That's patent. Try the US Patent Office. I think you pay them some money and the patent is good for several decades.
Good luck and remember your friends!

Takes a long time, costs a lot of money so don't think it is going to happen over night.
Best tip, if you talk to anyone about it get them to sign a confidentiality agreement first then if they do try to steal it you will have a claim against them at law. If they won't sign, don't tell them anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! V E R Y I M P O R T A N T
Good luck.
