  • 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.
