Talk:Frazier lens

message: So, what's the trick behind the lens? I would solve the problem by projecting the image to a very small ground glass, and then filming the resulting image with the camera (somewhat similar to what a Depth-of-field adapter does, but just using it to enlarge DOF instead of limiting it). Is that the trick? Comments? Peter S. 12:58, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  How does it work? 

message: Given the loss of the patent dispute, should this now be changed to the Roessel lens or similar seeing as Frazier didn't legally invent it?
(Answering my own question) No, the inequitable conduct result actually means he did invent it but essentially failed to file the patent fairly.
Of course Frazier has now invented a new lens that is his own creation. (Reference is the 19/7/2010 ABC TV Talking Heads.) Mark Hurd (talk) 05:25, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change? 

message: This article is in need of a revision. 
Frazier invented the original lens. The effects that Frazier took advantage of was a well known anomoly in the development of optics, but he was the first to make it work. I understand this is now all documented, the original agreement with Panasonic has either ended or been revised and Frazier has since gone on to build more lenses, continuing the process. Whether this is under the original patent or another one is unclear. --Henry Tallboys (talk) 11:49, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: More Recently

message: The Google Patent Search linked as an external link on this page says that the patent expired in 2006 because Citibank (representing Panovision) failed to pay a renewal fee.
None of the other claims about the patent being invalidated are supported by any citation.  Pages elsewhere on the Web have a third story, that the patent was invalidated because a judge said it defied the laws of physics.
According to some sources, the patent was invalidated because the images were not produced using the patented contraption but rather using a different earlier prototype (maybe even by inserting an object at the position of a virtual image?).
This is all very confusing.  Without other citations, I'm inclined to accept the US Patent Office version as reported by Google Patent Search.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.202.237 (talk) 07:19, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Cohort effect

message: I was reading about the "cohort effect" and wanted to know more info, and was surprised that Wikipedia didn't have an article about it.  After a long search and after writing a stub - I finally found the article on a "cohort study" which is an method by which the cohort effect may be scientifically observed. 
I thought it was a good idea to leave something about this effect - with a link to the method of studying it - in case someone was looking.
I'm not sure it makes sense to have it as its own article though.  Probably one should link to the other - with a mention in "cohort study" about the "cohort effect" - so searchers might find it.
Cohort effects are important to resource dependency and economics theorists when these groups 
affect structures of influence within their larger organizations. Cohorts in organizations are often defined by entry or birth date, and retain some common characteristic (size, cohesiveness, competition) that can affect the organization. For example, cohort effects are critical issues in school enrollment.

thread_title:  Misdiagnosis 

message: In the second paragraph, the etymological trace to the ultimate source "suffer" may be apt, but as used the term patient is closer to "Patient (grammar), in linguistics, the participant of a situation upon whom an action is carried out" which in turn is linked to the older meaning of the word suffer (from definition 5 in Wiktionary) "to endure, undergo, permit, allow" that is exampled in "Suffer the little children to come unto me" from the King James Version (1611).
Also, the quote from Yoda doesn't refer to the suffering idea at all, but to the now-common usage of the word to indicate calm contented waiting. I've edited many articles but never at the top level before, and I think the paragraph in question ought to be expanded and the example changed.

thread_title:  INACCURATE DESIGNATION 

message: The official name of the station is "Once de Setiembre" (there are many references).
Both spellings, setiembre and septiembre, are used for the month in Spanish. Historically setiembre is probably best (it's the date that appears in papers to do with the publication of "Don Quijote", for example); later scholars added the "p" because they thought it followed the origins of the word. The "p" is often not pronounced even if written. This is probably regional, but in Argentina the spelling without "p" is more common. This is all academic; the real point is the official name of the station, which is given as "Once de Setiembre", e.g. on an Argentine government railway page. To make matters even more absurd there is a town called "Once de Septiembre" (in a locality called "Tres de Febrero" in Buenos Aires Province). Pol098 (talk) 21:49, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
