Graham Dodge wanted to check a box for investors seeking security for his crowdsourced sickness forecasting startup Sickweather, he said. Obtaining a patent for the technology, however, proved a tougher task to chart.  “We just wanted to protect ourselves to build value in the company,” said Dodge, CEO of Sickweather, as well as Garnish Health, a reciprocating donation platform for health care funds. “We had a lot of investors early on who asked us if we had any intellectual property protection. And a patent is a great way to have that IP protection.” Click here to read more about Sickweather, a member of the inaugural Sprint Accelerator class in Kansas City. After filing for a provisional patent, the application was rejected time and again by Sickweather’s patent examiner, Dodge said.  “At one point, we resigned from thinking that we’d ever get the patent, and adopted the now-popular notion that patents aren’t actually worth much these days — or they aren’t defensible for a startup,” he said, noting the Baltimore-born startup spent more than $100,000 through the patent application process.  “It was the office actions and the back and forth with our legal counsel [that] rapidly...

A Costco membership opens doors, quite literally, to a vast selection of bulk-size groceries and household goods selling at discounted prices.

The Duchess of Cornwall is currently on a three-day visit to Cornwall with her husband Prince Charles and her working wardrobe has been as first-rate as always. The 71-year-old was seen enjoying the sunshine on Tuesday as she arrived at a garden party to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ginsters bakery in Callington. The mother-of-two decided to opt for a pastel blue frock that was adorned with the cutest cream floral print. Accessorising to perfection, she added a  pearl necklace and nude high heels and looked fresh and lightly tanned. Did you notice her handbag though? The Duchess carried a lovely tote bag, in a light cream – by DeMellier London. The £295 arm candy is known as the ‘Mini Venice’ and you can purchase it in a variety of different shades including purple and blush pink. Camilla also has this bag in green, so it is clearly one of her faves. The Duchess of Sussex sported this very same design in green too, back in January 2018, on an official visit to Cardiff. The mother-of-one wore a smart black jacket by Stella McCartney and a matching scarf, while wearing trousers by Welsh brand Hieut Denim, and a pair of black velvet heeled boots. Her bag was ...

After successfully launching Thursday Boot Co. in 2014 via a Kickstarter campaign, brand co-founder and CEO Nolan Walsh is embarking on yet another project: the recent debut of Nothing New, a direct-to-consumer collection of sustainable, vegan sneakers. Each shoe is made of 100% post-consumer recycled plastic — including the laces — and the heel counters are created with upcycled industrial fishing nets. The outsoles are also composed of natural rubber, recycled rubber and cork, while the comfortable Ortholite ECO35 insoles are made of 5% recycled rubber content. (Even the shoe tag produced with recycled cotton.) “We want to positively impact our community, our industry and our planet,” said Walsh. “By developing best-in-class sustainable products and investing in programs to minimize our environmental footprint, we hope to raise the bar for what customers expect from brands and contribute to the change we want to see in the world.” Related Native’s Cool New Summer Sneaker Is Made From Plants and 100% Biodegradable Sperry’s Latest Athleisure Sneakers Are Made With Plastic Recovered From the Ocean Could a ‘Fast Fashion Tax’ Help Make the Industry More Sust...

It’s ridiculously easy to lay hands on a cheap DC-to-AC inverter these days. They’re in just about every discount or variety store and let you magically plug in mains powered devices where no outlets exist. Need 120- or 240-VAC in your car? No problem – a little unit that plugs into the lighter socket is available for a few bucks. So are these commodity items worth building yourself? Probably not as [GreatScott!] explains, but learning how they work and what their limitations are will probably help your designs. The cheapest and most common inverters have modified square wave outputs, which yield a waveform that’s good enough for most electronics and avoids the extra expense of producing a pure sinusoidal output. He explains that the waveform is just a square wave with a slight delay at the zero-crossing points to achieve the stepped pattern, and shows a simple H-bridge circuit to produce it. He chose to drive the output section with an Arduino, to easily produce the zero-crossing delay. He uses this low-voltage inverter to demonstrate how much more complicated the design needs to get to overcome the spikes caused by inductive loads and the lack of feedback from the output. Bott...
