NSFPatents2:

• Worked on a threading mockup for the NSFPatents2 application
• Eventually we want the program to be able to download files and parse local copies at the same time.
• I'm working on creating that functionality in a separate program to see what the basic structure should be.
• Basically it has two things happening concurrently
  • Downloading of patent files
  • Parsing of patent files which have already been downloading
• It is set up currently to "download" a file and notify the parser that there is a new file to be parsed.
• If there is already a parse in progress, it should add the new file to the queue.
• If there is no parse in progress, the notify method will create a thread so that the file can be parsed.
• This way, the program properly handles adding new files to the parse whether there is a currently parsing file or not.
