That set looks like something that Aunt Millicent would have mounted on the back of the pantry door, and yet know nothing about it, except that the new savings and loan gave it to her for opening a new account.

I still remember how to prepare samples for metallographic analysis. It's been awhile, though.

Buy "Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist", edited by Prof. Arthur Reardon. It's published by the ASM. It is probably available on their website, or at Amazon. And read it. Much better than posting questions here.

A eutectic tin-lead solder.

Then beg for the you ****.

The plate voltages in my ham transmitters are more than 2.5kV. I use a HV probe when measuring.

U.S. Patent Application No. 20150135908A1; assigned to Ideal Industries, Inc.

I shopped for yet another airplane in Port Townsend a few years ago. The guy preferred to be paid in gold. I flew it, then said goodbye. That guy wasn't you?

You're wearing out a set of tools you bought only 14 years ago, and don't work with professionally?

They were used to secure other fasteners. Used on connecting rod nuts in the old days.

Small torque wrench with a torque multiplier. But that might break the bank, depending on the bank.

In a few years, it will be free. Start working on a knock-off now. In a few years, you may have a product you want to market. Change the name, though. Dan has already poisoned that.

I still don't know what he means by "giving up" his patent. His maintenance fee appears to be paid up. There is no mechanism for "giving up" a patent. They are presumed valid when issued, and remain enforceable as long as the fees are paid. It may be taken away only if the patent is...

The Sturtevant-Richmont "clicker" torque wrench has further adjustment to cancel non-linear effects in the tool during calibration. It's the best clicker there is. I own a few of them. That being said, I usually use the Sturtevant-Richmont flat-beam deflecting torque wrenches (with a...

I don't know if Kearns had any foreign patents. But when the foreign autos are imported into the U.S., with the potentially-infringing wiper system installed, there were things he could have done. BTW, one of the many vehicles I own is a pristine early '60's Galaxie.

Kearns actually invented something. In Sullivan's case, I'm not so sure.

In continuing to publish these childish youtube rants, Dan only continues to prove that he's fundamentally confused about the difference between the court of public opinion and a court of law.

My recollection is that he publicly charged that others were infringing his patent. Always the position of a complete fool. The alleged infringers could have compelled him to prove it in court.

"...It's not a quest for an amateur…". I couldn't be more in agreement.

U.S. Patent No. 6356853 claimed priority back to 1999. His twenty-year term only had a few years left. If it hasn't been profitable for him for the last seventeen years, exactly what is he giving up? BTW, the record (PAIR) shows no "giving up claims" as he says. It shows, instead, that the...
