Paris Chic at the Sofitel Trocadero Dokhan's
Charming, tasteful, elegant, the Sofitel Trocadero is more akin to a stately private home than hotel. And yet, the Sofitel Trocadero is as sumptuous and grand as any luxury hotel in Paris. A temple to luxury in neoclassical style, the Haussmann-style building houses 41 rooms and 4 suites, each room uniquely (and impeccably) styled with period antiques and plush fabrics. And in a city known for its compact hotel rooms, the bathrooms here are perfectly spacious. Located between the Trocadero and the Arc de Triomphe, the hotel is home to the only champagne bar in Paris to also offer light meals.

Thanksgiving is one of the most exciting days of the NFL seasons, as it boasts some of the best teams in action, while marking the beginning of the stretch run of the regular season.
This year, the NFL has some of the best games in decades.
At 12:30 PM ET, divisional rivals clash in a meeting that could decide playoff seeding. The undefeated Packers meet the revived Lions at Ford Field.

At 8:20 PM ET, two of the best teams in football meet, as the playoff-bound 49ers meet the hard-hitting Ravens.

Top 10 Balance Type Beybladesnightblazer534
The Top TenXW
Earth Eagle is number one because of it's stamina, and defense. Don't judge it cause it's attack it is really good it beat my friend's best bey rock scorpio and his dark serpent that we have been training so if you have a Earth Eagle you are very very lucky like me cause when I first got it could not be beaten and you can have him to if you got to ToysRUs.com and look for the metal wing smash 2 pack collection it comes with dark libra and The King Earth Eagle.
Its wide defense performance tip is wickedly awesome and it has a solid earth fusion wheel
I definitely recommend using Earth Eagle. I even won with it in a tournament and was crowned first out of 20. This Beyblade is the best to my opinion because of the fusion wheel and the WD performance tip
I don't think is good he loses to everyoneV53 Comments
This Beyblade has very good stamina and balance plus this bey also has two modes attack and defense so you can change your battle in between battles.
I'm just getting this guy 2 morrow 2012 1/7 its pretty good at balance plus it has 2 modes "attack" mode "Defense" mode so yes this guy is good please do make this guy the king/queen of the peacocks
I have an evil befall and so far it is one of my best beys
Just because it has two modes and one is attack, it wouldn't be called a balance type bey, still a stamina type.V13 Comments
Dark Bull should be closer to first. I K.O. ed Earth Eagle very easily without any practice with Dark Bull. It isn't the best bey ever but it is pretty darn good. How in the world he is fifth I really cannot understand. He is fifth of ALL beys on my list. I have only two beys that are the first on the attack list and first on the defense list that can beat him.
Dark bull is a balance type my friend and I were playing he chose dark bull I chose gravity destroyer dark bull beat 5 other Beyblades in 2 seconds dark bull should be the best
Vote for dark bull! It's so good and it can beat my meteo l drago and my friends super deck libra. It was my first bey and I just love it.
Combines stamina and a little bit of attack.V8 Comments
Big bang pegasis is the most awesome bey! When I launched it it broke my brothers bey into half!
He called cosmic pegasus so I will say it the best Beyblade in the universe
The best bey of all! Not just attack, but defense is good too.
Pegasis and pegasus are the bestV11 Comments
I like Flame Byxis also is because of its 230 spin track. Its very tall and other beys is not able to reach its spin track which can receive the most damage. And Flame Byxis is like a compass as its sticker says so, which is so cool-looking! I don't know how to describe it, but, I surely recommend this bey because not all beys like that tall but I did not say that no other beys is like that tall, example flash saggitario. But I still recommend Byxis, is worth buying.
FLAME BYXIS ROCKS! YOU HAVE GOT TO BUY HIM. I have him and he beat my earth eagle, meteo l drago, and killer beafowl.
If he beat l drago, it cam beat any kind of Beyblade. I wish I hade a byxis myself, but I cannot find any cheap ones on eBay, in stores, or on any other websites.
He is awesome he can attack from above and has pretty big stamina power please getV21 Comments
Okay, all of you who voted for Earth Eagle are morons. Earth Eagle is defense, not balance! Diablo Nemesis is arguably the best beyblade there is, not to mention it's mode change. One form gives it boosted attack, and the other gives it great balance. In anime as well as real life, Diablo Nemesis is THE best blade you can get.
