SV-CC Team,
For your ease of reference, I looked up this patent in
the U.S. Patent Office's online database. Here is a link:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1
&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,141,630.WKU.&OS=PN/6,141,630&RS=P
N/6,141,630
The information is detailed and extensive, as one would
expect in any patent.
There appears to be no C API described or even mentioned
in the patent. I assume you're sending a similar request
to the other committees, Vassilios. It seems like SV-AC
and SV-EC are the committees working on technology nearest
to this patent.
Regards,
Doug Warmke
