Re: Smuttons

I spend almost all of my recreation time in bars/pubs/taverns drawing situation napkin cartoons for the people around me. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm gagged by someone smelling like industrial raspberry #7 concentrate or the like. Most people don't know that the nose becomes 'numb' to a...

Re: Pop up muffin pan

Before anyone would buy it they would need to be convinced that it is better than the really inexpensive fan-folded paper muffin cups we've been using for over 30 years. I made muffins this morning for breakfast and the paper cups I used were in a 49 cent box of 88 cups. That's about a half cent eac...

Swimmer.. I almost missed the second half of your reply above. Active suspension is one of my favorite subjects and I've even done some 'inventing' in that area. If you have created a topic on this subject somewhere here in CP -- guide me to it and I'll help you.

Swimmer.. for a USA provisional patent template, Google " provisional patent template " or " patent template ". I have the utility patent template for MSWord I can send you if you have MSW. Update: uploading the "AAVIAII" aeroamphibious multi-mode all terrain vehicle to...

It's been a long time coming but I've finally dedicated 'as long as it takes' (starting early this morning) to finish the graphics and text and upload the "aaviaii" project to wikinventions. I'm going through the sign-on instructions one more time -- that's why I'm in here today. If this a...

IF the buss speed between the PCI-E card and CPU is roughly the same or higher than between the CPU and RAM this should work without degrading performance. The only problem that I can foresee is that the PCI-E card will become obsolete relatively soon. However, USB speed has just taken a major leap ...

In my opinion, the "brownish sludge" would not look appealing enough to be marketable until after 2012 when its color matches everything else on earth (assuming old prophecies come true). The preferred red and yellow ratios can be fixed just the same as the striped toothpaste so why not st...

Steve.. is this "instant clothesline" a sound barrier? I haven't seen a clothesline since the 60's. Do they still use those over there?

It sounds like you're asking for commercial descriptions, order of display, and the commercial time lengths at the beginning of each intermission? So, while you're in the bathroom, if you hear 13 beeps, for example, you'll know the 13th commercial has started and you need to get back quick to watch ...

rrob2037.. I perceive by what you wrote and how you wrote it that you either spent a lot of time writing it or you're a gifted writer. As for the subject matter, you are pursuing a form of perpetual or regenerative motion which, as far as I know, hasn't been efficiently enough achieved yet to be a g...

There is a great program out there that I used many years ago that does exactly that. You can not only determine how long before your email will self destruct before sending it but HOW it destructs. They have many creative visual and audible destruction methods that come with the program. Until I re...

Like Swimmer and Malone stated, nano technology will change everything.

Wouldn't it be great if I could patent "Thingamabobbers, Thingamajigs, and Gadgets" (Patent Title) and then sit back and reap the royalties?

I just Google searched "Automobile Security" (without the quotes) and found way too much to read.