This bey could beat every one on the list! Rock aries, earth virgo, hades kerbecs, rock leone, and grand cetus aren't even balence! Vote for nemesis!
It is the best balance type Beyblade. It is heavy so it carries defense and its fusion wheel acts like attack. Its x is the most speciality of diablo nemesis. It can change mode from attack to stamina and stamina to attack in few seconds without knowing opponents
Diablo nemesis is the best manV41 Comments
This bey is better than that stupid Poison Serpent SW145SD. The RS tip that it has makes it hard to knock over and KO. I would recommend this bey to everyone. The white one is better and you should get it.
I bought grand cetus a few days ago and it beat loads of my other Beyblades. Its tip rs is top tier and is highly recommended that all bladers own this bey. Even though its tip is made of rubber it still spins for over 4minutes. Please vote for grand cetus.
Grand Cetus is a defense type Beyblade
Grand Cetus still is pretty good ( both of them) I recommend grand Cetus WD145RS because of it's awesome spin track
It is a defense Beyblade.V4 Comments
I don't allow this! I don't allow this because tedsuuya wateragaame is a greatest cheater in beyblade so I don't allow this
Who think I am correct please thumbs up! And it is better for him to be in 10th not in the 6th but even better is for him to become in the last
Meteo l-drago beat twisted temple, earth eagle and strom Pegasus
The only thing bad abiut meteo l drago is it's balance, but you can customize it to give it better stamina and balance!
Meteo ldrago can beat everyone because of its rubber which is absorbing - ahazV3 Comments
Rock leone is my strongest it even beat my phantom orion and he's legendary
This is the best ever it should be #1
"Rock Leone is so strong it was able to beat dark helm
He is the bestV5 Comments
The Contenders
Flame Libra is a king. Its eternal sharp tip allows it to have great balance and stamina
It has amazing balance and stamina and should be at the top of this list
Flame libra is so x COOl! With his enteral sharp praformance tip it's able to move freely so libra should be on the top #1!V2 Comments
Amazing bey should at least be top ten yeah balance types do get out classed but this is the best balance type it destroyed my rock and fang Leone but it only did it once and beat my Diablo nemisis and Big Bang and galaxy by its really good stamina it's attack is not the best but it take hit like a defense type for sure
A good balance type bey. The metal wheel 'Dark' is superb for balance type customizations. It can beat most Beyblades. However, if your going to buy a dark wolf I recommend a recolored version.
My Wolf defeated Tempo a few times but Tempo won back several times. At least Wolf has got much power sometimes.
An excellent balance type beyV12 Comments
The perfect balance of upper attack and stamina. The w130 spin track allows for it to be a competent mid height attacker.
Thermal lacerta has the best attack and stamina and it beat my cousins Rock leone and his gravity destroyer
The best bey I plead you to vote this as every one knows that thermal lasis is the best balance type.
My Thermal Lacerta easily beats my cousin's Hades kerbecs. That proves how strong it is.V6 Comments
Poison serpent is a good beyblade it can out last my burfireblaze in stamina and it beat my cyber Pegasuses when it kept attacking it and it didn't stop
Yeah baby poison serpent is so cool then other balance type Beyblades because it is strong and cool. We can change its spin track from attack to defense. And the cool thing is when it attacks it never stops.
Cobras rule! Also, perseus is a defense type. Get your facts straight! Though it is niceto see that somebody knows what type of bey earth eagle is
I think Poison Serpent is the best because it got a cool nameV3 Comments
Hades kerbecs is the best. It can defeat gravity destroyer, rock leone, galaxy pegasus, burn fireblaze etc. I don't know why it is 12.
Hell Kerbecs RULES! He owns the stadium and has excellent stamina and balance and is super strong in boost mode
This bey is just superb... Got in from the set of team star breaker
It is the best Beyblade of all. It should be in the top of the list.V11 Comments
Are you kidding me!?! It's only at 17? This site is like broken, Pegasus l dragon and Libra aren't even balance types! This bey is probably the best balance type I've ever seen, it's two modes are good features and although it's tip can loose spin pretty fast it is also a very powerful tip, it can attack decently when on the rubber part but when it rolls on the plastic it can have a very aggressive and powerful attack style
This should be at least be in top 5 because it has 2 modes attack mode and defense mode and even the defense mode can knock beys out of the stadium
Just change the performance tip and its one of the best. You've got to have serious power to beat twisted tempo.
