Better the old fashioned way: spoon it out of the jar (preferably just real peanut butter - no JIF or Skippy) and enjoy - maybe with some honey or melted chocolate on the spoon too. "Double dipping" contamination is a potential issue but I leave that to a Seinfeld episode.

You have to read what a patent is about. Sometimes it's not evident. The Dahlquist patent for the DQ 10 is a great case in point. Given it's design and hoopla one would assume it was for the time alignment of the speaker. It wasn't. The patent was for the iron angles bent at 90 degrees used to hold the individual panels on. I was shown the patent by a friend who had a patent attorney for some tube/FET combinations. His attorney looked up the Dahlquist patent for him. It blew my mind when I saw the real patent. I wonder how many times this kind of thing has occurred. By the way I don't mean this to be any comment on the Dahlquist's performance.
- Here's a link to the 1974 patent; I beg to differ--it covers the loudspeaker - John Marks 07:42:25 01/04/24 (0)
  I am not a patent expert, but, Dahlquist's 1974 patent 3,824,343 does seem to cover the loudspeaker's basic design, and not just a bracket.
  
  Now, Dahlquist does have three other patents, but, nobody is paying me to read them.

- You mean Dahlquist invented L-brackets? - Brian H P 12:18:51 01/03/24 (2)
  I guess they were a specialized permutation of that centuries-old concept?

    They had a patent approved for their idea that the front shifter and the rear shifter should both use the same type of rechargable battery.
    Duh!
    Using two identical batteries would appear to be very sensible and desirable. Very far from innovative or earth shattering .....

    Just for this particular application. I was amazed. I, like I'm sure many of us, assumed the patent had something to do with tile alignment. I suspect that was intended for advertising purposes. We usually assume a patent is some kind of validation of a new idea.
