By the way, for those of you who may not know it, you can read patents
on line at http://www.uspto.gov. You can see the pictures too, but
you'll need to download a plugin for it, as they are in TIF format, for
some reason. :-P
The above patent should be available at this link:
http://164.195.100.11/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1='4,503,833'.WKU.&OS=PN/4,503,833&RS=PN/4,503,833
If the link doesn't work, just go to www.uspto.gov, click on "Searchable
Databases", "Patent Full-Text Database with Full-Page Images", "Patent
Number Search", and enter the patent number (4,503,833) in the box.
Enjoy!
