We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

What patent numbers? I'd love to see what you've invented.

I don't memorize patent numbers .... but I'm sure that you have handled many things that I have invented.

So your solution is to turn the schools into prisons. Aren't most school buildings de-moralizing enough already?
I can't stand going to my daughters school and having to get "buzzed" in. I will never allow my daughter to wear an "issued" locator device. And if I had to pass a gate-guard's scrutiny to get into the parking lot, you can bet I'd start home-schooling.

"Its still a place of education. Whether the students are 60 or 6.. the intent is the same."
True, but the over 21 crowd may stand a chance of defending themselves...
As to the helmet - any idea what the finished weight might be? I suspect that a product of this nature would sit in the corner forever.

I read that to mean "fortress" instead of "prison"; the former is meant as a compound that would deny internal access to an aggressor while the latter is meant to contain the aggressor and deny them exit.

How much do Kevlar or Dragon Skin (not the myth or mithril type) vests weigh? Divide that weight by half, add helmet straps, and presto! Instant top-heavy group of grade-schoolers with serious neck injuries.

I, too, am curious and anxious to applaud you for the many things you have invented -- and patented -- that have improved society. Please do tell...

I'll defer on your suggestion that I provide my phone number. I'd rather that you regale the entire community here with your inventive prowess....

Engineers understand graphs. Build a simple pie chart depicting the number of school shootings in a year and the number of earthquakes in a year.
Or better yet, use mine! Just print some copies and hand it to them.
Then, tell them to suck eggs, grow brains, and stop believing everything they hear. Tell them they might want to check FACTS once in a while. If they don't, they won't be allowed to be engineers. Bridges and airplanes aren't built on the basis of erroneous perception. They're built on FACT.
Key:
Blue: Annual Earthquakes ONLY of 6.0 and above on the Richter Scale (capable of damaging structures)
Red: Annual School Shootings
Sources (so both you and they can confirm the numbers):
School Shootings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States
Earthquakes: U.S. Geological Survey: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/eqstats.php

She didn't even know what the stuff was called but I know she meant, "shear thickening fluid," and a think layer of kevlar.

Tell them to engineer a self defense tool that is as effective as a handgun but that has none of the controversial characteristics of a handgun. They'll never get past scribbling on naptkins.
To more directly address the op... If they think they're the first ones to think of Kevlar binders they are fracking idiots.

In my opinion, that person is an idiot. I would not want to be anywhere near a product she either designed or helped design for the first 2 years of it being released and being tested on the public.

Yeah, you'd kinda think someone who had patented something would either have a piece of paper laying around or maybe even a check or three from all the licenses from the patent.

Yeah, I call BS. Even if you don't know them by heart, you can easily get them. Having even one patent is a significant accomplishment and involves a lot of work - to have as many as he claims is an amazing achievement. And since he has already posted his name in open forum, it's not like it would be giving anything away to post the patent numbers. Unless, of course, he can't because they don't exist anywhere other than his imagination.

Heavens no....I'm an inventor ... and I don't do that; I know of few that do.
A check? I was working for a company...I got $10 ... for each patent I ever got. They used to not give inventors anything .... but that ran into problems in court.
Those who know little about the patent world....a learning experience here.
