John, so you do Patent research ? Do you have a particular area you practice in ?

Specialized mostly in the tech stuff, like communications hardware and software, some semiconductor fab thingies, optical applications of all kinds, that kinda stuff. But patent firms have to do what the client wants, so I've done pocket potato peelers for Ron Popeil and convertable baby crib/strollers. Heck, I can probably get you a patent on a pencil, if I do the claims right. Patent Searches are a whole different body of law. I don't recommend doing searches. Let the USPTO do them during examination. Unless there's a bunch of bucks at issue and competitors with big pockets.

Wonder if Ms DivePac's underwear is covered Down-Under. Be glad to take a closer look. [;)] 'Course if MS DivePac is a bit shy, will graciously accept a substitute model; 60 kilos max, redhead (or auburn, or strawberry), 22 - 28, munchkins, no tats (well, maybe a little one in a secret place), bold, and coquettishly wicked.

Ciao. John

Prayers. My 24 year old niece is battling the damned C.

Breast cancer ?

No, Hodgkin's Disease that morphed into other areas. Just waiting and hoping. I think she'll make make it. But I'm always a hopeless optimist.

Just got an email from a friend of mine in Alabama. The tornado that went through Cullman went within about 0.2 miles of their house. They're just now getting power back up there-2 weeks later.

Lots of folks up there got bad whacked. Took as much boxed and canned food as my car could fit, and every stuffed teddy bear I could find, up to my sister Jeanne in Prattville. She spent mothers day weekend, along with her daughters and grandchildren, in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham distributing everything to those most effected. This mother's day actually meant something to a lot of mothers.

Leaving for the next exercise tomorrow. Will show up during evenings to give my respects to THE THREAD!!!

Good night friends [>:]

You're getting a lot of exercise these days, Per! What happened? Did the snow melt or something? [:D]

A couple of weeks ago, yes [:D]

We're actually having something of an early summer right now. Sunny and 22C (72F).

... and I'm not part of the training audience this time. We're holding a tactics exercise with our soon-to-be LTCs, hitting them with an endless stream of tactical problems to be solved (out in the field) in a short time. Beers and cognac in the hotel bar in the evening. Good week. [:D]

Good idea on the USAF house rules to limit the F22 to 25,000 feet for CAP, escort or sweep purposes. Wouldn't want to be gamey. [:D]

Late morning tithe. Hope all American THREAD brothers had a good Mother's Day with their families yesterday.

Seems we have a little different customs. We're having Mother's Day the last Sunday in May (every year).

Hope you had a good one though [:)]
