Original story: EEStor Granted A New Patent: 11/453,581
By "B" The EEStor Blogger
In yet another mystery chapter from the EEStory, we find that EEStor has been granted patent 11/453,581. Originally filed in June 2006, this patent for a METHOD OF PURIFYING BARIUM NITRATE AQUEOUS SOLUTION, had it's patent Issue Notification mailed on Dec 30,2009 and the Patent Grant Mailed on January 19, 2010. At first look, it appears to have stayed under the radar until now.
If you examine the Image File Wrapper, you'll notice some interesting references to arguments made by Carl Walter Nelson. Also, the prosecution of this patent included a telphonic interview with EEStor's representative John Schell. What was discussed? "Applicants believe the step-wise purification provides benefits such as removing strontium while keeping barium in solution."
I predict further nuggets will emerge from this patent. So, if you must, please enjoy your own favorite aqueous solution with a toast to sages, Weir, Nelson & Clifford, praise be their name.
Does this mean thaqt TV can change his prediction to "did happen in 2009"?
When it's all said and done, the story of Eestor will be that they took the discovery of the characteristics of BT and developed the aqueous solution that made commercialization possible.
What troubles me most, as a person who has developed similar parts for over 30 years, is that the thread is becoming less logical, and more strident. This patent means nothing, it has no technical or commercial value..how do you tell how someone made pure BN...there are at lease three source of it commercially. For the amount that had to have been spent, they could have accumulated all the UP BN they needed...gosh, go to Edmunds Scientific, go to Newark Chemicals, its a common, high purity material...GOOGLE IT! So why spend money on a worthless documentation of a late-come of simple synthesis. Boggles the mind!
I googled Newark Chemicals barium titanate and can't find a company by that name. I went to the Edmunds Scientific website and entered barium titanate into the search box but there were no hits.
Can you please be more specific about whom to call here CapacitorMan?
The closest thing I could find for the abbreviation "BN" was Boron Nitride. Could CapacitorMan be in the wrong blog?
