  • Patent number: 9899960
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a cascode circuit electrically coupled between an amplifier configured to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal and different loads. The cascode circuit can function as a switch to selectively provide an output from the amplifier to a number of different loads. In certain embodiments, the cascode circuit can be electrically coupled between different stages of a multi-stage power amplifier. For instance, the amplifier can be a first stage of the multi-stage power amplifier and the different loads can include different power amplifier transistors of a second stage of the multi-stage amplifier. The cascode circuit can be implemented by bipolar transistors according to certain embodiments.

  • Publication number: 20040043170
    Abstract: The invention regards a plastic comprising a level of detectable 8-Nonenal ranging from about 0 to about 400 ppt. Preferably, the plastic is substantially free of perceptible off flavor. Also, in one execution the plastic is used to form a package (e.g., a food and/or beverage bearing package). The package may be constructed of a monolayer of plastic material. Typically, about 20 to about 100% of the package comprises from about 0 to about 1900 ppt of 8-Nonenal. Preferably, the level of the 8-Nonenal of a stored food or beverage product stored in the package for 7 days at a temperature of 150° F. ranges from about 0 to about 400 ppt as measured in a grouping of representative packages with product therein.

  • Patent number: 6659466
    Abstract: A throwing game and goal therefor. At least two skeletal frame members and netlike coverings therefor are provided. Each of the skeletal frame members defines a frontal area encompassed by the respective covering. The frontal area encompassed by one of the skeletal frame members is less than the frontal area encompassed by the other skeletal frame member, and the two skeletal frame members are substantially overlappingly disposed with respect to each other so that the respective netlike coverings form higher point and a lower point goal zones.
