		<description><![CDATA[An invention exists most importantly as a tangible structure or a series of drawings. A verbal portrayal is usually an afterthought written to satisfy the requirements of patent law. This conversion of machine to words allows for unintended idea gaps which cannot be satisfactorily filled. Often the invention is novel and words do not exist to describe it.

		<description><![CDATA[You may be interested to know that up until recently, lawyers and judges wore wigs to court. The first rules governing judicial dress were formally prescribed in 1635 under the Judges' Rules. According to the Judges' Rules, an appropriately dressed judge of this time would have worn a black robe faced with miniver (light colored fur) in the winter, and violet or scarlet robes, faced with shot-pink taffeta, in summer
