Actually I touched on the next generation of MRPS detectors. The next generation will have software on ROM, so it will not need to be loaded separately. Remember everyone that the software is under copyright status and is protected. Also, the Ultrasound device's design is under "patent pending" status, which is by design.

Their lawyers say, and I have verified this with others, that it's actually better to remain in "patent pending" status than to receive a patent. Under pending status, no one can even view your design. When patented there is nothing stopping anyone from COPYING your design except that it is illegal to do so. However, many would try to change something a little bit and the whole thing could blow up into a 3-5 years patent infringement suit.

Jimmy's goal is to keep well ahead of the competition which will come 2-3 years down the road by enhancing the design and protecting it from view.
