New in the PTC: Abraham Lincoln, the Model T, and an overview of major public works projects? Must be a new issue of Invention and Technology

There's no better way to ease into the new year than by posting a Patent and Trademark Center update, and in my hands is a doozie of a new issue of American Heritage's Invention and Technology. Featured in this issue:

• A feature about the only U.S. President to obtain a patent, Abraham Lincoln. (Number 6469, A Method of Bouying Vessels over Shoals).
• An article about sustainable power generation using the sea.
• The Ford Model T's 100th birthday.
• A timely look back at some massive public works projects.

The magazine will be on display at the Patent Center, so come on in and check it out.
