Abstract: A major hoop member provides for protection of a minor hoop member and contact points between the minor hoop member and net material attached to the minor hoop member. The minor hoop member is of a significantly smaller diameter than a diameter of the major hoop member and is securely retained in close, but spaced, orientation radially inward from the major hoop member. This provides for the operational passageway through the minor hoop member which objects may be netted to be nearly as large as that available utilizing just the major hoop member. This full function feature occurs while the major hoop member protects the inner hoop member, and the contact points therealong of the net material, from coming into contact with many obstructions during use of the net device to net objects. Easy removal and replacement of the minor hoop member permits replacement of existing net material.

Abstract: Systems, methods and circuits for implementing efficient device testing. As one example, a method is disclosed for testing a device that includes both a digital and analog portion. In some cases, the digital portion includes a plurality of latch devices, and the analog portion includes a plurality of memory cells and a plurality of selector devices. Each of the plurality of selector devices is electrically coupled to a respective one of the memory cells, is at least indirectly coupled to one of the plurality of latch, devices, and is controlled by a selector input. In the method, a load clock is applied to the plurality of latch devices such that a pattern is loaded into the plurality of latch devices. The selector input is asserted such that a derivative of the pattern is received by the plurality of selectors and returned to the plurality of latch devices. A system clock is applied to the plurality of latch devices such that the derivative of the pattern is loaded into the plurality of latch devices.
