Invention

A twenty-five-year thread, not a single filing: nine historical patents (2000–2013), real equipment built and used along the way, and a live US provisional filed in 2026. This section documents all three, at the level of detail each stage allows.

The current filing — Glove Platform

A US provisional patent application, 64/138,972, was filed 2026-08-22, following review of roughly 250 prior-art documents.

This page is in preparation. Its final copy is being routed for patent-agent review before publication — Europe and China carry no grace period, so nothing about how the invention works is published here ahead of that review. What can already be said: it continues the thread below and the Belgian inventor’s distinction for that same work (Brussels, 2003) — see the background timeline and credential record.

Equipment & product development

Not patented — real engineering and product-design work between the 2003 distinction and the 2026 filing, published with CAD, blueprints and build photos. Currently one project on file, the Framing Table (2014) — a mobile wall-framing rig, designed, specified and built. More will be added here as they're documented.

The original patents, 2000–2013

Nine patent documents, filed 2000–2013, all lapsed, expired or withdrawn — the start of the thread that runs through the 2003 Mérite de l’Invention to the 2026 US provisional. Published here as historical record, not as active protection: real claims, real drawings, and real hand-built prototypes. Nine documents in all — keyboards, a rotating-node input device, two sensor gloves, a strain-gauge ring design and a folding tablet/e-reader — each with its own page: real claims, drawings and, for several, hand-built prototypes or official Rospatent certificates.
