Patent number: 7156043Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for making a boat. The boat includes a port side positioned opposite from a starboard side. The boat also includes a floor and stingers supports positioned within the hull. The method includes providing a insert having two spaced-apart elongated portions interconnected by at least two spaced-apart transverse portions that extend between the elongated portions. The elongated portions are sized and relatively positioned for one of the elongated portions to extend along the port side of the hull and the other of the elongated portions to extend along the starboard side of the hull. The method also includes positioning the insert in a chamber defined between a male mold piece and a female mold piece. The method further includes providing fibrous reinforcing material that surrounds the insert within the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2005Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: VEC Industries, L.L.C.Inventors: Ronald C. Sahr, Michael D. Nelson, Robert L. Retka

Patent number: 6932618Abstract: An interconnect assembly to electrically interconnect one or more integrated circuits to an electronic device may comprise a base package to couple to a circuit board of the electronic device. A terminal mezzanine package may support the integrated circuit(s) above the base package. A first set of conductors of a first material and design carry low-frequency signals between the base and terminal connector packages. A second set of conductors of a second material and design carry high-frequency signals. In particular embodiments the base package may comprise a base mezzanine integrating one or more additional integrated circuits and intermediate mezzanines supporting one or more additional integrated circuits each and enabling multi-story modular interconnection structures. In particular embodiments, the second set of conductors may comprise columns of compressible polymer compound embedded with metallized particles, and the columns may be dispersed amongst pins and sockets of a pin-grid array.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Xilinx, Inc.Inventor: Michael D.

Publication number: 20040225879Abstract: A system for facilitating secure remote access to sensitive data is provided. The system includes a plurality of electronic devices. These electronic devices are under the control of an organization. The system also includes a data router. When the data router obtains sensitive data that is to be made available to remote clients, the data router secures the sensitive data and transmits the secured sensitive data over a first communication channel to an organization-controlled server. When the data router obtains other data that is to be made available to remote clients, the data router transmits the other data over the second communication channel to a third-party server.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2003Publication date: November 11, 2004Inventor: Michael D.