This the best beyV9 Comments
It can change between three heights, 170, 195 and 220. It also has one of the best attack type fusion wheels in the whole of the franchise with excellent smash attack. I have this beyblade and it beats earth eagle, killer beafowl and hell kerbecs (by the way kerbecs is stamina). In fact the only balance type better than it is diablo nemesis.
Beat Lynx is a super awesome beyblade and it the ultimate Balance type beyblade on Google. The special move. I came up with for Beat lynx is Ferocious Demolition Scratch. Its where Beat Lynx smash's the bladers beyblade's around with its Big claws.
I have beat lynx. He beat every beyblade I battled you really have to buy beat lynx!
His metal wheel has two little spikes. One is attack and one is balance GOTTA BUY HIM HE the BEST
It is the best - hamdanV4 Comments
It extremely hard to beat but fury capricorne100 HF just managed to beat using it low height so make sure you not going up against fury capricorne who is owned by a good blader with burn fireblaze
He is so cool he beat earth eagle and ray stricker, pegases and l dragoV2 Comments
It's higher weight causes greater deflection than earth eagle.
I HAVE ALMOST EVERY BEY IN HISTORY BUT MY BASALT HOROGIUM IS UNDEFEATED AND IT IS THE HEAVIEST BEY IN Beyblade HISTORY.
This Beyblade is unbeatable, it defeated all the top 10 on this list as well as hell kerbecs, all the Pegasus and the L-dragos, trust me when I say that it is the best!V1 Comment

My interest in making art quilts was jump-started by seeing my dear friend Sara take a variety of patterned fabrics, cut them into pieces and combine them in such an artistic way. As a life-long sewer (having experienced my first sewing triumph with a skating skirt I made in Girl Scouts), I took to quilting quickly. One of the great thrills with this art form is that my options are as infinite as those of a painter working on canvas landscapes, portraits, geometric patterns, abstract impressions, etc. I enjoy both the deep American roots of traditional quilting and the unlimited possibilities today's art quilts present. Combining elements of both extremes is great fun, as I often use contemporary fabrics in century-old traditional quilt patterns.
My art quilts have been on display in multiple art shows and quilt shows as well as more than a dozen times in national quilt magazines ("Quilters Newsletter" magazine and "Quiltmaker") and in one book (Ricky Tims' "Kool Kaleidoscopes").
While I have no formal art training, I have taken some wonderful classes over the years. However I know my greatest learning has come in the estimated 10,000+ hours Ive spent making more than 100 art quilts to date. And its exciting to realize that there seems to be no end to this learning curve.
To see more of my work, please visit www.tinacurran.com and/or tinacurran.etsy.com.
This pattern is for a very cheerful quilt that gets raves wherever I show it. I like the mix of the styles of the flowers I used in this composition -- with some more realistic, some quite cartoonish, and the rest somewhere in between. And the rays of sun coming in from the corner is reminiscent of children's drawings. Please know that this pattern is instructions how to make a similar quilt/fabric collage. The look of the quilt will vary given the flower fabrics you already own or can obtain and how you fussy cut the flower heads. This is not a kit nor a finished quilt, but instructions on how to make a quilt that looks like this one using your own floral fabrics. There are no templates.
In case you are interested, a larger version of this quilt juried into the 2011 Road to California quilt show, won the Best Use of Color cash prize at the 2011 Glendale (CA) Quilt Guild quilt show, was featured in the April/May 2011 issue of "Quilters Newsletter" magazine and then went on a year-long national tour, including stops at the International Quilt Festivals in Houston, Cincinnati and Long Beach, CA before it was sold to a collector who lives outside of Perth, Australia. I wrote the pattern to teach some of my fellow Glendale Quilt Guild members how to make the quilt and now am offering it more widely as others have asked for it. I hope you enjoy both the process and the end result.

