I think I got mislead by the original comment - thank you for explaining that to me. I don't have a horse in e-ink race, but the interesting patent I came across recently is this one: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170060527A1/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170060527A1/en It's a good example how obvious things get patented these days. Essentially if you want to do a circuit simulation of an electronic device, to make it more realistic you of course want to simulate real world values of components and not the nominal ones in the schematic. Someone else who I showed it to said that they essentially patented Monte Carlo method...
