KKG, I thought that your earlier posts had indicated Dean's basic patent was in the sampling algorithm, however, you now seem to say that it is basically in the rotating radiation source and detector. Is this correct? If it is indeed the latter (that Dean has a patent lock on the rotating emitter/detector), then indeed he (and we longs) are protected from all competition, whether or not this particular DVIS application of the patent actually works or not. The mere idea of such a patent is salable for big bucks. Of course, it may not be beyond the power of GE, Toshiba and the other big players to pay off the FDA to forestall approval until the patent runs out, to hell with the millions of lives that could have been saved by this technology in the meantime. No offense, just business, don't you know?
