  3. Re:Won't work... by Yarn · · Score: 1 · on Quantum Cryptography Systems Commercially Launched

    My notes[pdf,344k] on the subject, a nice table if I do say so myself.

    ps: strange:

    -rwxr-x--x 1 yarn staff 309915 Jul 28 2002 notes.pdf

    The original (notes.pdf) is from dvipdfm, the selected page were extracted with MacOSX Preview.app. Must be some poor creation routines there.

  4. Prior art by royles · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Patents Your Local Weather Report

    My PhD thesis describes a solution along these lines in great detail. First prototype built prior to 1998 and details published 1998. Final thesis published in 2000.

    Intelligent Interaction Between the User and Online Legal Content.

    Used tailored HTML based on a knowledge base contained both in the HTML and in the users client machine. Used cookies as a key to reference the users remote knowledge base that was stored on the server and to maintain state during traversal through linked documents.

    The first prototype was builtin 1998, I have thesis and published papers that state this point. The main publication details are listed here.

    C.A. Royles and T.J.M. Bench-Capon,(1998), Dynamic Tailoring of Law Related Documents to User Needs.9th International Workshop on Database and Expert System Applications, 1998. IEEE, pp609

    Its an IEEE publication so should be easy to track down.

    Surely something published in 1998 should make it VERY difficult to apply for a patent on. Obviously I was unable to patent the solution because I had published it to the public domain.

    How much is the hourly cap? I have mirrored it, although the formatting of the rant is pretty dire
