Phlogiston and Wicking



Mr. Joe Biden
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
WashingtonDC 20500

  

Dear Mr. Biden,

  

In 2011, I got surprised that the American President Barack Obama assigned a physician Dr. Regina Benjamin as a General Surgeon. Dr. Benjamin was around 43 lbs overweight and supposed to lead Americans to fights an ever-growing obesity spreading around the world. Later she said that she was not doing fitness to avoid spoiling her hair. Then, I recorded this video below to highlight POOR DECISION MAKING in the US: 

https://youtu.be/E3d-JRg28p8 

Well, Albert Einstein was far smarter by just stretching out his tongue. Frankly speaking, obesity was not an important issue during his time. At that time, food was scarce and machinery not so plenty to replace body work.

I got no answer from the Vice-President Kamala Harris on letters sent Nov 7. 2020, and again updated on Jan 20, 2021. I was requesting support for a new science HYDROTECNOLOGY in the US, grounded by US pat. 6,766,817. It seems that my PhD diploma of Penn State Univ..and my issued patent by USPTO are worthless. The credibility of American high education and the patenting system are not that serious for respecting SCIENCE as the pandemic outcome is pointing out.

I am just a farm boy never dreaming to get famous or wealthy. My main regret that the US Government is not respecting science is that Sars-CoV-2 is taking lives of about 4 (7) million people in the world. More Americans died by COVID-19 than combined two World wars, Vietnam and Iraqi wars. The sad side is young parents leaving orphans behind as well as people perishing early in their life cycle. I believe that humans can do better on such affairs.

I must advise you that ignoring nature and violation of science can always get worse. China lost just 4,436 lives facing a challenge with a virus born at home. China was capable of vaccinating 20 million people in a single day intending to vaccinate most of its 1,4 billion people in three months. The Sars-CoV-2 variants are a wise hint that this virus can work by itself improving and struggling to keep going sharpening biodiversity of life beings. 

THERE IS NO WICK/WICKING IN HYDROLOGY SCIENCE. In the last century in the patenting system, Americans have been addressing heat conductivity in 150,851 issued patents, electric conductivity in 120,034 issued patents, but hydraulic conductivity in just 1,149 issued patents. Lay people in collusion with US Government try to address fluids moving on porosity as wick mentioned in 48,528 issued patents, blatantly skirting common knowledge on libraries and violating science with fraud. Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity (wicking for lay people) is mentioned in 35 issued patents.

Well, politicians and Lawyers have no understanding on scientific affairs, but the academic community connected to libraries were supposed to do much better protecting the integrity and fairness of science which address nature functioning. 

Just to remind you that the PHLOGISTON THEORY had a similar outcome to WICKING in the past. But, Antoine Lavoisier at the age of 50 was due rewarded as the father of Modern Chemistry by execution in the guillotine. 

Since Americans are not that ready yet for HONESTY and TRANSPARENCY, you have my address in case you intend to send a drone. 

 

Kind regards,

Hydrology Breakthrough vs. USPTO Conspiracy


"Violation of science: bad apples and/or systems failure?"

Why Bad Apples Spoil the Barrel?



The Conspiracy – USPTO is running a broad Reinvention Scheme that let Lawyers writing scientific patents and allowing IP rights of issues they are not known in the art!


‘...  If you have a point to make about my treatment of hydrological concepts, I ask that you take the time to explain your specific points of disagreement.  I note that my work is better represented in my publications (available at http://www.stroockgroup.org/home/publicationsthan in patents, as the lawyers have been translated the latter into legalese that I do not understand.

Food for thought – If an inventor PhD from Harvard can have USPTO issued patents to protect his intellectual property rights but he does NOT understand it, how much the Patent Attorney and Patent Examiner knows about the issue granted protection by US Government. If it holds true, it means that Lawyers know about science more than scientists doAmazing! I just imagine Albert Einstein trying to get patents with his scientific papers .. . It means that those guys in the patenting affairs would handle Theory of Relativity more than him . . . Now I understand why Americans are the leaders of the world . . . awesome, this is simply magical. Mayday Mr. Snowden .  . .mayday mother nature!

My ‘scientific breakthrough’ deals deeply with Hydrogeology/Soil Physics/Hydrology. When I took classes at the Pennsylvania State University of such disciplines during my PhD in Soil Science I remember seeing no single Law student as classmate.

If my patent was being violated I had simple questions to pursue:

·       Was it a casual violation or a clear biased trend?
·       Had the examiner already cited my patent earlier?
·       Did the inventors and examiner have technical-scientific background in the issue?
·       Was the violator a wealthy party?
·       Was the examiner citing my patent to be sure he was granting new claims not claimed before?
·   Why my issued patent was being randomly cited for irrelevant patents and ignored when violated blatantly?

