  • Patent number: 6789350
    Abstract: A trolling planer board made of lightweight translucent material has a continuous light source for night fishing and a day or night easily perceptible strike indicator. The light, indicator, and their power supply are housed in a watertight compartment away from the elements and fishing lines. The strike indicator may comprise a blinking light, a strobe light, a sound, or any other alerting mechanism. Fishing line releases comprise only three moldable pieces, made of weather impervious material and can be used to maintain a hold on the fishing line or to release it, as desired. The planer, made of weather impervious material and having no exposed accessory parts that are sensitive to the elements, can be used in fresh or salt water. The planer's hydrodynamic design eliminates the need for planning board rods and heavy test lines and the weight of the power supply eliminates any need for additional weights.

  • Patent number: 6031720
    Abstract: A cooling system for a semiconductor die carrier is disclosed that includes a cooling fan disposed at a substantial distance from a semiconductor die carrier, a cooling duct including an inlet portion and an outlet portion, and a heat exchanger disposed on an upper surface of the semiconductor die carrier. The cooling duct inlet portion is attached to the cooling fan and the cooling duct outlet portion is disposed in close proximity to the heat exchanger. The cooling fan draws ambient air into the cooling duct and the ambient air exits the cooling duct outlet portion and passes in a heat exchange relationship with the heat exchanger.
