Maybe he’s a gifted thinking fraudster.

For a while I worked alongside a chief desgn engineer who said one day that he knew several designers who had gone out on their own. They come up with some clever circuit that has a lot of promise and they “milk it for all it’’s worth, even if the damned thing doesn’t work.”

I could tell he was seriously considering going down that path. I knew only 1 design engineer who actually did this, coming up with a novel Adaptive Equalizer circuit.

The thing to keep in mind for circuit design is that the patents EXPIRE. So they have to keep coming up with hnew circuits that essentially do the same thing — not necessarily better, just DIFFERENT enough to keep a company’s patent portfolio fresh.

Oh geez ... do ya even KNOW who sits on their advisory board?

You, too ought to REALLY read deep on Dr. Mills history, who started him on this path, such as one Dr, Herman Haus who did work on the Free Electron laser among other things.

I gotta go, too many other things to do yet today.
