[neonixie-l] Re: recommendation for anode resistor for 2x2 multiplexed IN-14s @166-170v?
Yep. Haven't run the calculations, but yes, an extra resistor has to be added in the dp cathode leg.

Do I need to put a ~100K resistor on the cathodes of the decimal points to keep them from being run at the same current as the rest of the tube? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

[neonixie-l] Anybody heard from David Forbes lately?
I bought a Nixie watch from him in April of last year. It worked flawlessly until the beginning of November. I got up, picked it up from my dresser to discover that the left tube was on continuously while the right tube was dark. Resetting the watch by pulling the battery didn't work. I returned it under warranty. After several emails to David in the first part December, he let me know he was rearranging his shop and that he'd get to it in a week. Several emails to him in January went unanswered. I'm coming up on the three month mark in five days. I guess I'm a bit concerned. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group. To post to this group, send an email to neonixie-l@googlegroups.com.

Did you try a new battery? With typical use, they only last about 6 months in that watch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

A new battery was the first thing I tried. I've noticed that the tubes get dim and/or flicker when the battery voltage drops. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

Nick, Can you clarify what you mean by status? Are you wanting to know whether a patent is pending or in force (ie granted and the maintenance fees paid up to date). Or is it a patent which is currently being examined, and you'd like to see the detail of the office actions, responses from the applicant etc (ie the file wrapper) ? I've dealt with it now - I spoke to the USPO legal department who basically told me to sod off. It seems that 3rd parties cannot object or correspond in any way regarding a patent application if more than a couple of months have passed since the application was first published. So I can't do anything anyway. The extraordinarily rude snotty lady on the 'phone said that if I made any attempt to contact the assessor all my correspondence would be struck off the record, even though I have a file of prior art. Oh, well.. Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group. To post to this group, send an email to neonixie-l@googlegroups.com.

You'd possibly get more traction with the European Patent Office - it's a different system. As I recall, third parties can make 'observations' on a patent during prosecution. There's also a proper opposition process for a period after a patent grants. Course, none of that helps you in the US.

I'm back in the Nixie watch world after taking more time off than I expected. I got sick just before finishing my workshop, and that threw me out of whack. I have your watch repaired and it will ship in a few days after I'm sure it's working properly. I also am taking orders for Nixie watches again, if anyone's interested. I have about 6 months of backlog to work through. -- David Forbes, Tucson AZ http://www.cathodecorner.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.
