Dual Screen Ergonomic Split Keyboard Notebook Computer - $750,000

Bowen -U.S. Patents - 5,502,460 - 5,644,338

This product is the outcome of two more of my patents not in my first offer. If you figure there are 3 million notebooks sold each year, then say you got 5% market share in the first or second year, and you sold this one for $1,500 that's $225,000,000 at a minimum per annum.

Advantages - Split keyboards make your wrist straight, plus allows for your reference material between the keyboards thus keeping your neck and head straight. I had one company want 500 in this config to replace their employees notebooks for just these ergonomic reasons alone. Now add in the second display with touch screen so in one instance you are on the net with the top display, have Word open on the lower display and dragging and dropping info from the net for later use, much more proficient than min/max back and forth. Or two marketing executives or engineers discussing a new product over Skype and with the touch screen on the lower display be able to draw and send back and forth for comment.

With this type of split keyboard there is no learning curve as there is with all of the angled split keyboards that flopped. They all tried to expand from my patents but because of the angle never did.

Four Product Offerings:

Tooling and Motherboard - A new motherboard would have to be designed because there are none with two LCD drives. All present notebooks have a port to only mimic the notebook display. So a startup cost estimate would be about $1 mil.

Dell - Michael called me in response to an offer I made him a few years ago. He wanted to buy them but would not tool them. I didn't have the money to tool them. IBM - said very creative design but they were not making their notebooks anymore and wanted to continue their present me to design.

Keyboards with Multidirectional Keys - $750,000

The following patents and applications are for optically sensing full travel keys. They can be used in keypads and keyboards. Using this technology a company can manufacture custom and standard line keyboards. The newer CIP applications allow for keys that sense velosity, afterpressure, and vibrato for making for making a PC keyboard to play music on a PC, and give all the attributes of real instruments. Another more revolutionary offering is a one handed full Qwerty keyboard and a cell phone full Qwerty keyboard on nine keys, applicably dubbed "The fastest one hand text messaging machine". If these patents were purchased a company could use them for making industrial keyboards and keypads, and then license the cell phone keypad part to cell phone companies giving a large income with little cash outlay.

Bowen - U.S. Patents - 6,853,366- 6,705,783

Patent Pending - Application 11/980,243 - Telephone Keypad with Multidirectional Keys

Patent Pending - Application 11/974,896 - Telephone Keypad with Quad directional Keys

Our new cell phone has a qwerty key pattern in nine keys. Each letter is only one touch away. By using multidirectional optical detection sliding keys a user can text message and have the full QWERTY pattern available with only one touch. And with the sliding action of each key they cannot be false triggered by depressing the key.

If you want a Q, then just biasing the 1 key to the left inputs the Q, one touch! On a present cell phone count the touches in texting MBFF, one touch on the 6 key for M, two touches on the 2 key for B, six touches on the 3 key for two F's, total nine touches. On this cell phone you would only touch four times, or more than twice as fast. Like the name RAY takes 9 touches on a present cell phone, on this cell phone 3 touches.

This is the single most revolutionary advancement in cell phone text messaging. This could obsolete thumb boards. Now in one hand you have the full QWERTY pattern at one touch. No more hitting the 5 key three times to get the L.

Also keeping the cell phones small form factor, and still one hand full qwerty operation.

This technology also enables individual lighting of each key. And each key can have five functions so if only three keys are added it means fifteen more functions. With the keys being multidirectional one extra key could give full cursor selection of display options. Plus being optical they don't wear out because there are no contacts.
