ahhaha: Thanks for taking the time to review the patent. I have been mostly lurking on the thread but find the story quite interesting. As for: I can see some weaknesses in device longevity like the mechanical component 500 rps spinning mirror. There has to be a solid state equivalent of accomplishing a similar function.... I am not qualified to discuss the specifics of the patent. However, years ago my father was granted a patent. If my memory serves, at the time counsel advised that patents utilizing mechanics to demonstrate the innovation - in contrast with electrical or electronic techniques -- were stronger because they better illustrated the fundamental principals of the innovation. Quite frankly, I do not know if it was true then or is still true today. ...You should be able to accomplish this adequately enough with two flat mirrors of high albedo. MIT has recently invented the almost perfect mirror that seems very appropriate here.... Absent this thread, I would not have heard about that discovery as well. My thanks again to you and Frank for keeping the discussion going. ww