You are a fool--- 

If you can’t understand legal or technical writing, you have no business blogging about it 

Wicking” is a term of art---fluid will travel in any direction via the fibers—regardless of gravity

-------------------

"Wick/wicking is in the patent classification system but not on HYDROLOGY textbooks."


LEGAL WICKING as the term of the art regardless of gravity confirms USPTO long standing bias ignoring hydrology on conductivity parameters of issued patents (11/30/23):


Thermal/Heat Conductivity                       176.074 pat.

Electric/Electrical Conductivity                139.254 pat.

Hydraulic Conductivity                                  1.329 pat.

Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity                  38 pat.

Wick/wicking                                                      66.415 pat.


The US Government states that LEGAL WICKING is not technical, being inert to gravity LAW, meaning that LEGAL OIL LAMPS and LEGAL CANDLES can work upsided down. This sort of deceiving is behind the Economic Melting Down of 2008 burning about 41 trillion dollars, also dumping 1,1 million American as the leader of the COVID-19 pandemic catastrophe that  took around 7 million lives world widely. In addition, obesity and sedentarism letting human beings miss brain capacity by becoming grumpier and dumber on neurogenesis effect.

Science is our understanding on nature functioning. Humans learn to respect nature early as babies on the first steps taming gravity for walking and running. Soon we understand the consequences of missteping and falling down. Therefore, all issued patents dealing with wick/wicking are CERTAINLY frauded because PATENT EXAMINERS ignored their homework from the beginning of their lives - GRAVITY

Sir Isaac Newton defined the Law of Universal Gravitation in 1687. He was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a tree.

Mr. Silva, has anyone ever called you a nutcase

Are people out to get you? 

Are you having some trouble keeping up with your medications?

Dr. Owen, my medicine is a bit bitter than that one swallowed by Albert Einstein by just stretching his tongue:

This email from an Emeritus Faculty of Educational Psychology provided valuable insights and feedback showing how deep the academic community is compromised on scientific affairs in the US.They were supposed to know that Darcy’s Law on Hydraulic Conductivity is not written in the US constitution, but endorsed by Mother Nature.


____________________________________________________________________________________

Nobel Prize is IMPORTANT TO HUMAN KIND, as 50% is business, 40% politics, 5% bad science and 5% good science from an educated abstraction. Nobel Prize Nomination of Economic Science was introduced to pretend that Human Business could overlap nature functioning. THE US AS THE FIRST ECONOMIC POWER IN THE WORLD GRABBED TWO-THIRDS (411/621) OF NOBEL PRIZE NOMINATIONS FOR SCIENCE. Exploratory Analysis shows that the American scientific community has been violating Hydrology science in the Patenting System more than a century, leaving a gap huge enough for a new science Hydrotechnology.  It seems that working with the Chemistry of explosives is far more profitable than the Hydrology of self-watering flower pots. Mr. Alfred Nobel, Arms Dealer and Father of Dynamite, got 355 patents and Albert Einstein got 50 issued patents to portray top scientists claiming intellectual property rights. Obesity, Economic Melt Dow, COVID-19 tragedies, and now Reinvention Policy by USPTO are important evidence of American negligence to science misbalance with Nature.

How much NATURE endorses the Economy and Politics? Sunlight and rain come to us FREE OF CHARGE making the Economy not a science, but a distorted human affair as basic Laws of offer and demand is being replaced by GREED and FEAR. Likewise,  recent wars in Ukraine and Israel show us that Politics can’t be science, but a wicked manipulation on human issues wasting innocent lives and spoiling the landscape for weaponry industry profit and disguised interest as Homo sapiens misses simple rationality.

In my neighborhood, I saw the Scientific Police taking pictures of swings I installed on trees for children in the Park during the COVID-19 pandemic lock down. Society try to employ the word SCIENCE for POWER, but there is a misunderstanding as scientific principles claim TRANSPARENCY and HONESTY. Nature is in charge of SCIENCE as there is no POLICE to enforce Nature LAWS. Even religion try to use Scientology for credibility. I like the simple conception that God = Nature. However, Nature writes no books, promises no lands, no life after death, no war or death in name of a divine. In around 4 billions of years of our planet, it seems that we got no aliens to affect our evolution. Most probable we are not leaving our home until the end in 4 to 6 billions of years. Human challenge is to keep nuclear weapons safe, cropping soils, mining our minerals and preserve our home in balance with nature functioning, making our blue planet good for all humans.

What we see in the universe is just for light travelling.

It seems that few scientists do understand the meaning of their titles PhD Philosophy Doctor coming from Philosophy of Science (Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logics, and History of Science).












