Count me in as the the third man. My impression so far (and that goes back some time) is essentially the one reported by Dave and Joern. > You are right and I agree with you, the patent is really "soft" and > in facts some countries are asking for clarifications, I think soon > we must do "coming out" :-) > We are a little company and more we are located in Italy, so please > understand us if we try to not reveal all of our technology, a > bigger company could decide to copy the main algorithms and we do > not want to do legal actions and similar annoying facts. The word 'patent' is Latin and means 'open'. Being granted a patent means you have to reveal things, and whatever is not revealed is not covered by a patent. > By the way, we use also a lot of public technics like ITD, HF > Damping, Doppler...

I would come to your demo tomorrow if it wasn't so patently (there's that word again) clear that it is a marketing exercise rather than a scientific or technical gathering. The absence of any other systems - e.g. a well-engineered AMB setup - to compare with makes this rather clear.
