Abstract: A holder for a hands free fishing includes an elongated pole. A stake is formed on a bottom end of the elongated pole for insertion into the ground. A V-shaped brace is formed on a top end of the elongated pole for receiving and supporting the fishing rod resting within the brace. In addition, the holder has a footrest above the stake which is for easy insertion and easy removal from the ground. The holder also has a pivotable platform for holding a flashlight at night.

Abstract: A circuit for protecting integrated circuits from electrostatic discharge by using SCR latchup to divert the ESD current pulse away from sensitive circuit structures. The SCR structure of the invention includes a trigger circuit having an NMOS triggering transistor for activating the SCR when an ESD event occurs on an input/output pad of the integrated circuit being protected. The ESD event on the input/output pad of the integrated circuit is detected by a circuit which applies a trigger voltage to the NMOS triggering transistor to initiate latchup of the SCR independent of junction breakdown of the NMOS triggering transistor. The trigger voltage is generated by an inverter trigger or a capacitor trigger powered by the ESD event so as to trigger SCR latchup so long as the integrated circuit is not powered up (V.sub.DD is low). The SCR of the invention may also have a floating well whereby the well resistor R.sub.