The school bus industry has grown right along with the needs of those responsible to maintain fleets of school buses. With all the new technology on board school buses you cannot afford someone not qualified to be working on expensive equipment. The days are gone when all you needed was basic mechanical skills. Try working with computer systems with electrical issues, mechanical issues, ghost code issues or simply bad batteries. You still have to utilize a diagnostic tree approach to solve the problems. This example given - any electrical issues always test the vehicle's batteries first, then connections and so on. With multiplex electrical wiring and the vehicles basic wiring you have to have access to the bus manufacturer's proprietary information to be able to properly diagnose a problem. One quick issue I ran into was a computer had to be replaced. A technician with a laptop had to set up and flash the replacement computer at installation. Now the vehicle would run. Technician left. The vehicle had new codes showing up now. It ended up having a 6 cylinder program being loaded into the computer instead of a V-8 program. Even when the technician returned he showed the V-8 program was on the computer yet it showed up as a 6 cylinder program. Anything can happen usually does. If you haven't been for training lately - then consider it is time to go. Dan - Indiana.

The present application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 10/923,693, filed Aug. 24, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,297,995, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The invention relates generally to an improved isolation structure for high density integrated circuits and, in particular, to an improved isolation region for an image sensor and a process for its formation.
CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) imagers are increasingly being used as low cost imaging devices. A CMOS imager circuit includes a focal plane array of pixel cells, each one of the cells including a photosensor, for example, a photogate, photoconductor or a photodiode overlying a substrate for accumulating photo-generated charge in the underlying portion of the substrate. A readout circuit is connected to each pixel cell and includes at least pixel selecting field effect transistor formed in the substrate and a charge storage region formed on the substrate connected to the gate of a transistor coupled to the pixel selecting transistor. The charge storage region may be constructed as a floating diffusion region. The imager may include at least one electronic device such as a transistor for transferring charge from the photosensor to the storage region and one device, also typically a transistor, for resetting the storage region to a predetermined charge level prior to charge transference.
In a so-called four-transistor (4T) CMOS imager, the active elements of a pixel cell perform the necessary functions of (1) photon to charge conversion; (2) accumulation of image charge; (3) resetting the storage region to a known state before the transfer of charge to it; (4) transfer of charge to the storage region accompanied by charge amplification; (5) selection of a pixel for readout; and (6) output and amplification of a signal representing a reset voltage and a signal representing pixel charge. Photo charge may be amplified when it moves from the initial charge accumulation region to the storage region. The charge at the storage region is typically converted to a pixel output voltage by a source follower output transistor.
Exemplary CMOS imaging circuits, processing steps thereof, and detailed descriptions of the functions of various CMOS elements of an imaging circuit are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,140,630, U.S. Pat. No. 6,376,868, U.S. Pat. No. 6,310,366, U.S. Pat. No. 6,326,652, U.S. Pat. No. 6,204,524, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,333,205, all assigned to Micron Technology, Inc. The disclosures of each of the foregoing are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
Trench isolation regions are an essential part of current fabrication methods for CMOS and other microelectronic circuits. The decreasing dimensions of devices and the increasing density of integration in microelectronic circuits have required a corresponding reduction in the size of isolation structures. This reduction places a premium on reproducible formation of structures that provide effective isolation, while also occupying a minimum amount of the substrate surface.
One isolation technique widely employed in semiconductor fabrication is the shallow trench isolation (STI) region. The STI technique forms trench isolation regions that electrically isolate the various active components formed in integrated circuits. In the STI technique, the first step is the formation of a plurality of trenches at predefined locations in the substrate. This occurs usually through anisotropic etching. After the etching is complete, the trenches are filled with an oxide to complete the STI structure. One major advantage of using the STI technique over the conventional LOCOS (Local Oxidation of Silicon) insulation technique is the high scalability to CMOS IC devices for fabrication at the sub-micron level of integration. Another advantage is that the STI technique helps prevent the occurrence of the so-called "bird's beak" encroachment, which is characteristic to the LOCOS technique.
In order to provide context for the present invention, a portion of a conventional CMOS image sensor cell 10 is illustrated in
Trench isolation regions 15 having sidewalls 16 and a bottom 17 are formed in a p-well active layer 94 and adjacent to the charge photodiode 21, to isolate the cell 10 from adjacent pixel cells. Trench isolation regions 15 are formed using known STI techniques. Specifically, the trenches 15 are etched by employing a dry anisotropic or other suitable etching process, and are filled with a dielectric such as a chemical vapor deposited (CVD) silicon dioxide (SiO2) or other known oxide. The filled trenches 15 are then planarized so that the dielectric remains only in the trenches and their top surface remains level with that of the silicon substrate 20.
