After submitting my first patent two years ago to the US Patent Office, it has finally been published online!

You can read all the juicy details here ("http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=20070079366.PGNR.&OS=DN/20070079366&RS=DN/20070079366") and you can see diagrams here ("http://aiw2.uspto.gov/.aiw?Docid=20070079366&homeurl=http%3A%2F%2Fappft1.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect1%3DPTO2%2526Sect2%3DHITOFF%2526p%3D1%2526u%3D%25252Fnetahtml%25252FPTO%25252Fsearch-bool.html%2526r%3D2%2526f%3DG%2526l%3D50%2526co1%3DAND%2526d%3DPG01%2526s1%3Dgeffner.IN.%2526OS%3DIN %2Fgeffner%2526RS%3DIN%2Fgeffner&PageNum=&Rtype=&SectionNum=&idkey=FEBFACCE07D8") if you have a TIFF-renderer browser plug-in.

This patent was from when I was still on the Firewall team at Microsoft, so it's network-related. The other patents of mine that should get published on the web over the next two years are from when I was on the Anti-Malware team at Microsoft, so they're related to binary analysis... in other words, even cooler than this one
