Claims to be the inventor of the High Resolution Image Scanning Radar and Sonar that have been used in the Persian Gulf War, the search for the Titanic, the Bismark and the scientific search for the Loch Ness Monster. An avid inventor, Rines holds more than 60 patents including foreign patents and multiple patents describing minor variations of the same subject.

Since 1972 Rines has been seeking publicity around his 'scientific' searches in Loch Ness. He has periodically produced dubious underwater photographs including one he described as a 'gargoyle head' that turned out to be a photo of a submerged log and another he called a 'flipper' that turned out to be 'computer enhanced.' (see http://www.loch-ness.org/underwaterpictures.html). He even managed to get the magazine Technology Review from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (March-April 1976) to publish a colour photograph of a supposed 'head and neck' of a monster.

His distinguished career in the patent field has been marred by his occcasional tendency to add his name to the patent applications of his clients. This practice is highly unusual and is frowned upon by his peers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PatPending1 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I've never contributed to a Wikipedia article before, but I learned that Robert Rines died yesterday so I added a link to the only article I could find on the web. Is there anything elseI need to do? I can provide a picture. He's no longer a living person so perhaps that should be changed. I tried to upload a photo, but I can't since I just created my account. I'll try again later when I'm autoconfirmed.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.226.66.51 (talk) 20:51, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Is his birthday August 20 or August 30?

The Telegraph obit lists his birthday as August 20, 1922 but the invent.org external link lists it as August 30, 1922. One of them must be a typo. There are many other web pages that list either date, but it isn't clear to me that the same typo isn't being propagated through copying. Anybody have earlier sources that might shed a light on which one is correct? I can't find any reliable sources that clear this up. --Krelnik (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I see the New York Times seems to have cleared this up. Thanks, Michael David. --Krelnik (talk) 22:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Happy editing! :-) -- Michael David (talk) 23:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
