Hello. I have downloaded about 50 patents but I would like to have
some help because the downloading patent pages (images) page by page
is rather boring... the point of downloading is that we can read them
offline and with better program than browsers -- for example, xloadimage
with some zoom is quite ideal for reading patent images.
Did you read the Gigasampler patents? The main point is the audiofile
buffering idea there --- what kind of buffering is patented? I have not
yet read it, and will read only after downloading all interesting ones.
Ok, my list of yet to be downloaded patents are in "http://www.funet.fi/
~kouhia/patents.html".
It is interesting to note that there are also software sound synthesis
patents. Something similar to Csound & all.
I don't know if patents are really that useful but without reading
them I don't know. What do you think?
Juhana
