Draws quasiperiodic tilings; think of the implications on modern formica technology. In April 1997, Sir Roger Penrose, a British math professor who has worked with Stephen Hawking on such topics as relativity, black holes, and whether time has a beginning, filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against the Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which Penrose said copied a pattern he created (a pattern demonstrating that "a nonrepeating pattern could exist in nature") for its Kleenex quilted toilet paper. Penrose said he does n't like litigation but, "When it comes to the population of Great Britain being invited by a multinational to wipe their bottoms on what appears to be the work of a Knight of the Realm, then a last stand must be taken."

Dearann sé seo tílithe garpheiriadacha; déan machnamh ar an tionchar ar theicneolaíocht nua- aimseartha formica. Scríofa ag Timo Korvola. Is matamaiticeoir Sasanach é Sir Roger Penrose, a bhfuil obair déanta aige in éineacht le Stephen Hawking ar choibhneasacht, dúphoill, agus an tosach aimsire. In Aibreán 1997, chomhdaigh sé cúis dlí ar Kimberly- Clark Corporation maidir le sárú cóipchirt. Dúirt sé gur chóipeáil Kimberly- Clark patrún a chruthaigh sé le haghaidh a bpáipéar leithris cuilteach Kleenex. Dúirt Penrose nach maith leis dlíthíocht, ach, `` When it comes to the population of Great Britain being invited by a multinational to wipe their bottoms on what appears to be the work of a Knight of the Realm, then a last stand must be taken.
