Amanita, here's what it all boils down to...
By capnmike:
"So, taking advantage of the desirable data provided via Raman, AND not eliminating the fluorescence interference, but balancing the approach as to allow Raman and Fluorescence and Reflective analysis to be performed based upon what the laser does with the sample of interest, would be the key. A balancing or filtering approach of some type (proprietary I would guess) provides the CDEX VG4 access to signals to work with Raman+Fluorescence+Color (reflective spectrometry)."
After bypassing all of capnmike's fluff, it boils down to nothing more than a guess as to the mysterious workings of the black box.
I always thought that a patent is suppose to allow "someone knowledgeable in the field" to be capable of reducing the invention to practice.
Seems like Wade is keeping that aspect of the invention secret until he figures it out himself.
Remember what pennstreet said, they're designing something that's never been build before."
I wish them 'luck'.
