Microsoft Getting Into The Biowaste Business?
,----[ Quote ]
| Going to assume this one is some sort of mistake by the USPTO,
| but in scanning through the latest patents issued to Microsoft
| on Tuesday (38 of 'em) one of them stands out. While most are
| for various software things, there's also 7,174,928, which is
| for a multi-part waste container apparatus. It's a new
| (apparently) container to better "accommodate the amount of
| blood, tissues, and other biological materials generated
| during a typical surgical procedure."