As scaling continues to decrease the size of each device, such as pixel cell 10, isolation techniques become increasingly important. Traditional STI fabrication methods have several drawbacks that are intensified by desired scaling. STI regions, such as trench 15, have encountered processing problems such as void prevention, corner rounding, and gap fill. Several techniques have been devised in order to mitigate these negative effects which tend to reduce the isolation capabilities of the STI regions.
Another problem that pixel cells encounter due to scaling occurs when the spacing between the active areas of the pixels is decreased. The effect of the decrease in area is illustrated in
There is needed, therefore, an isolation region for use in imager pixels that prevents an electric field penetration between active areas of adjacent pixels without reducing the quantum efficiency of the pixels. There is also a need for a simple method of fabricating the desired isolation regions in pixels.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide an isolation region formed in a substrate and lined with a transparent metal layer. The isolation region provides isolation between adjacent active areas of an integrated circuit structure, for example the inventive region may provide isolation between pixels of a pixel array. Utilizing a transparent material maintains high quantum efficiency of the pixels as photons are not blocked from penetrating into the substrate. In one exemplary embodiment, a shallow trench isolation region is formed in a substrate, lined with an oxide or other dielectric, and an indium-tin-oxide shielding layer is formed over the oxide. The lined trench may then be filled with either the transparent metal material or a transparent insulating material.
Additional advantages and features of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description and drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention, in which:
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized, and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
The term "substrate" is to be understood as a semiconductor-based material including silicon, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) or silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) technology, doped and undoped semiconductors, epitaxial layers of silicon supported by a base semiconductor foundation, and other semiconductor structures. Furthermore, when reference is made to a "substrate" in the following description, previous process steps may have been utilized to form regions or junctions in the base semiconductor structure or foundation. In addition, the semiconductor need not be silicon-based, but could be based on silicon-germanium, germanium, or gallium arsenide.
The term "pixel" refers to a picture element unit cell containing a photosensor and transistors for converting light radiation to an electrical signal. For purposes of illustration, a representative pixel is illustrated in the figures and description herein and, typically, fabrication of all pixels in an imager and will proceed simultaneously in a similar fashion.
The term "metal" is intended to include not only elemental metal, but can include metal with other trace metals or in various alloyed combinations with other metals as known in the semiconductor art, as long as such alloy retains the physical and chemical properties of a metal. The term "metal" is also intended to include conductive oxides of such metals when appropriate to the context in which the metal is used.
Although the invention is described herein with reference to the architecture and fabrication of one pixel, it should be understood that this is representative of a plurality of pixels in an array of an imager device such as array 240 (
Referring now to the drawings, where like elements are designated by like reference numerals,
The exemplary pixel 100 also has a transfer transistor 130 formed at a top surface of the substrate 110. The transfer transistor 130 is adapted to transfer charges accumulated in the accumulation region 126 to a storage region 129, which may be a floating diffusion region. The transfer transistor 130 is formed of a dielectric layer 133 over a conductive gate electrode layer 132 over a gate oxide layer 131. Insulating sidewalls 134 are formed on the sides of the transistor gatestack. The gatestack materials may be any material known in the art and consistent with the materials specified for this invention.
The storage region 129 is doped n-type and is electrically connected to a gate of a source follower transistor 127 and a source/drain terminal of a reset transistor 135. The source follower transistor 127 provides an output signal to a row select transistor 137 having a gate for selectively gating the output signal to a pixel array column line 142. The reset transistor 135 resets the storage region 129 to a specified charge level Vrst before each charge transfer from the accumulation region 126 of the photosensitive element 188. Transistors 127, 137 are coupled in series, source to drain, with the drain of the source follower transistor 127 also coupled to a voltage source Vdd and the source of the row select transistor 137 that is used to selectively connect the pixel cell 100 to readout circuitry via output line 142.
