Post by RollsHmm. Had not heard this before.
Unfortunately Rolls, my sick son Bob thinks he's an "expert" in
everything. He does have a box of Éclair parts, and they may amount to a
couple whole cameras. He can't however figure out how they go back
together. Taking any "advice" from Bob is not reasonable, Rolls.
Here's a summary of the sad history of my son Bob.
Unfortunately, Bob can NEVER admit he's been beaten, or he's wrong. He
spent 12 years in college trying to write a thesis that was totally without
any scientific merit. When Drexel got tired of his bleating about not
giving him a degree, he sued them. And even after he was proven IN COURT to
have been wrong, he insisted on appealing to the Supreme Court in
Washington.
And to this day, still believes that THEY are wrong, too!
So you're not going to change him, god knows his mother tried and it killed
her.

Post by RollsDoctoral student takes intellectual property case to Supreme Court
By L. STUART DITZEN
Philadelphia Inquirer
PHILADELPHIA -Even the professors who dismissed him from a doctoral program
at Drexel University agreed that Robert Morein was uncommonly smart.
They apparently didn't realize that he was uncommonly stubborn too - so much
so that he would mount a court fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court
to challenge his dismissal.
The Supremes have already rejected this appeal, btw.
Post by Rolls"It's a personality trait I have - I'm a tenacious guy," said Morein, a
pleasantly eccentric man regarded by friends as an inventive genius. "And we
do come to a larger issue here."
An "inventive genius" that has never invented anything. And hardly
"pleasantly" eccentric.
Post by RollsA five-year legal battle between this unusual ex-student and one of
Philadelphia's premier educational institutions has gone largely unnoticed
by the media and the public.
Because no one gives a shit about a 50 year old loser.
Post by RollsBut it has been the subject of much attention in academia.
Drexel says it dismissed Morein in 1995 because he failed, after eight
years, to complete a thesis required for a doctorate in electrical and
computer engineering.
Not to mention the 12 years it took him to get thru high school!
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Post by RollsMorein, 50, of Dresher, Pa., contends that he was dismissed only after his
thesis adviser "appropriated" an innovative idea Morein had developed in a
rarefied area of thought called "estimation theory" and arranged to have it
patented.
A contention rejected by three courts. From a 50 YEAR OLD that has
done NOTHING PRODUCTIVE with his life.
Post by RollsIn February 2000, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Esther R. Sylvester
ruled that Morein's adviser indeed had taken his idea.
An idea that was worth nothing, because it didn't work. Just like
Robert Morein, who has never worked a day in his life.
Post by RollsSylvester held that Morein had been unjustly dismissed and she ordered
Drexel to reinstate him or refund his tuition.
Funnily enough, Drexel AGREED to reinstate Morein, who rejected the
offer because he knew he was and IS a failed loser. Spending daddy's
money to cover up his lack of productivity.
Post by RollsThat brought roars of protest from the lions of academia. There is a long
tradition in America of noninterference by the courts in academic decisions.
Backed by every major university in Pennsylvania and organizations
representing thousands of others around the country, Drexel appealed to the
state Superior Court.
The appellate court, by a 2-1 vote, reversed Sylvester in June 2001 and
restored the status quo. Morein was, once again, out at Drexel. And the
time-honored axiom that courts ought to keep their noses out of academic
affairs was reasserted.
The state Supreme Court declined to review the case and, in an ordinary
litigation, that would have been the end of it.
But Morein, in a quixotic gesture that goes steeply against the odds, has
asked the highest court in the land to give him a hearing.
Daddy throws more money down the crapper.
Post by RollsHis attorney, Faye Riva Cohen, said the Supreme Court appeal is important
even if it fails because it raises the issue of whether a university has a
right to lay claim to a student's ideas - or intellectual property - without
compensation.
"Any time you are in a Ph.D. program, you are a serf, you are a slave," said
Cohen. Morein "is concerned not only for himself. He feels that what
happened to him is pretty common."
It's called HIGHER EDUCATION, honey. The students aren't in charge,
the UNIVERSITY and PROFESSORS are.
Post by RollsDrexel's attorney, Neil J. Hamburg, called Morein's appeal - and his claim
that his idea was stolen - "preposterous."
