¡Hola! Vamos a empezar de nuevo. Saben que esta es casi nuestra última
clase, así que por favor prepárense para sus exámenes. Traten de estar
bien preparados para hacer sus estudios y los exámenes. Así que estaré
ahí. De todos modos, todo va a ser bien. Bueno, vamos a hacer el curso

intervention. So, do you have any other questions? idea what you want to do
when you finish school. Actually, I'd love to be an inventor like you, but
I'm not sure how to make that happen. Are you sure it's what you want to
do? Definitely, but I know that all inventors make a good living, but not
all inventors make a good living. I probably need to have another career as
well. You're right. I work as an electrical engineer to pay the bills, and
I invent things in my free time. I've taken out three patents. I want to
study engineering too. It sounds really interesting. Engineering teaches
you to design things using science and math. This knowledge is extremely
important. But I still have to finish high school. What can I do today?
When I was your age, I built and took apart lots of things. I love doing
that. I'm taking apart my brother's old car motor. I'm learning a lot about
how motors work. Why don't you visit my research laboratory? Really?
Thanks. That would be great. So, the young man asks the engineer what he
has to do to be an inventor again, because he wants to do the same thing.
But the inventor says to him, you'd better look for another career first,
and in your free time, there's an inventor. And what do you do now? Well, I
take out an old motor from my brother, and I try to rebuild things like
that. And he says, Exclusividad. Exist. Existir. Great deal of time. Mucho

El proceso de patente. Aquí tenemos un artículo interesante. It takes a
great deal of time for a private inventor to build an invention that works.
First, the inventor must come up with an original idea. The next stage is
to build a prototype or some sort of model. If this goes well, the inventor
begins to build the invention. It may take money, months or even years
until there is a prototype. The first example of the new invention. The
process is extremely long and in general, inventors don't get paid during
this time period. Patents were created so that inventors would be able to
make a living from their invention. How does it work? The process varies.
It varies from country to country. But the basic idea is the same. The
inventor submits a patent application that shows that the invention is
original and useful. If the inventor receives the patent, it gives him
exclusive rights to make money from the invention. But the exclusive rights
don't last forever. There is a time limit on the exclusivity, usually
around 20 years. Let's look at an example to see how it works. Dishwashers
have worked in the same way for years. Let's say Jill invents a dishwasher
that works in a completely new way and applies for a patent. To receive the
patent, she has to prove that her dishwasher is significantly different
from dishwashers that are made next year. After a long process, her patent
is approved. Now she can try to make money from her invention. Of course,
that isn't easy either. She will need to find someone who will want to
manufacture her new dishwasher and market it to the public. Investors will
only decide to manufacture a new invention if they believe there is a
target market for it. If it's a big success, Jill might become very
wealthy. However, many inventors aren't able to find someone to invest in
their invention. And even if they do, their product may still not sell. For
every successful money-making invention, there are thousands and thousands
of others that fail, challenging their inventors to try it again. Isn't
that interesting? Let's see. More words. Attract. Bottle. Molestar. Cap.

to be kidding. Estás bromeando. What do you think of my invention? So,
Cree, what do you do for a living? I'm an inventor. That's fascinating. You
must really enjoy your work. I do. Right now, I'm trying to build a dog
umbrella. Really? You mean an umbrella for your dog? What holds that? The
umbrella is strapped to the dog's back. Does it look like a regular
umbrella? Not really. It's more like a small plastic house. Doesn't it fall
off the dog? Actually, that's the problem I'm not used to. I was thinking
of using magnets to keep your umbrella in place. I have a dog and I don't
think that it's comfortable. No creo que quiera usar una abuela, pero ¿no
es un reloj? No, él ama correr en el reloj. Creo que mi perro se vería
extraño con una abuela en su pecho. Supongo que no te gusta mi
inventación. Déjame decirte sobre otro. Así que, él hará más

sure what they want to do with their life, but not just a greenwood. At the
age of 15, he invented something that would... support him financially, for
the rest of his life. He invented earmuffs. As the expression goes,
necessity is the mother of invention, Chester Greenwood's ears were
extremely sensitive to cold, and he wanted to keep them warm. One
particular recall day when he was skating, he came up with an idea for a
new product that could protect his ears. He enlisted the help of his...
grandmother. First, Chester bent some wire into the required shape. He
wrapped the wire in soft insulating material so that the heat would stay
there. Then, he wrapped a part of the earmuffs that covers the ears and fur
and velvet. Finally, his grandmother stitched the pieces together. In
1876... 77. At the age of 18, he received a patent for his invention. He
soon built a factory and started producing thousands of earmuffs annually.
He took out another 130 patents during his lifetime. It's important to note
that one major reason for Chester's success was the simplicity of this
invention. Very often, the most successful ideas are the ones that are the
simplest. Isn't that nice? So, my science photo. Sally, what are you going
to do for the science fair this year? I'd like to invent something but I'm
not sure where to begin. Think of something unique. You know what they say.
Necessity is the model of invention. Well, there's one thing I especially
need. What's that? Something to help me with my keys. I lose them all the
time. Maybe I can invent something that will help me find them. Great idea.
I also hate losing my keys. How would it work? Maybe the keys could flash
or sound an alarm. Okay, but that won't help if they are far away. You're
right. I need something that can send a signal from the people. That makes
more sense. I have to start thinking very carefully. Think seriously about
this. I'm glad you're serious about your project. But please know that the
science fair is next month. Your project has to be done by then. A

artículo muy bonito. Vamos a buscarlo. After 42 years, Roddy Caillou was
paralyzed nearly 20 years ago. Doctors told him he would never walk again.
Today he is not only walking, he is climbing stairs. How? With a brilliant
new invention called ReWalk. ReWalk consists of a number of components.
There are several black and grey straps that wrap around the legs and hips.
Motorized leg supports are worn on the outside of both legs. But the most
important component is a large backpack that holds the computerized control
box with rechargeable batteries. You'd expect such a device to be as heavy
as lead, but surprisingly it can be worn on the back, strapped around the
body and over the shoulders. Learning to use the device is very simple. In
fact, for Rod, it was like a walk in the park. He easily mastered control
of the device in five two-hour lessons. So how does it work? You choose one
of five settings from the remote control worn on your wrist. Stand, sit,
walk, go down or clap. You then lean forward, touching the body sensors.
This causes the robotic legs to move. But the user still has complete
control over the device. At around 50,000 feet. You're patient. Rewalk is
expensive. But for Caillou, it's a life-changing invention. He won't forget
the day he stood up for the first time in front of his three-year-old and
heard her say happily, Father, you are tall. Isn't it wonderful? I think it
is. If you never walk again, if you're paralyzed, and then even if you need
a lot of machines, you can walk again. What's more beautiful than that? And
even if it costs a huge amount of money, it's $50,000. It's really a big
price. But what does it mean if you can walk again? I think it's wonderful.
So we saw quite a few. Inventions today. Maybe the earmuffs are
interesting. Because I think everybody uses them in wintertime. And then we
learned about the patenting process. How does it work? So it's interesting
too. And this was then the course for today. I hope you will have a nice
week. And please study well for your exam. Okay?
