  • Patent number: 9754948
    Abstract: A non-volatile programmable memory cell suitable for use in a programmable logic array includes a non-volatile MOS transistor of a first conductivity type in series with a volatile MOS transistor of a second conductivity type. The non-volatile MOS transistor may be a floating gate transistor, such as a flash transistor, or may be another type of non-volatile transistor such as a floating charge-trapping SONOS, MONOS transistor, or a nano-crystal transistor. A volatile MOS transistor, an inverter, or a buffer may be driven by coupling its gate or input to the common connection between the non-volatile MOS transistor and the volatile MOS transistor.

  • Patent number: 8844588
    Abstract: A head cover for a golf club includes a first surface having a removable cleaning pad thereon, and a second surface on which at least one golf accessory constructed of a ferrous metal is removably attached thereto. The second surface is part of a tri-layer construction with magnets forming the second middle layer so as to so retain the golf accessory thereon. The cleaning pad is removed by the golfer from the first surface and includes a scrubbing area to remove grit and/or debris from one of a golf ball and a golf club face.

  • Patent number: 6923456
    Abstract: In a shopping cart, which is nestable into a preceding, similarly constructed cart and into which a following, similarly constructed cart is nestable, a chassis has front and rear casters including two rear, transversely spaced casters and has two generally longitudinal members, each extending along one side of the chassis, on which two camming elements are mounted. A transversely extending member is mounted to and bridges the longitudinal members. The transversely extending member is adapted to be upwardly cammed by the camming elements of a following, similarly constructed cart, which is being nested into the shopping cart, so as to elevate the rear casters of the shopping cart.

  • Publication number: 20050157628
    Abstract: Improvements in the shape of three-dimensional features displayed in optical recording structures, particularly in such structures displaying features of differing dimensional characteristics. The shape improvements include reductions in berm height and width, dual level data marks and tracking guides, and land areas projecting above or into the surface of the recording structure.

  • Patent number: 6732377
    Abstract: Relaxation of grip during a golf stroke is restrained by hook-to-loop adhesion between fabric (5) covering the golf-club handle (3) and fabric elements (11-14) attached to the golfer's gloves (1, 2). The handle-covering fabric (5) has hook-ended threads and is wrapped around the handle (3) directly (or helically (25) FIG. 5). Loop-fabric patches (11, 13) are attached to the tips of the glove-thumbs (15, 21), and loop-fabric elements (12, 14) extend across the palms (16, 22) at the base of the fingers (17-20, 23, 24). Change of grip is signaled by a tearing sound as hook-loop engagement is broken at either glove (1, 2). An alternative pair of gloves ((21, 32), FIGS. 6-10) includes a palm-located fabric element (38) augmenting adhesion of the lower glove (31) with the handle (3), and mutally-adhering fabric elements (34, 39) of opposite thread types for restraining relaxation of the upper glove (32) from where it overlies the lower glove (31).

  • Patent number: 5908172
    Abstract: A spool for filamentary material such as optical fibers and others consists of two members which are locked together to form a drum with two opposed flanges defining a winding space. The two members may be separated to allow material wound on the drum to be removed at will. After the material is removed, the two parts may be locked again making the spool reusable.
