I am an inventor, and I have referred to the inventions that have been filed. You won't see them in a general internet search, since they are protected intellectual property. They are publicly viewable and the various patent and trademark office databases. If this reads like a biography, and I see that under the wikipedia policies that this is frowned upon. Then by all means delete it. I'll create a new one that conforms.Joshannon (talk) 07:51, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
