     Greatings,

     I am working on design and fabrication of a CMOS motion
detector  IC that I have classified as being fuzzy. The fol-
lowing is a description of the circuit.  It has  10  digital
inputs  and  a  final output. A strong voltage on the output
(near VDD) means that majority of the inputs were  fired  in
the preferred direction, otherwise  output is silent.  There
is no feedbacks and therefor no neural-net like  back  props
in this circuit. It detects motion in real time.  Circuit is
biologically motivated and operates in subthreshold.

     Here is a question. Basically what is  the  application
of  this circuit in real life ? . I have thought of waveform
detection in scopes myself, but need more ideas. I  appreci-
ate all comments.

     Regards,
