Oh, what slip !, guilty, Graham, my friend (hope so); could you please
disregard my last note on this motto,
before we'll get before Judge Judy, please !
Being old lab rat aka Bev i forgot to patent it 15 years ago !

Reminds me (be vewy, vewy vary) ResMed just acquired a global patent for
enclosing flexible acoustic noise shield;
to shield few frequencies out for our blissfully sleeping patients .
For those less technically minded IT'S A MOTOR IN PLASTIC BAG !
(nooo kidding ; with 2 full time lawyers); should you consider to run any
beast in a plastic wrap for ACOUSTIC purpose;
here yo are, for a wet purpose quite free and legal . Sad hey ?

Don't ask me about heat dissipation ; that is A serious art better not
patented as not to advertise it .

My apologies Ryan (one never knows this millenium)

Subject: Re: [TN] wave soldering - board rotation


Hi Graham,
        I can't speak from experience, but we have some plaques in our
hallway bragging that our engineers hold the patent on the idea.  Apparently
it does work.  Now we use selective solder pallets, and most boards we build
are too big to rotate anyway.  So I can't tell you first hand that it works.
