If I am not mistaken evan, was this patent not approved two seperate times by two seperate patent officers? The first time being an officer who passed away right when the patent was about to be finalized the first time? Thus giving you a double approval on a patent?

You have a good memory considering we covered so much ground here that night. And, again I learned a lot from our conversations and thanks for taking the time to visit here!
Yes, the uspto issued an approval and the examiner fell ill, leaving us in limbo for an extra year, while new examiners started from scratch. The uspto added 3 years to the life of the patent most likely due to the unfortunate delay.
