I shared my expanding list with Patrick Harshbarger, who encouraged me to revisit my initial abstracts and edit the terse annotations to make them more understandable and useful to others. It turned out to be a much longer and more difficult challenge than I realized. Patrick stood by as judge and jury, reading and critiquing my attempts. Final abstract descriptions often became as much his creation as mine. Simply put, without his input, help, and encouragement, this book would never have happened. It is my sincere hope that the patent information contained herein will prove helpful to others. If readers are aware of additional patents not included in this text, they are encouraged to contact me so that the missing information can be incorporated in future editions. The wording of many of the descriptions can be second guessed. Errors of commission and omission no doubt remain; they are my errors, and mine alone. Again, please inform me when you discover one. All additions and corrections will be credited to their finder in updated versions. David Guise Georgetown, Maine davidguise@myfairpoint.net vii
