It would appear, from reading, the entire description, that they patented a way of using, what they called a "memory stick" aka a "jump drive" that now costs about $15 for a 16GB drive (enough for all of the Calmare users ever.
There does not appear to be any indication that they have changed the algorithms at all. What they have added is a method of plugging in your memory stick and downloading whatever data it may have about you (or others) and then taking that stick over to another Calmare device and unloading or uploading your data to that machine.
I am not sure it is needed unless you are moving from one clinic to another and they cannot write your setting on an earlier version of a memory device that is eco-friendly, e.g., pad of paper. Maybe they have a way of keeping track of other data, but who knows.
I would have thought after so many years of experience, they might have upgraded the entire device, but this seems minimal and not an upgrade to justify anyone wanted to change devices.
Was this a low-ball effort to try to differentiate between this vaccumm-tube era device and the new device that the inventor has now patented and announced? If so, the dull thud is what the market thought
