Nominal Semidestructor.... sorry, NatSemi always were good at coming up 
with weird and wonderful applications for their chips. Read an opamp 
datasheet and you'd get things like hydrophone amplifiers, and even 
(IIRC) an AM/FM radio. I'm sure I've seen an ECG amp in an NSC hi-spec 
op-amp datasheet. Madness!

Although it is nice to see real applications instead of little 
building-block designs that take tons of effort to make work...
