08:39 schestowitz; <p>His first step was to make throws repeatable and predictable. His robot has a balanced arm that spins up to a precise rotational speed. At the set angle, it releases the dart. By monitoring many throws with computer vision, Bommersbach was able to dial in the speed and angle variables until the result became very predictable. An Arduino UNO Rev3 board controls the arm speed and calculates the r
08:39 schestowitz; elease. But Bommersbach struggled to get the timing of the release exactly right, as the Arduino was running its code sequentially and so there was a small variance just enough to throw off the throw. </p>

08:42 schestowitz; <p>Last year we took ownership of the Thunderbird Flatpak, and it has been our officially recommended package for Linux users. However, we are expanding our horizons to make sure the Thunderbird Snap experience is officially supported too. We at Thunderbird are team free software, independent of the packaging technology. This will mostly affect our Ubuntu users but there are plenty of other Snap use

08:44 schestowitz; <p>The announcement (in German) was made yesterday by the state's Minister-President Daniel Gunther, who has served in that position since 2017. According to a translated version of the announcement, independence was a key motivation for switching to open source software. </p>

"[T]he government has given the starting signal for the first step towards complete digital sovereignty for the country, with further steps to follow." </p>

17:29 schestowitz; "I could hardly agree more.<br /><br />It is not difficult to imagine a world where the claims seem to be clear, but nevertheless cases arise in which it can be argued one way or another that an embodiment (prior art or infringement) satisfies the requirements of the claim. In that case, a wholistic approach to determine the intended meaning of the claim, including where necessary reference to the original description and the common gen

This interpretation will be the same for patentability and infringement (no equivalents) and then there is a question of whether there is infringement by an obvious equivalent.<br /><br />None of this requires amendment of the description. Ever. Every single patent monopoly office and court h

Amending the description does nothing to assist with the interpretation of the claims, but in fact makes the whole issue more complicated by introducing consideration of what the patentee intended to do when it amended its description."
