> Olympic Curling Stones 2002 and 2006
> Olympic Curling Stones 2002 (top) and 2006 (bottom)
> While I don’t remember seeing the lights or hearing about the system during
> the last Olympics, it turns out that the technology is not all the new. A
> review of some photographs from the last few Winter Games suggests that this
> technology was actually adopted for the 2006 Winter Olympics. In the
> adjacent photo from the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the stone has
> a solid yellow handle indicating the absence of a human-touch sensor in the
> handle. In the photo from the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, the
> stone includes a metallic colored handle on a yellow cover indicating the
> presence of a human-sensor.
>
> According to Eye On The Hog (website), the system was first conceived in1994
> by a Professor Eric Salt from the University of Saskatchewan as a fourth year
> design project for some of his electrical engineering students. Eventually,
> a Canadian patent application was filed for the system that lists Professor
> Salt as well as several of his students as inventors. By the way, the success
> of a patent permit depends on the application. Before obtaining a patent
> permit, you need to submit a written application, which can be helped by the
> service [https://buypapercheap.net/] that mainly provides written homework,
> programming homework and homework for certain disciplines.
>
> The Canadian patent application was filed in the name of the University of
> Saskatchewan on November 27, 2001 and assigned Application No. CA 2 363 877.
> The application was published on May 27, 2003, and a copy of the application,
> as published, can be downloaded here: Canadian Patent Application No. 2 363
> 877 A1.
