While at Blazie Engineering back in 1996-2000 I was introduced to the Optacon and refreshable Braille display technologies. Now I have become involved with a some new devices that just might be applicable to these displays. However, now I have to "fill in some gaps" re designs that have already been tried -and failed! To this end I'm reviewing 80+ patents directly related to these displays. To Linux Phil (ex Blazie, Stuart): if you catch this email please let me know where you are at right now. Not in Florida? To the Group: I will appreciate any input that you can give to specific questions as they arise - it is obvious that your first hand, collective knowledge is substantial!
