Actually they do offer patent specifications and paperwork (for a price,
of course) on their 3-D Products Catalog.

This must be a limited time offer, since the deal, sounds to good to
be true! ;-)
Seriously though, I had a good laugh with the ad on that page. He sure
does have a great imagination. If only it was put to good use.

On a related note, I read an interesting item about the Pulfrich effect
in Zap Science from Klutz. Here is an excerpt.

Meet Carl Pulfrich

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this illusion is that it was
predicted before it was discovered. Carl Pulfrich, the man for whom it
is named, understood vision so well that he knew this illusion would
exist before anyone had ever stumbled onto it. He ran the whole thing
in his head. Then told his laboratory assistants exactly what to do,
exactly what to expect, and he was exactly right. Pulfrich, incidentally,
never saw the illusion himself. He was blind in one eye!