Adjacent either side of the photosensitive element 188 is an isolation region 150. Each isolation region 150 is an isolation trench having sidewalls 159 and a bottom 158 formed in the p-well 194 of the substrate 110. Each isolation region 150 is illustratively a shallow trench isolation (STI) region. The isolation region 150 contains a dielectric layer 161, which is illustratively lining both the sidewalls 159 and the bottom 158 of the trench. The dielectric layer 161 may be formed of any dielectric material, such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), and the layer 161 may be thin, within the range of about 30 to about 200 Angstroms, typically about 60 Angstroms. A transparent metal layer 162 is formed in the isolation region 150 over the dielectric layer 161. The transparent metal layer 162 is illustrated as covering both the sidewalls 159 and the bottom 158 of the trench. It should be understood, however, that other embodiments of the transparent metal layer 162, such as the transparent metal layer 162 only covering the sidewalls 159, are also within the scope of the invention. In a preferred embodiment, the transparent metal layer 162 is formed of indium tin oxide, however, any conductive material that is transparent to photons is appropriate for use in the invention. The remainder of the isolation region 150 is a filler layer 149. The filler layer 149 may be a transparent dielectric material, such as an oxide; or alternatively, the filler layer 149 may be the same material as the transparent conductive layer 162 or formed of a different transparent conductive material from that of layer 162. The layers 149, 161, 162 of the isolation region 150 are planarized so that the layers are coplanar with a top surface of the substrate 110.
A terminal contact 157 is connected to the transparent metal layer 162 of each isolation region 150. The terminal contact 157 is used to apply a voltage to the transparent metal layer 162, as desired. For example, for use with an NMOS transfer transistor 130, it may be desirable to apply a slightly negative voltage to the transparent metal layer 162 in order to create a hole accumulation region surrounding the isolation region 150. Alternatively, when used with a PMOS transfer transistor 130, the voltage applied would be slightly positive. The applied voltages may be within the range of +/−300 mV, for example. In most instances, however, and especially when the isolation region 150 is incorporated into the periphery of a pixel array, the voltage applied to the transparent metal layer 162 will be used to maintain the isolation region 150 at ground potential. The voltage applied to the isolation region 150 could also be positive or negative when the region 150 is located in the periphery, depending again on whether it is in an NMOS or PMOS region. The appropriate voltage is determined by a mitigation of field lines (see

If the transparent metal material does not fill the entire trench 150 a, 150 b, a filling step is necessary, and is illustrated in
At this stage, the isolation regions 150 are complete, and other processing steps are carried out to complete formation of the pixel 100. For example, each of the transistors, 130, 135, 127, and 127 may be formed using techniques as known in the art. Accumulation region 126 and charge storage region 129 may be formed by doping the region of the substrate 110 with n-type dopants. Additionally, p-wells 194 and p+ surface region 124 may be formed by doping the areas of the substrate 110 with an appropriate p− type dopant to a desired concentration.
The CMOS imager 308 is operated by the timing and control circuit 250, which controls address decoders 255, 270 for selecting the appropriate row and column lines for pixel readout. The control circuit 250 also controls the row and column driver circuitry 245, 260 such that they apply driving voltages to the drive transistors of the selected row and column lines. The pixel column signals, which typically include a pixel reset signal (Vrst) and a pixel image signal (Vsig), are read by a sample and hold circuit 261. Vrst is read from a pixel 100 immediately after the charge storage region 115 (
The processor-system 1100, for example a camera system, generally comprises a central processing unit (CPU) 1102, such as a microprocessor, that communicates with an input/output (I/O) device 1106 over a bus 1104. Imaging device 308 also communicates with the CPU 1102 over the bus 1104. The processor system 1100 also includes random access memory (RAM) 1110, and can include removable memory 1115, such as flash memory, which also communicates with CPU 1102 over the bus 1104. Imaging device 308 may be combined with a processor, such as a CPU, digital signal processor, or microprocessor, with or without memory storage on a single integrated circuit or on a different chip than the processor.
The above description and drawings are only to be considered illustrative of exemplary embodiments which achieve the features and advantages of the invention. Modification of, and substitutions to, specific process conditions and structures can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing description and drawings, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Denard Robinson is a nightmare to stop, a whirl of dreadlocks leaving behind defenders who shake their heads in awe and wonder how he got away.
Teams have tried to take away the Michigan quarterback's running ability, and he still finds holes. Opponents have tried to force him to pass to win, and he has. They've tried blitzing and spying, being aggressive and passive, and little has worked on a consistent basis.
