Who is the patent holder?

> "Patent #7,089,218:
> "Method for inclusion of psychological temperament in an electronic
> emulation of the human brain
> "This invention incorporates temperament, emotion, feeling, personality
> and prior experiences to accurately emulate a human's thought and
> decision processes. Without these, it is highly unlikely that any system
> or neural network can accurately emulate real human beings . . . Unlike
> other approaches to the emulation of human thought, this invention
> readily permits the influence of cultural, religious and political views
> and beliefs that are unique to the personality being emulated . . .
> comprising a set of four temperament-specific parameters, each
> representing one of the four classical personality temperaments,
> Choleric, Melancholy, Sanguine and Phlegmatic."
