Patent number: 9200862Abstract: A wristband slingshot that can be used to launch projectiles. The invention preferably has two holes on either end designed to fit a user's fingers. The finger holes are used to stretch the device between two of the user's fingers so a projectile can be launched from the center, which has an increased area—acting as a pouch. The center section with increased area, or pouch, preferably contains grooves and a hole in the center in order to grip and center a projectile. While the main function of the current invention is to act as a projectile launcher, it is designed to have multiple functions. The device preferably comprises a clasping mechanism that is integrated into finger holes already contained in the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Inventors: Dallas Turner, Jeff Phipps, Jeff Mitchell

Patent number: 8278964Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing and characterizing circuits is provided. In one embodiment, a high-speed interface of a semiconductor component includes high-speed test circuitry. The high-speed test circuitry obviates the need for an external high-speed testing system for testing and characterization. In one embodiment, the high-speed test circuitry includes a test pattern generation circuit, and various differential comparators to compare low bandwidth reference signals with interface signals during testing and characterization. In one embodiment, an interface that includes the test circuitry can test itself or another interface. In one embodiment, a timing reference signal decouples the individual parameters of two interfaces testing each other to avoid any errors introduced by the combination of individual interface circuit parameters, such as receiver parameters and transmitter parameters. The testing can be performed at the wafer stage, at the component stage, and in a system.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Frederick Ware, Scott Best, Timothy Chang, Richard Perego, Ely Tsern, Jeff Mitchell

Publication number: 20120102702Abstract: Tools are provided to facilitate the removal and installation of first and second check valves from backflow prevention devices. A tool for a first check valve includes a frame having a straight central portion with a plurality of leg portions extending from the central portion. The leg portions can be configured such that, when the tool is brought into engagement with a first check valve, each leg potion can be at least partially received in a respective recess on the base of a first check valve. A tool for a second check valve can include a plurality of arms. The arms can be configured so that, when the tool is brought into engagement with a second check valve, each arm can engage a respective pin provided on the base of a second check valve. The tools can be adapted to be engaged by another tool, such as a socket wrench.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2011Publication date: May 3, 2012Inventor: Jeff Mitchell

Patent number: 8087405Abstract: A projectile launcher for launching soft projectiles. The projectile launcher features a pump assembly having a cylinder and piston. The piston includes a pump grip so that a pressure charge is generated when the user moves the piston. The pressure charge is released into a chamber which contains a soft projectile. The chamber includes a radius bend joining a projectile receiving orifice to a projectile discharging orifice. The pressure charge is introduced proximate the apex of the radius bend.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Inventor: Jeff Mitchell