Nick Saban and Alabama will take a shot at containing Robinson on Saturday night. It should be one of the game's telling matchups, the great defensive mind of the Crimson Tide's coach against the improvisational skills and escapability of the Wolverines' quarterback.
Alabama obviously doesn't have the benefit of having faced Robinson, as Big Ten teams do. But for some, experience hasn't given much of an advantage.
"We're still trying to figure that out," Illinois defensive end Michael Buchanan said. "One of the best ways to stop Denard Robinson is you can't let him get outside the pocket. As much as we just love rushing up the field as defensive ends, he's one of those guys where you have to press your rush a little bit more.
"You kind of have to not worry about sacking him but keeping him in the pocket. That's the biggest thing."
By doing that, teams risk leaving the middle of the field open if Michigan's interior linemen can neutralize an opposing team's tackles; then another running lane is open. If an opponent's linemen and linebackers can hold even ground or beat the Wolverines' interior line, that strategy forces Robinson to throw.
Not every team does that.
Last season, Northwestern moved Venric Mark to defense for a week as part of a package in which Mark essentially would spy Robinson. Mark, who usually plays offense, is one of the Wildcats' fastest players.
The rest of Northwestern's defense needed to keep its assignments, creating what linebacker David Nwabuisi called a "half-loop" around Robinson. It was Northwestern's way of running a contain package for the senior quarterback.
"No matter what you do, sometimes someone might slip or lose his contain and he might get out on the run, and that's what his job is to do," Nwabuisi said. "Our job is to make sure it doesn't happen again after it happens once."
One element on which most opponents agree when defending Robinson is the need to hit him. Make sure they take proper angles. Oh, and one other thing: Don't send only one guy converging on a tackle.
Robinson has absorbed a lot of hits in his career. Last season, he missed parts of games against Michigan State, Northwestern, Iowa and Illinois due to injury. The season before, he was hurt and missed snaps against Bowling Green, Iowa and Illinois, among others. So durability, even as Robinson played through an abdominal injury and staph infection last season, is a legitimate issue.
Despite that, it usually takes more than one tackler to bring down Robinson.
"If one man is coming, he already knows what he's going to do and makes a good cut or whatever he does," Purdue defensive tackle Kawann Short said. "It has to be a 'V' to get him down. It can't be one man getting him down.
"Two people coming together, just to break him down and slow him down. Once he's in the field, it's hard to hit him."
For others, the best way to neutralize Robinson is to try getting into his head. Make him second-guess some of the decisions he is going to make.
Part of the way to do that is to hit him. Another way is to continually call aggressive plays.
"I don't think you play passive at all," Ohio State linebacker Etienne Sabino said. "I think you cause havoc and put the pressure on him because he's such a good, elusive athlete and whatnot.
"You blitz him and try to get into his head."
While strategies differ, the team that has had the most success against Michigan and Robinson in the past two seasons is one of their biggest rivals, Michigan State, which succeeded by mixing fronts and secondary coverages.
In 2010, against then-coach Rich Rodriguez's zone-read, spread-option offense, the Spartans primarily used a four-man front, didn't blitz often and used a spy/contain strategy at times with the end on the wide side of the field. At times, they also stunted and had their ends rush inside the tackles.
In 2011, with Michigan employing a different offense, the Spartans mixed up fronts and blitz packages. However, most of the time they stuck with either a four-man rush or sent a linebacker on a blitz as well. It did not appear they used a spy, per se, but had some edge contain on certain plays.
In the past two seasons, Michigan State held Robinson to 128 yards rushing and 26-of-53 passing for 338 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.
So how does an opposing team stop Robinson? The answer, as he enters his senior season, remains unclear. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who as Florida's coach recruited Robinson out of Deerfield Beach, Fla., said it would be similar to how teams defended Tim Tebow when Meyer had him with the Gators.
"Mixing secondary coverages," Meyer said. "Mixing up the front. Changing the looks for the quarterback."
There might be one person who knows how to stop Robinson -- the person who knows the quarterback the best: Robinson himself.
Even he isn't completely sure.
"I'm not a defense-minded guy. I think offense only," Robinson said. "I just read the defense, to be honest with you. But I don't know. You'd have to ask a defense-minded guy."
