Claims to be the inventor of the High Resolution Image Scanning Radar and Sonar that have been used in the Persian Gulf War, the search for the Titanic, the Bismark and the scientific search for the Loch Ness Monster. An avid inventor, Rines holds more than 60 patents including foreign patents and multiple patents describing minor variations of the same subject.

Since 1972 Rines has been seeking publicity around his 'scientific' searches in Loch Ness. He has periodically produced dubious underwater photographs including one he described as a 'gargoyle head' that turned out to be a photo of a submerged log and another he called a 'flipper' that turned out to be 'computer enhanced.' (see http://www.loch-ness.org/underwaterpictures.html). He even managed to get the magazine Technology Review from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (March-April 1976) to publish a colour photograph of a supposed 'head and neck' of a monster.

His distinguished career in the patent field has been marred by his occcasional tendency to add his name to the patent applications of his clients. This practice is highly unusual and is frowned upon by his peers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PatPending1 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
