Chapter 19 - Patented Invention Proprietorship

Everyday in their spacious back yard, the test for any technical problem was done. Until such a time when Mr. Inventor had decided to test it to a long distance drive rather than the limited space that it was running at their back yard.

On the second thought,once a collection

of the garbages was done, a problem of its disposal would arise. His wife would

be mad of the heap of the wastes since

they only had two big waste bins.

Thus he postponed the test outside their back yard. He must have to improve his VEAS more. It should had the capability to recycle the non-biodegradable and to pulverize the biodegradable. A detector that may automatically separate wastes

between a recycable from non recycable must be programmed.

When Splash arrived home from her job he discussed that matter with her which she agreed wittily. In fact, it gave her the idea of requesting Sydney to construct a pit where she had her compost peat.

All the while, it was her plan to have her own ornamental and vegetable garden as the lot bought by Sydney was wide. She did not like to waste the spacious lot to be unused. To appreciate the gift given to her by her husband she had to plant some flowering plants, fruit trees and most of all vegetables.

Sydney was never been mistaken to buy this lot for Splash had really appreciated it by planting the vacant space.

Sydney's hard work and determination paid off not only because his purchasal of the residential lot but also it was also when he improved his VEAS victoriously.

The test was again done in their vicinity

where the vehicle sucked the garbages they intentionaly spread. As it was on its sucking mode the machine automaticaly segregated the kinds of waste.

All biodegradable wastes were crushed to small particles that Sydney poured it to the cemented pit he made. Whereas, the recyclable were also crushed into a flattened plastic bottles and tin cans.

Sydney was ready to test his VEAS out of their lot.

The following day he tested it to a place where there were many garbages. The messy place was messed up after forty five minutes. While on his way home, his

machine continued crushing the wastes it collected. Upon his arrival, he dumped those that should be in the pit while the flattened bottles and tin cans were fixed separately.

It was time for him to be registered as a member ofNational Inventor Association for the VEAS to be patented.

The process was completed as several papers were needed & a test was done.

On his back and forth to the office of the NIA- National Inventor Association, he' s able to pile the pit and the two big bins.

It was Sunday when after they had gone to church, they agreed to clean the same dumping place. While his VEAS sucked the heap on the ground,Splash turned on the video apps for the coverage of how her husband's invention could get rid of the garbages.

After several hours editing the video clip she uploaded it with the information that

the VEAS could be beneficial not only in a household, but also a community and the country as well.

It went viral & moved a television show to interview him until it caught Country P's Chief Executive' s interest to utilize

VEAS.

With his innovative three in one machine

their financial income had plummeted to

make their lives stablished. Unlike other wives, Splash was never been financially shocked to be a spendthrift.

She only bought the needs & maintained her usual self, frugal & awareness that it was very difficult to earn money.

While Sydney was reproducing his VEAS, Splash wasso busy gardening during her idle time on weekends. Like her husband she was earning from the vegetable that she was raising.

She had collected rare orchids and other ornamental plants.Her husband admired her more as she was not a parasitic wife but was also dependable.

Despite her job and studies, she still had time for him and for their daughter. With the help of only one maid, she was able to maintain the house to be spec & span

for them to live comfortably.

After one year when his VEAS became viral, it hit the international market as there were several purchasal coming from the different countries. Just as he predicted, he was ready for the machine that would be installed in a truck. The buyer had to tell him his preferred size of the truck to be installed with it.

The size of the preferred truck must be

the size of the VEAS machine. The price of the machine depends on the size any buyer would purchase. But there was a problem that had arisen. He had to go to the country of the buyer to install those

machines.

Splash did not like the idea that he must leave them for a business trip.So she did suggest to print a procedure how should it be installed in a truck. She even helped him do the work. So, upon sending those VEAS machines to the buyers through a

courier each printed procedure was put in the pamphlet together with a warranty card and a mobile phone number just in case the procedure would be confusing.

With the use of the VEAS machine every Sunday, the compost peat had become available as an organic fertilizer. Plastic bottles and tin cans had also been their other source of income.

Even without the money from his family in USA, they could live lavishly if Splash would agree.However, no matter how he convinced her, she chose to live simply.

He was even persuading her to file her resignation from her work but she was adamant with her refusal.

"Am I not doing well as a wife & as a mother to our daughter?" This was often what she would ask him.

"More than the descriptive words to tell the world that you're a perfect wife and mother." Sydney's answer to her.

"So, what's the problem? Why should I resign?"

"I do not want you to be so tired and stressed."

"Don't worry about it. If I find it really stressful and tiresome, then I'll resign."

"For now, while I am still strong and physically fit I should continue working.

That was another day of convincing & refusing between Sydney & Splash on

the topic of retirement.

Another day of discussion that turned to an argument was about the Invisible Bag Teleportation-IBS. That time, it was the other way around.Splash convinced him to have it Patented, too,as it was his first invention. However, he always turned down her suggestion.

Sydney refused so that noone should've learned about it. It would be their secret tool that could be a security device once they would be in a danger situation.

He even made another two and made an improvement of it.It was no longer a bag but a suit covering the whole body plus the head of the user. Another feature of it was making it a bullet proof.Also it has a cooling system if the weather is a hot sunny day and a heater if it is a cold day.

The modification of the IBT was really a tremendous feat that Sydney could ever had achieved. It was this invention that he did not want to reveal in the world.

Protecting this secret invention, he built a secret room with high security system that only him and his wife knew.

His restructured IBT had more accurate detector, timer, errand tools, & GPS with

the connectivity to a cell phone. It could detect a foe or an alliance.Its head cover looked like too ordinary hood but it was impenetrable with all the kinds of deadly weapon.The user can choose the time's length of his/her invisibility. A very rapid teleportation that took only five minutes from Splash's birthplace to the adjacent town with seventeen kilometers to travel was really remarkable.

This could be used in a warfare that can massacre a gigantic number of soldiers as an IBT user would have be invisible in the eyes of anyone. Indeed, this was the reason why Sydney made a secret room for this invention.

Therefore, patented or not, they have to protect these IBT / IST- Invisible Suits Teleportation. This should not be seen by anyone. The moment it'ld be patented then, it would be exposed in the eyes of

the public.

The argument of having it patented was resolved when he explained his point of view. As their daughter was growing she was persuading them to provide her her own suit like her parents.

In fact, she had her own suit but Sydney kept it hidden from her for he didn't want her to use it especially without them. His daughter was courageous like her wife that caused them to be together as she did her best decision to have a baby of her own despite that she was still single.

When they teleported all they did was to hold their daughter's hands tightly & off they'd gone through thin air.Their maid was left alone everytime they would be teleporting. But they would never reveal their secret with her.
