For those of you who e-mailed me about the technical drawing featured in the June 28th Post "Technology You Haven't Seen!" , there is still no definitive answers from Dr. P at Space Command Headquarters. The executives at Canon USA won't acknowledge any proprietary research on Special Focus Invisibility, which is rumored to be the technology behind the New Canon EOS 1D Mark III. Any of my readers capable of interpreting the data featured in last week's post will have their photograph posted and excerpts from their research included in a special article on this site!
Good Luck to all!
Update :
Response from the SCH and Dr Pimento:

re: More Canon Secrets
I feel I must respond. This is, after all, a subject of unique interest to me. I am Dr. Pimento. In 1973 I earned my Ph.D. in esoteric crypto-linguistics (admittedly an obsure science). I have examined the code in the Canon 1D MkIII and have found, shall we say, "parallels" between it and the glyph-language found on fragments of the infamous Roswell "flying disc".
Canon, however they came to be in possession of this "außerirdischen" code, decided to incorporate it into the autofocus instruction set in the new 1D MkIII. They would have been well advised to contact Dr. Pimento for his input before committing themselves to production.
I have discovered an error in their translation of the code. For the present, time does not permit me to discuss the matter at greater length. All I can say at this time is, a crucial MISUNDERSTANDING of one key symbol in the code has crippled the autofocus.
God willing, Dr. Pimento will set the record straight and call the guilty to account.
