Devices, systems, and methods determine the health of oral objects by providing objective measurements using a detachable probe body. The detachable probe body may isolate reusable system components (including an electromagnetic signal detection, signal transmission, energy generation, and or energy transmitting components) from the oral cavity, optionally by encasing at least a portion of one or more of these components in a sheath or the like. A window of the probe body maintains sterile isolation and transmits electromagnetic energy to and/or signals from the oral object. Accuracy can be enhanced by a clamp or other structure for engaging a surface of the oral object so as to maintain a fixed alignment between the signal receiver and the oral object.

An arbiter circuit () can include a latch circuit () that latches competing input signals (MATCHand MATCH) to generate signals on latch output (-and-). A filter section () can prevent metastable states of latch output signals from propagating through to output signals (BUSYand BUSY). In addition, filter section () can generate output signals (BUSYand BUSY) having one set of values when both inputs are inactive, and a second set of values when latch () is in the metastable state.

Arbiter circuit and signal arbitration method

A method and an apparatus are described for a voltage tolerant input buffer. An embodiment of an input buffer includes a differential circuit and a plurality of switches coupled with the differential circuit. The plurality of switches applies a voltage to the differential circuit in a first state and isolate the differential circuit from the voltage in a second state.
