Ah, I didn't address the first clause:

>> "The Employee agrees to keep the company informed of his ideas and
>> suggestions towards the technical development of the lines of equipment 
>> to
>> be engineered, sold and/or managed by the Company.  Employee further 
>> agrees
>> that he will disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions,
>> improvements, and developments, hereinafter referred to as "Inventions,"
>> conceived or made by the Employee during his employment, alone or in
>> conjunction with others, relating in any way to the business of the 
>> Company
>> or in which the Company may be interested, and that all such Inventions 
>> and
>> all information and records in regard thereto shall be assigned to and
>> become the exclusive property of the Company..."

This less all-encompassing then some such clauses, which would omit words 
like 'relatiing to the business of the Company' and 'may be interested' and 
simply attempt to completely lock your brain.

It sounds like this company is trying to be more reasonable than most, but 
still attempt to protect themselves.
