The present invention relates to \SpecialChar \ldots{}
and in particular to \SpecialChar \ldots{}
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
In other words, the basic types of things that the invention improves or
is implemented in.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentSection
Background of the Invention
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
Describe the past.
Focus on problems that you will be solving.
Talk about prior-art in detail to describe what has been done before and
what the problems are.
You are telling a story that inevitably leads up to ending statements like:
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
What is needed is\SpecialChar \ldots{}
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
The things that are needed will be put forth as solutions in the next section.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentSection
Objects of the Invention
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
It is an object of this invention to \SpecialChar \ldots{}
Note that the objects should match
the things that are needed as described in the last section.
Do not describe the invention here, just the problems that will be solved
or the utility of the invention.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
Still other objects and advantages of the invention will in part be obvious
and will in part be apparent from the specification and drawings.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentSection
Summary of the Invention
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
In order to overcome blank, we do\SpecialChar \ldots{}
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
The invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of
one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the apparatus
embodying features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement
of parts that are adapted to affect such steps, all is exemplified in the
following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the invention will be indicated
in the claims.

\begin_layout PatentSection
Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
The details of the invention go here.
I will use this area to make reference to the drawings so you can see how
it's done.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
The arrangement in
\begin_inset Flex FigureReference
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
VisioDrawing
\end_layout
\end_inset
shows an exemplary arrangement of a preferred embodiment.
In
\begin_inset Flex FigureReference
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
VisioDrawing
\end_layout
\end_inset
, one sees a
\begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Widget
\end_layout
\end_inset
and a
\begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Thing
\end_layout
\end_inset
with a preferable
\begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
WidgetThingConnection
\end_layout
\end_inset
that enables the
\begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Thing
\end_layout
\end_inset
to process the data coming from the
\begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Widget
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
I think you get the idea.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
You can either write:
\begin_inset Flex Annotation+Name
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Thing
\end_layout
\end_inset
or you can write thing
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
\begin_inset Flex Annotation
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Thing
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
They both produce the same thing.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
I can put things in the margin of the application in draft mode like this:
\begin_inset Flex PatentComment
status collapsed
\begin_layout Plain Layout
a comment like this appears in the margin when the application is printed
in draft mode
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
Note that you make and refer to equations like this:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{equation}
E=mc^{2}\label{eq:energy}
\end{equation}
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
One of my favorite equations is:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{equation}
e^{j\theta}=\cos\left(\theta\right)+j\cdot\sin\left(\theta\right)\label{eq:euler}
\end{equation}
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
We refer to the first equation as
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand formatted
reference "eq:energy"
\end_inset
and the second as
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand formatted
reference "eq:euler"
\end_inset
.
The second equation
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand formatted
reference "eq:euler"
\end_inset
is Euler's equation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made
apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and,
because certain changes may be made in carrying out the above method and
in the construction(s) set forth without departing from the spirit and
scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the
above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted
as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
\end_layout
\begin_layout PatentParagraph
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover
all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described
and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of
language, might be said to fall therebetween.
