    Congratulations are in order - but who is "he" in relation to you?

    My brother also had some patents and the only one in the family that I know of.

    I don't understand any of it either, but very cool to have a patent.

    My uncle once said he had invented something and was in the process of applying for a patent on it. However he wouldn't tell anyone what it was until the patent was approved. Unfortunately he died from a very agressive cancer before the patent was approved and we never did get to find out what it was he invented.

    I am so sorry. Maybe it could be submitted by family in his honor.

    Living close to the space center and seeing where he works, I had an idea what it might be. I think we hear alot of space/rocket talk here in Florida.

    That is so awesome. I know you are super proud of him. Congratulations!!!!

    Thanks Barry!

    Aww thank you. He's been gone for about 8 years now so we just have the good memories of him now.

    My mom and I were his closest family (both in distance and relationship) and he wouldn't tell us. No one in the family knows what it was and I cannot find any record of it in the patent database under his name, or city.
