Hi Chuck
That is great. That means that all the flim-flam
men selling such machines are in violation of that patent.
I hope the fellow that has this patent is properly
defending it.

I've talked with a number of people from
large technology companies
who patent anything and everything just to proactively defend against
such carpetbaggers. Unfortunately, then management changes, business
philosophy changes and the patent thicket gets more and more dense....
And sadly, the USPTO pretty much asserts that it can no longer
examine patent applications with any scrutiny. I am aware of at
least one patent granted in the last decade for a perpetual-motion
machine, for example.
More lucre for the lawyers, I guess.
