Isn't this sort of big deal? Not so much because of what the patent covers, but because the USPTO actually granted it? Claim 11, for example, specifically mentions charged particles and x-rays.
Yes, it is a big deal. I don't know what to make of it. Perhaps the P.O. has changed its policy. Maybe not . . . In the past, a few patents such Patterson's got through on a technicality. I do not know what happened here.
