IPAlarms Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 hello lads,any one had dealings with a patent attorney? I have done my own for a US patent at http://www.uspto.gov/ - very comprehensive site. They let you send them your idea which gets noted in a register for about a tenner, but I'm not sure if the UK patent office offer the same service. If you want to go one step further, you can apply for a provisional patent which gives you an extra 12 months to decide if you want to go the distance and pay for a full patent. Hope this helps.

arfur mo Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 ACT used to make a wireless test set that had a audible tone that changed with voltage/resistance on the circut being tested. Sounds like a well used idea? if i was to make a new versiontoday i'd make it able to interface with pmr handsets. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

luggsey Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 you amature! regs alan Keep it simple stupid! I used to use my PMR's for testing intercoms, mine had a radio built in so I was able to test audio up from the end station and use the VOX to test the call buzzer to the phone, if that's amature I'll live with the title!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!

magpye Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I designed a similar device in the mid eighties. It was called 'Gremlin Finder' Was that a device that could be connected to a cc wired door to check for problems? If so, I've still got one somewhere. Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motco Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Was that a device that could be connected to a cc wired door to check for problems? If so, I've still got one somewhere. Yes. It looked for any break in the closed circuit no matter how brief. It was a small grey plastic box with a label with the name and manufacturer's details on it.