"I will eat my shoe if the Supreme Court hears this case," declared Hamburg.
"We're not even going to file a response. He is a brilliant guy, but his
intelligence should be used for the advancement of society rather than
pursuing self-destructive litigation."
No shit sherlock.
Post by RollsThe litigation began in 1997, when Morein sued Drexel claiming that a
committee of professors had dumped him after he accused his faculty adviser,
Paul Kalata, of appropriating his idea.
His concept was considered to have potential value for businesses in
minutely measuring the internal functions of machines, industrial processes
and electronic systems.
The field of "estimation theory" is one in which scientists attempt to
calculate what they cannot plainly observe, such as the inside workings of a
nuclear plant or a computer.
My estimation theory? There is NO brain at work inside the head of
Robert Morein, only sawdust.
Post by RollsPrior to Morein's dismissal, Drexel looked into his complaint against Kalata
and concluded that the associate professor had done nothing wrong. Kalata,
through a university lawyer, declined to comment.
At a nonjury trial before Sylvester in 1999, Morein testified that Kalata in
1990 had posed a technical problem for him to study for his thesis. It
related to estimation theory.
Kalata, who did not appear at the trial, said in a 1998 deposition that a
Cherry Hill company for which he was a paid consultant, K-Tron
International, had asked him to develop an alternate estimation method for
it. The company manufactures bulk material feeders and conveyors used in
industrial processes.
Morein testified that, after much study, he experienced "a flash of
inspiration" and came up with a novel mathematical concept to address the
problem Kalata had presented.
Without his knowledge, Morein said, Kalata shared the idea with K-Tron.
K-Tron then applied for a patent, listing Kalata and Morein as co-inventors.
Morein said he agreed "under duress" to the arrangement, but felt "locked
into a highly disadvantageous situation." As a result, he testified, he
became alienated from Kalata.
As events unfolded, Kalata signed over his interest in the patent to K-Tron.
The company never capitalized on the technology and eventually allowed the
patent to lapse. No one made any money from it.
Because it was bogus. Even Kalata was mortified that he was a victim
of this SCAMSTER, Robert Morein.
Post by RollsIn 1991, Morein went to the head of Drexel's electrical engineering
department, accused Kalata of appropriating his intellectual property, and
asked for a new faculty adviser.
The staff at Drexel laughed wildly at the ignorance of Robert Morein.
Post by RollsHe didn't get one. Instead, a committee of four professors, including
Kalata, was formed to oversee Morein's thesis work.
Four years later, the committee dismissed him, saying he had failed to
complete his thesis.
So Morein fucks up his first couple years, gets new faculty advisers
(a TEAM), and then fucks up again! Brilliant!
Post by RollsMorein claimed that the committee intentionally had undermined him.
Morein makes LOTS of claims that are nonsense. One look thru the
usenet proves it.
Post by RollsJudge Sylvester agreed. In her ruling, Sylvester wrote: "It is this court's
opinion that the defendants were motivated by bad faith and ill will."
So much for political machine judges.
Post by RollsThe U.S. Supreme Court receives 7,000 appeals a year and agrees to hear only
about 100 of them.
Hamburg, Drexel's attorney, is betting the high court will reject Morein's
appeal out of hand because its focal point - concerning a student's right to
intellectual property - was not central to the litigation in the
Pennsylvania courts.
Morein said he understands it's a long shot, but he feels he must pursue it.
Just like all the failed "causes" Morein pursues. Heck, he's been
chasing another "Brian McCarty" for years and yet has ZERO impact on
anything.
Failure. Look it up in Websters. You'll see a picture of Robert
Morein. The poster boy for SCAMMING LOSERS.
Post by Rolls"I had to seek closure," he said.
Without a doctorate, he said, he has been unable to pursue a career he had
hoped would lead him into research on artificial intelligence.
Who better to tell us about "artificial intelligence".
BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Post by RollsAs it is, Morein lives at home with his father and makes a modest income
from stock investments. He has written a film script that he is trying to
make into a movie. And in the basement of his father's home he is working on
an invention, an industrial pump so powerful it could cut steel with a
bulletlike stream of water.

Post by RollsBut none of it is what he had imagined for himself.
"I don't really have a replacement career," Morein said. "It's a very
gnawing thing."
