the device's channel region to be controlled. The carrier density control increases the breakdown voltage of the FET and enables the FET to be operated with higher maximum channel current and a higher drain to source voltage. As a result, higher output power is provided as compared to prior art MESFET devices of a similar size. Also disclosed is an amplifier circuit including the MES/MIS FET of the preset invention, which amplifier circuit further includes means coupled to the MES/MIS FET for dividing a high frequency input signal to provide a first divided portion and a second divided portion.

Abstract: A fluid delivery device for delivery and mixing of fibrin glue components at a treatment site during surgery includes a slidable sleeve for controlling interaction of fluid dispensed from a pair of adjacent tubes. A pair of syringes are attached to a fluid separation control attachment which allows the fluids from each of the syringes to be forced into the adjacent tubes. When the fluids exit the free ends of the adjacent tubes, they interact and mix when the slidable sleeve thereon is in one position, but are inhibited from interacting and mixing when the slidable sleeve is in another position.
