Inventors

The road from concept to successful product is a long and difficult one. This group tries to make that trip a bit easier by bringing together inventors, marketers, and business people to share their knowledge and experience.

Software Patents?

Interested in software patents? Have some suggestions for the Patents and Trademarks Office regarding software patents? The PTO has issued a request for comments on "enhancement of quality of software-related patents." Details here: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-01-03/pdf/2012-31594.pdf (relevant section begins at the bottom of the third column on p. 1)See More

"I forgot to include "free" in the list of requirements. Our club is strictly a volunteer effort and we charge no dues, so there's little to no money to pay to rent a space. The Box Jelly charges $100 per hour."

"Hi Roger - Its hard to find all those things in one place locally. For everything other than the classroom environment I would try TheBoxJelly. They host many tech events, meetups, etc. "

"Our club needs a meeting place. Ideally it has a classroom environment, access to electric and Internet, is easily accessible, has plenty of free parking, and is available on a regular monthly basis. Anyone having any suggestions please let us know."

About Me:
If anyone in here is old enough to remember Interface Age magazine (late 70s) you may recall a monthly column titled "The Inventor's Sketchpad". Well, I wrote that column. I also wrote a book, "The Complete Starship: A Simulation Project" way back then, describing how a simulation could be constructed using personal computers.

Ah yes, I remember now. I simulated a tic tac toe machine that worked by beads dropping into buckets. No hurry on the scan, I have a copy in storage...in Seattle. But it would be fun to see it again.

Thanks!
Ken

Roger, I just noticed your profile. I had an article published in Interface Age. It was for a game on Altair/Imsai type machines with a video card (Lee Felsenstein's in my case). The game was Snake and you used the front panel switches to direct the snake. They published the hex code for it and I know at least one person entered in all that hex because he wrote a letter pointing out a bug. I knew about the bug but had left it in as a kind of cheat, it let the snake out of one corner. Oh heck, it might even have been Octal they listed. So, yes, I remember Interface age!

E komo mai Roger! We hope you find some fellow inventors and robotics guys in our community.

The FAQ is a good place to learn about the site. You may want to join some of the interest groups such as User Experience Design and Robotics.

We hope you find TechHui useful and invite others. See you in the groups and forums!
