Abstract: This present invention relates a beverage container carrier comprising a cylindrical vessel receiver for receiving a beverage container, one or more of a tension tab, and one or more of a tension fin. When a beverage container is inserted into the cylindrical vessel receiver it contacts the tension fin. The tension fin and tension tab flex outward creating space within the cylindrical vessel receiver for the beverage container and applying retaining pressure to the beverage container holding it securely within the cylindrical vessel receiver. In exemplary embodiments, the beverage container carrier further comprises a handle slot proximate to the open-top rim for receiving the beverage container handle, and an attachment panel having concealed magnet retention slots. One or more magnets are secured in each of the magnet retention slots and orientated such that the magnets secure the beverage container carrier to ferrous metal objects.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided that uses a simple voltage ratio technique to supply specific voltages to a voltage variable attenuator, and the gates of a GaAs RF power amplifier in order to control the efficiency of the amplifier. The output of the power amplifier is sampled and then fed back to the variable voltage attenuator as a control signal. A ratio portion of the control signal is then used to control the gate biases of the power amplifier. When the power requirements are less than maximum, the voltage ratio will become more negative, resulting in less current. As the RF output increases, the voltage ratio will become more positive. Therefore, as the DC voltage varies, the power amplifier's output power will vary accordingly providing the desired output power with enhanced efficiency.
