Not only can you get a patent for it, but you can get paid good money for developing it;)

Bonus points for anyone who finds my other patents that relate to optics;)

Does multi-wavelength spectral comparison count as optics?

I believe bonus points are in order.

Chalker, do you work with eggs..? As a job?

Now he's a supercomputer program director, but in his former job as lead controls engineer at Embrex, a poultry bioengineering company, I'm sure he saw eggs quite a bit.

....Luo, I think you know him a little too well. O.o

And, supercomputer program director? sounds fancy

Chalker, do you work with eggs..? As a job?

I did for several years. But not anymore. Technically I worked at a company that built devices that did various things to eggs, such as inject vaccines in the chicks before they hatched or sort the eggs to remove 'bad' ones. If you're really curious, here's a brief article describing some of that: http://www.embrex.com/articles/Pfizer_15_8.pdf

FYI, I'm sure everyone will be excited to know that UPS delivered to me today actual printed copies of the final rules. Which means that they also are likely delivering them now to all the State Directors and perhaps to anyone who directly ordered them on the soinc.org website. Shouldn't be long before the Directors begin to send them directly to coaches.
