Quick power cord question:

More particularly, the present invention relates to biasing a dielectric with an electrical or electrostatic potential to reduce undesirable electrical properties of the material such that signal quality between the electrical devices is enhanced.

It doesn't say or mention what is biasing the dielectric.

As for reducing undesirable electrical properties of the material, that can be another way of saying that it's making it (the dielectric) resistant to RFI without the need to spell it out, rendering the patent moot so others can't copy it.

And, in that link you provided, AQ states that they finally found a way to use DC as a shield to reject RFI and EMI, so where did I misunderstand things, and just where did the reviewer get it wrong as well?

How you can read into it that I am being contrary is just plain silly.

"Flat Earth science" If you haven't considered it recently don't give us your uninformed opinion on it. Some people are finding it works for them. I have found that if I am listening to music, get up to change a cd and leave my beer by the player, then sit back down my beer stays where I left it. If the earth was round and spinning in a circle, my beer would come to me. 

I just noticed that rodman99999 deleted the link he provided, so here it is in case anyone's wondering what was said and meant:

"Holy hanna... Brighter? You better hope not, that is a sign of bad not good...REALLY it is...

ALL, EVERY BIT of the kidding aside, brighter is NOT GOOD!!"

As (oldhvymec) said, brighter is not better.

That's not what he said. Goodness, the lengths some will go to.

?????????????????

"... that can be another way of saying that it's making it (the dielectric) resistant to RFI without the need to spell it out, rendering the patent moot so others can't copy it."

Wouldn't that make patent more, rather than less, vulnerable to copying without protection?

There was at least one patent lawyer on Audiogon. If she/he is around, maybe clarification would help.
