And then we should remember that the patent is on the way of getting the synchronisation, not frequency hoping as such an already know technology. And the connection to Bluetooth and Wifi get down to almost 0.

Or rather she was part of a team, with her husband and one more, that patented that idea, never really got it to work in real torpedos, and the technology was forgotten until someone referred to it in a later patent. Then her role as background got expanded to take the role of other more influential women, maybe because she had a nicer picture.

For the Bluetooth development, the developers of the technology didn’t know about her patent until their IP department was about to file for a patent. They added this patent to the list and then they got connected. As is the case with many, patent and patent connections. It’s a quite common way of how patents are connected, and part of the IP industry. R&D people come up with an idea, these people don’t read tons of patents but solve issues in an intuitive way. Then IP lawers dig into existing patents and make the legal connections.
