Markarious, there was no software disclosure in the first patent claims that I can remember. It wasn't that specifc. The claims were broad and covered a portable, battery-powered XRF process.
They had to make it look like they really had something with the ELF/EM-1 before they slowly phased it out in favor of a bigger, fatter and juicier carrot IMO.
Yes Sir, remember the pulse laser which could detect at 1000 meters? When MP put that in his CEO statement shareholders were drooling and forgot completely about that silly 2 meter XRF stuff- that was now old hat.
Actually, they combined the XRF and UV in one of their concept products (forget what it was called- MSSS?) before phasing it out entirely for a common UV fluorometer.
