  • Standing watercraft with torso-mounted paddles
    Patent number: 8845372
    Abstract: An apparatus for floatation and propulsion of a user on a body of water includes a floatation device, a harness and a pair of paddles. The harness attaches to the user's torso and the paddles have upper ends that pivotally interconnect with the harness. The paddles have lower water engaging ends that may be moved in a paddling motion in a generally fore-aft direction relative to the harness.

  • In-system programmable interconnect circuit
    Patent number: 6034541
    Abstract: A programmable interconnect circuit includes multiple input/output cells, each corresponding to an input/output pin, and a global routing resource for routing signals received at the input pins to be output as output signals at output and bi-directional pins. The signals routed in the global routing resource can include multiplexer control signals, clock signals and output enable signals for controlling dynamic signal switching. The global routing resource allows high static routability.
