Gentlepersons: our main invention-finding procedure is "Beachhead," at
http://www.winwenger.com/beachhd.htm Other pretty good ones for the purpose are
basic ImageStreaming (with invention intention) at
http://www.winwenger.com/imstream.htm, and High Thinktank, at http://www.winwenger.com/htt.htm Those of
you who have copies of Discovering The Obvious will find Leo Zajac's very
effective instructions and process, toward the end of the chapter titled,
"Stretching To See Further."
Even without process I see two possible inventions for purpose of this
contest, but I will defer for several days to see if people here are having a go at
it. Go for this while you can. ...win
