d subsection for my invention!

Late last night (or early this morning), I finally made an addendum for my invention, the Periodic Table for the Visually Impaired. Honestly, I had meant to do so weeks ago, but... well, let's just say I've been enjoying the time off since the spring semester ended.
(smile)
As timing seems to work for me, the readying of my invention for the Industrial Patent application fell just before I went on Barbara's mountain vacation. By the time the kinks were worked out a week ago Friday, Bob Montgomery of MIPA went on his vacation.
I hadn't known that part.
So, I returned last Tuesday thinking that things were rolling along.
But they were, instead, at a standstill.
That was really to my benefit.
Without those extra few days, I would not have had a more complete product to be patented.
i thank You, God.

So, here is what I emailed (at 1:18 AM today) to Stephanie, my caseworker at MIPA.

"Stephanie,

I am again bringing up what I had written before,

'On page 2, line 26, it is specified - correctly - that "The device 10 provides a type of periodic table of elements (minus the Transitional elements) having features particularly suited for a visually impaired user."
Perhaps a line could be added that "The Transitional Elements can be added to 10 in the future, as a temporary attachment at fold line 50b. The attachment would be composed of the same materials as on 10. The Lanthanides and Actinides can be added to 10 in the future, as well, as a temporary attachment under fold line 50c."
I think that would add further protection, as it would extend the Patent to include an entire representation of the known Periodic Table.
Thoughts on that?'

This week, I have created the addendum with the Transitional Elements, for the "d" energy sublevel. It consists of four rows and ten columns, as well as a deliberately blank space on the left. (Please refer to Figure1-TransE.)

I designed the addendum to be able to be folded for storage within the hanging folder embodiment, as shown in Figure2-TransE and Figure3-TransE.

The fold line is located between the fourth and fifth column of the addendum. (The blank space on the left is not counted as a column.)

Rather than have it attach to the Periodic Table, the addendum can be simply inserted. The addendum has a deliberately blank space which is four inches in width along its left side. When the left edge of the addendum is against fold line 50a (of the Figure MIPA already created), and the lower edge of the addendum is aligned with the bottom of the Periodic Table, then the addendum is in perfect position and will extend over the right side of the Periodic Table. (See Figure4-TransE.)

The Periodic Table can then be folded along fold line 50b (of the Figure MIPA already created), such that the atomic numbers then run in the proper sequence. (See Figure5-TransE.)

Figure6-TransE shows the entire combination of the Periodic Table, with fold lines 50b and 50a in folded positions, and the ten columns of the addendum. Please note that the atomic numbers in place are all correct . (I have not included the Lanthanides and Actinides, which account for the jump in numbers seen in the lower two rows of the addendum. Again, the numbers I have in place are all correct.)

So... I am hoping this can be included in the Patent Application.
Please do call if there are any questions."

Mr. Montgomery will return to the office tomorrow.
I'll be hoping he likes my idea and can quickly draw it up for inclusion with the Patent application.
I'll be hoping...
