Dear George, I am honored that you responded to my frivolous (but sincere) post. In fact, I kind of regretted ever sending it. The two six-letter words I was referring to are: GxxxxE GxxxxR. Thanks, Ibexx

Glass patch cellular antenna First Claim: Show all 30 claims I claim: 1. A method to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves comprising: generating opposing magnetic fields each having a plane of maximum force running perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the respective magnetic field; generating heat from a heat source along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the magnetic field; generating an accelerator parallel to and in close proximity to the heat source, thereby creating an electromagnetic injection point; and generating a communication signal into the electromagnetic injection point, thereby sending and receiving the communication signal at a speed faster than a known speed of light. : CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is a non-provisional application claiming the benefits of provisional application No. 60/028,204 filed Oct. 2, 1996. Background/Summary: Show background/summary Drawing Descriptions: Show drawing descriptions Description of Preferred Embodiments: Show description of preferred embodiments Foreign References: none (No patents reference this one) ********************************* Posted 17/03/2000 8:39am by Adamson Rust US Patent Office appears to trash laws of physics Thanks to a reader who has pointed us to a US patent which describes a device which can perform faster than the speed of light. He suggests that it is lucky that the US Patent Office pays for itself, otherwise US taxpayers might want to know why the organisation is hiring people who haven't got even the slightest clue about modern physics. And he also suggests a new column for The Register, called BPEFH -- the bastard patent examiner from hell. Here's the patent in question, titled Hyper Light Speed Antenna. But, a doctor who knows what he's talking about, writes, this is not as daft as it first appears. He said: "Although it is not possible for a physical object to travel faster than light, E=mc^2 etc, it is possible for a signal, which is the case in this instance, to be transmitted faster than the speed of light. I believe it's all down to things refered to as phase and group velocities of the electromagnetic wave. I could point you in the direction of a pile of physics texts on electromagnetic waves that would bore the knackers off you, but I don't think that that's what you want. I would send you the references of some papers on the subject, but I don't have any to hand." One reader pointed us, rather helpfully, to the background information on the patent, which makes for astonishing reading and points to...a new dimension "All known radio transmissions use known models of time and space dimensions for sending the RF signal. The present invention has discovered the apparent existence of a new dimension capable of acting as a medium for RE signals. "Initial benefits of penetrating this new dimension include sending RF signals faster than the speed of light, extending the effective distance of RF transmitters at the same power radiated, penetrating known RF shielding devices, and accelerating plant growth exposed to the by-product. The present invention...takes a transmission of energy, and instead of sending it through normal time and space, it pokes a small hole into another dimension, thus, sending the energy through a place which allows transmission of energy to exceed the speed of light." Wow. So there you go. Another reader says that a thread about this particular patent is growing like topsy on Usenet forum sci.electronics.design, and quips that if this technology works, he may be able to receive data before it's even been sent... ©

Mr.Gilder, what do you think about ELON ?; cisco,honeywell etc. and foreign entities seem to think well of it. Homes,bldgs, mfgs,schools are going to use it ....?

George, I enjoyed your presentation at OFC. I hope you had as much fun giving it as we did in listening. I must admit, that I used to be more critical of your views on technology because, as someone working in the field, I would get hung-up with technical inaccuracies and uncertain assumptions. But now, I realize the value of your vision and the power that you have to be an outspoken leader in this industry. We've often learned that technical hurdles are overcome by breakthroughs and disruptive solutions that cannot be predicted. But it's the vision of people like yourself that give rise to the drive that moves people to seek new directions and ultimately create whole new ways of thinking. Thanks for the inspiration and for keeping us on the right track. Best regards, Tim Bagwell

Since your "Post a message" on your board gives me a VBScript error, I need to post this message to you here: Many of us anticipated that the "mystery" company would be announced on the 13th. It obviously was not. I'm waiting patiently with a bunch of MOT just in case. Can you tell us, without going against your nondisclosure, when the company will be announced?

In January 2000 issue of GTR,you mentioned that in the next era,the most common digital devices will be cellphones and Smart Cards. This technology is still unknown to many people. Since January,a small company has emerged as a potential leader in this industry. Datakey(DKEY)has the first Opsec certified smart card according to Check Point software. Cybertrust(now Baltimore)said that they have the first-ever 32K Crypto-Smart Card. And Certicom said that DKEY has the first smart card solution that bridges the wired and wireless world. Your view about the future of Smart cards.
