  • Patent number: 7182343
    Abstract: A football board game may be played with a football board, a pair of dice, and a coin or other device suitable as a marker. The coin is placed on a starting position, each player rolls a die, and the resulting die values are compared to determine the amount by which the coin should be advanced. If the coin advances to the defense's goal line before the offense has to turn over the ball four attempts, the offense has scored a touchdown.

  • Patent number: 5293323
    Abstract: A method for enabling a diagnostic system to assess, within time constraints, the health of the host system during operation, and to detect and isolate system faults during maintenance, with reduced potential for false alarms due to intermittent real faults and system noise, and for apparent misdiagnosis of the host system health, by use of a Diagnostics by Confidence Measure Assessment (DCMA) process in which a confidence measure is provided for each system test failure assessment, resulting from both the use of specialized persistence processing on many test results from a single source and the use of specialized corroboration processing on many test results from different sources.
