    摘要: The protection circuit of the present invention addresses the problem of indeterminate logic levels caused by loss of one of the power supplies in a two-power-supply CMOS integrated circuit. The circuit of the present invention replaces the typical scheme of power supply sequencing to fix the problem. The circuit disclosed herein detects the state of the core voltage and disables the output drivers when the core voltage is detected as being off. The disabled drivers are put into a high impedance state, thereby eliminating the potential for damage and eliminating the need for power supply sequencing. The invention also protects against the sudden loss of the integrated circuit core voltage, VDD, power supply during normal operation.

    摘要: A system and method for ascertaining field position for the game of American football has first and second wheels, each being substantially planar and round. The first wheel is relatively smaller than the second wheel and the two are rotatably mounted coaxially with respect to each other to allow rotation. The wheels are marked with various notches, numbers, and arrows to allow quick and easy calculation of yards gained or lost on a given play in accordance with the described operation.