On Sep. 16, 2007 I sent a letter to Ecolab, Inc. advising them that their patent application 20070212281 (Sep. 13, 2007) was violating mine US 6,766,817 (Jul. 25, 2001), and that it had a scientific flaw failing to deliver fluid. I got no answer, but I also sent a letter to USPTO notifying about this blatant flaw and violations. In the Fig. 1 water only drips if the porous device crosses the water table reference downward from the Unsaturated to the Saturated Hydraulic Zone. I got a reply from a USPTO Lawyer saying that there was a provision Law allowing the size of the drawings be different from the real final products. I replied saying that my technical schooling at High School taught that parallel lines never meet each other at any scale employedMy initial assumption was that the background of USPTO patent examiners could be lower than High School standards. My surprise was that this patent application was issued afterwards on Oct. 23, 2007 (US 7,285,255). So, to make it appalling, it was filed again on Jan. 24, 2008 (US 20080019865) and issued again on Mar. 2, 2010 (US 7,670,551).


Why would somebody want to file patents claiming an invention that is flawedfails, and was already precisely invented grounded by advanced scientific background?


I was expecting that the academic environment would be different as faculties usually are PhD and highly committed to honor, respect, ethics, always complying with the Law. Universities have libraries and access to common knowledge preached on text books and classrooms. But, Dr. Amir Faghri and Dr. Zhen Guo working at the former Fuel Cell Center at the University of Connecticut believed that Hydrology from their Library could be ignored as well as my patent rights at USPTO when issuing US 7,625,649 ‘Vapor feed fuel cells with a passive thermal-fluids management system’. It was sent many letters requesting IDS of US 6,766,817 to many faculties and IP management team at Univ. of Connecticut. Nobody there felt any urge to respect neither Classical Hydrology nor the Law on already issued patents on the subject. Looking at the drawings it looks like it was a straight lousy copycat by a PhD faculty showing arrogance and how stupid he can be by ignoring a ‘scientific breakthrough. I have no idea why faculties want to work with fluid ignoring an old and classic science Hydrology. Dr. Zhen Guo got his PhD at Florida International University in Mechanical Engineering working with fuel cells filing a patent (20060046123) with his advisor Dr. Yiding Cao showing that they had no idea about fluid dynamics between Hydraulic Zones. At least they abandoned such flawed patent application!

Why would any scientist work with microfluid Ignoring Hydrology textbooks? Dr. Vera Gorfinkel never studied Hydrology in her full life and had no single Hydrology reference to show that she did her homework on background requirements. Education: Ph.D. in Physics & Mathematics from A.F.Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute St. Petersburg, Russia, 1980, M.S. (with honors) in Semiconductor Physics, Saratov State University, Russia, 1973. (8,231,844) Method and device for manipulating liquids in microfluidic systems. Dr. Gorfinkel invented Tubarc again neither knowing Hydrology with any citation nor US 6,766,817.

Carnegie Mellon University ignores Advanced Hydrology, the Law, Ethics, and Honesty. Complex Engineering on hydrodynamics is confused on geometries between squares and circlesDr. Fedder, PhD, is proposing a squared geometry in order to control fluid dynamics employing ‘Capillary Action’, which comes from the cylindrical structure conception – capillary’. How much brain power is required to realize that ‘capillary action’ is a cylindrical geometric conception to capture unsaturated hydraulic flow when the solid surface of porosity pulls fluids upward against gravity having a suction or negative hydraulic flow? Frankly speaking can any capillary be squared? It seems that Nature opted for rounded geometries since the beginning making the sun, earth, cells, veins, trunks, etc, all rounded and rounded. Dr. Fedder empty skull is also rounded!

Now Carnegie Mellow is just raping science and shamefully cheating on Academic Affairs in collusion with USPTO shameful reinvention policy. Dr. Gary K. Fedder the Director of the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (ICES) got B.S. and M.S. from MIT in 1982 and 1984, obtaining in 1994 PhD at the University of California at Berkeley. I had to carry out more than 3,000 experiments till 2001 when I was ready to file my American patent which was then published in 2003, and issued on 2004. Dr. Fedder filed his lazy patent in 2006 and requested Nonpublication option to keep it a secret till 2013 (8,501,117) waiting 7 years expecting my project to vanish.

University of California, Princeton University, and many others are trying to address fluidic devices by ignoring Hydrology Science as well as issued patents like US 6,766,817.

My recent conclusion is that lay people behind wick/wicking neither understand HYDROLOGY nor the functioning of oil lamps!

Abe,

You are so naive.

‘…Are you sure you got your PhD at Harvard? ‘

Lawyers learn nothing about Hydrology in Law School.

As far as I know no Law School provides Hydrology teaching . . . No Lawyer could discuss Hydrology having no expertise in the subject!

This is funny!
You do not give your scientific papers to Lawyers, so why are your patents different?
(By the way, was it a Lawyer who wrote your PhD thesis?)

Also, Lawyers are illiterate on the functioning of science, besides most scientists have no idea about Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logics, and History of Science (Philosophy of Science).
