I'm an inventor

[motomadness]

Since many of you are in some ways my best friends, I thought I'd share my news with you.

My work colleagues and I submitted paperwork 2 years ago, then yesterday I received a message that I was awarded my first patent for work related to my job.
 
Patent No:  6766775
Issue Date:  Jul 27 2004
Country: United States of America
Title:  METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INCREASING THE ESTIMATION ACCURACY OF CAM PHASE ANGLE IN AN ENGINE WITH VARIABLE CAM TIMING
Historic Docket No:  200-1193US...
Anaqua Record Id No: 81035455

Hopefully, this is the first of many.

Sean, you are the MONSTA!

Keep it up and you can retire from Ford to a life of full-time racing before you qualify for Formula 40!

Hope there's some financial reward in it for you!

Way to go Sean. You are forever etched in history.  8)  :D

[tigerblade]

That's awesome!   :D

[motomadness]

There's a small financial reward, but nothing to contemplate retirement on.  Thanks guys.

Aside from the financial aspect, this is something that is permanant; a legacy.  Can't put a price on that.   8)

I never thought about having a legacy.  I'll hold off on that accolade until I've got a few more to my credit.  I'm satisfied with just being called Monsta, the "Cycle Psycho".

Now if I could only have Einstein's hair, then we can talk about legacies.

Fantastic Sean!  

Getting a patent is really cool.  I've had several submissions, but none go to full patent.

You'd look like Don King's genius brother.  :o ;) ;D
