This article was created as a quick translation from the German Wikipedia version. It's likely the German version was abstracted from the Latvian version, as the latter article is far more detailed and extensive. The Russian version is probably useless, as it appears to be a further abstraction from the German, and shows the Soviet flag in the Infobox — pure fantasy, as Upatnieks and his parents escaped in 1944, before the Commies rolled in and subjugated Latvia. — QuicksilverT@ 12:34, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Added table of patents, copied from Latvian Wikipedia article. — QuicksilverT@ 02:06, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The Soviet flag was dropped from the Russian Wikipedia article on 18 September 2012. It now shows only the Latvian and United States flags in the Infobox. — QuicksilverT@ 23:06, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
