I work at a long term care facility and was recently asked by a 
supervisor if I could make an interface to our call light system that 
was sound activated.  I in fact did that.  So now I have a "box" of 
electronics that I am perfectly willing to hand over to them to use.  My 
question is this... Should I try to patent this or would this cost more 
money then I could recoup in a narrow market place? This iteration of 
the Box does not involve software or firmware that I altered in any way, 
its just off the shelf electronic modules that I made work together for 
a specific purpose.

In this case it was so a quadriplegic person could activate a call light 
and summon a nurse.

Thanks for any input,

Rob
