The issue I have is deciding where we take the output. Let's say that I have a
lathe, and I can calculate equations for curves, and I can adjust the settings
as a piece of work progresses to make a certain table leg. Let's then buy a
computer with a couple of controlled stepper motors. Programming the curves in
is digital information, and the signals to the stepper motors are still digital.
So, if we take the information going to the steppers as output, then we could
block the patent on the digital-in/digital-out grounds. This would still leave
the analog changes into the lathe controls (if they are dampened) or the table
leg itself.
While your proposal would definitely be progress, I don't want to lose sight of
the pencil and paper test; if you could calculate, word, or logically construct
the 'invention' with pencil and paper, then it isn't patentable.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Need to define "digital" ... a mechanical paper tape punch and reader
creates and read digital media by certain definitions, and is certainly
patentable.
