The patent abstract you posted to this list on June 16 appears 
completely unrelated to RACE. RACE does not rely on a pseudo-root. 
RACE does not use hexadecimal encoding. I am not a lawyer, so there 
may be parts that relate to RACE, but no one has shown that any part 
of the patent applies to RACE.
