You must read the accompanying text further. Not every dimension is shrinking. This utilizes Lenz's law which is the induction of a current in a conductor by an external magnetic field. Applying the magnetic field induces a 'rotating' or torroidal current in the coin which in turn creates a magnetic field that opposes the applied field.
Using this effect, the applied field is instantaneously so great that there is an inward compressing force on the coin, and an outward compressing force on the coils which blows them apart (there ar pictures to demonstrate this as well).
The coin is perfectly aligned within the working coil so that the compressive force is near perfectly radially symmetric, so the compression occurs bringing the edges of the coins in towards the center. There is only one coin with a side view (http://www.aquila.net/bert.hickman/frames/gallery/qball2.jpg) (sorry, don't know a lick of html. You can see how the thickness of the coin has increased to compensate for the imploding diameter. The coins actually become thicker, therefore volume is indeed the same for equal densities.
It's all quite elementary actually. We covered this in freshman honors physics.
The gym I used to belong to in Pennsylvania was called "Fitness Factory" and I knew the owner quite well.
He had had legal problems several years after founding. He had ordered some business cards for himself and some of the mangement/sales staff with the gym name printed on them, to be delivered to his house. Well, the package of business cards broke open in transit, and the USPS delivery man saw the name of the gym on the cards and took it upon himself to just drop the cards off at the gym which was not far off of his route.
The problem was, the gym he dropped the cards at was "_the_ Fitness Factory." Different gym, almost same name. The major problem? The other gym was owned by a LAWYER.
This lawyer took great exception to finding out that someone had a gym by almost the same name as his and took my friend straight to court(why not, he was his own pro-bono counsel).
These two gyms were separated by about 40 miles and oddly enough, they had both registered their names the very same week several years before, the lawyer's registration preceded my gym's manager by only 3 days.
The judge ruled that
1) the names were even though similar, they were in fact different (the Fitness Factory vs. Fitness Factory)
2) both entities had registered their name in good faith
3) they were far enough apart to be non-competing and therefor there was no consequence to the other gym existing
My gym owner got to keep the name, but only after 20 some thousand dollars in legal expenses.
At least the lawyer wasn't seeking damages at a jury trial! Juries are always such suckers for hard luck sob stories when it comes to tort settlements.

It's simply a matter of cross market marketing and licensing. Even if Blizzard doesn't make a movie based on their game, they can license someone else to do it. Same way Porsche 'makes' mountain bikes, Nike 'makes' wrist watches, and Budweiser 'makes' beer. Well, maybe not that last one...
I already see the next form of intangible property speculation to replace "cyber-squatting". Verbal squatting. Soon you will have speculators rushing out to register every word and combonation of words in the Oxford's unabridged.
You won't even be able to say good morning(TM) to your kiddies without violating someone's trademark. Then wait for the parks to fly as Amazon(TM) sues Amazon.com(TM) over trademark infringement (Not to be convused with Amazon River(TM), Amazonian Jungle (TM), Wonderwoman (TM) [hey, she was an amazon])
they were beaten to the name long long ago

You must read the accompanying text further. Not every dimension is shrinking. This utilizes Lenz's law which is the induction of a current in a conductor by an external magnetic field. Applying the magnetic field induces a 'rotating' or torroidal current in the coin which in turn creates a magnetic field that opposes the applied field.
y /qball2.jpg) (sorry, don't know a lick of html. You can see how the thickness of the coin has increased to compensate for the imploding diameter. The coins actually become thicker, therefore volume is indeed the same for equal densities.
Using this effect, the applied field is instantaneously so great that there is an inward compressing force on the coin, and an outward compressing force on the coils which blows them apart (there ar pictures to demonstrate this as well).
The coin is perfectly aligned within the working coil so that the compressive force is near perfectly radially symmetric, so the compression occurs bringing the edges of the coins in towards the center. There is only one coin with a side view (http://www.aquila.net/bert.hickman/frames/galler
It's all quite elementary actually. We covered this in freshman honors physics.
I needed a new user manual for my abacus
"(b) the goods are sold or transported in commerce, and "
This indicates that a trivial sale is not even necassary, simply having goods that are transported interstate is sufficient.
The gym I used to belong to in Pennsylvania was called "Fitness Factory" and I knew the owner quite well.
He had had legal problems several years after founding. He had ordered some business cards for himself and some of the mangement/sales staff with the gym name printed on them, to be delivered to his house. Well, the package of business cards broke open in transit, and the USPS delivery man saw the name of the gym on the cards and took it upon himself to just drop the cards off at the gym which was not far off of his route.
The problem was, the gym he dropped the cards at was "_the_ Fitness Factory." Different gym, almost same name. The major problem? The other gym was owned by a LAWYER.
This lawyer took great exception to finding out that someone had a gym by almost the same name as his and took my friend straight to court(why not, he was his own pro-bono counsel).
These two gyms were separated by about 40 miles and oddly enough, they had both registered their names the very same week several years before, the lawyer's registration preceded my gym's manager by only 3 days.
The judge ruled that
1) the names were even though similar, they were in fact different (the Fitness Factory vs. Fitness Factory)
2) both entities had registered their name in good faith
3) they were far enough apart to be non-competing and therefor there was no consequence to the other gym existing
My gym owner got to keep the name, but only after 20 some thousand dollars in legal expenses.
At least the lawyer wasn't seeking damages at a jury trial! Juries are always such suckers for hard luck sob stories when it comes to tort settlements.
