"Herrick's Augmenter" has a nice sober, impressive ring to it; could mean
anything.  That reminds me that once there was a mail-order house whose
ads featured the following name in very impressive copper-plate writing: 
The Great American Separator Company.  I wondered about that impressive
name for quite a while until I tumbled to the fact that very likely the
separation referred to was that of customers from their money.

As to patenting...I'm done with that, thanks be.  And, of course, once
I'd "published" the idea, bye-bye patent.

And yes, if & when it's a flop, go right ahead and forget.  "Success has
a thousand fathers; failure is an orphan."
