Title: Re: LMAO wtf is this crap Post by: Clive on April 21, 2008, 06:48:50 PM I wrote a patent application for an inventor some years back, directed to a device not too unlike that described in the Wikipedia link. I just took a tour through the USPTO website (ah!) and found that the application was abandoned. Disappointing -- I'd always hoped the inventor would get the patent and obtain a sweet license.
