Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow’ (negative (-) pressure) from Edgar Buckingham (1907) updating Darcy's Law (1856) about Hydraulic Conductivity on porosit(Soil Physics, Jury et al., 1991, John Wiley) was mentioned in the Patent 6,766,817 (2004) in the American patenting system for the first time on Artificial Porosity deploying basic knowledge already plenty on librabries from Hydrology/Hydrogeology/Soil Physics to the fluidic devices, developing new Hydrodynamic conceptions, also updating the Cradle of Hydrology to 70 thousands of years ago when Special Fluidic DevicesOIL LAMPS were invented by the Ancient Man, controlling fire and triggering the onset of MODERN LIFE.



- FIRST POROSITY - Geological: It was the first to appear in Nature by rock weathering making up the soils starting about two billions of years ago
- SECONG POROSITY - Biological: It was created by live beings about a billion of years ago as multicellular plants and animals increased in size developing varied mechanisms for internal fluid cycling.
- THIRD POROSITY - Artificial: It is presently feasible as created by taking deep insights learning from geological and biological porosities functioning, also considering human limitations to handle matter at molecular level as well modeling of pore geometry. It addresses a sharp comprehension on new hydrodynamic properties of Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow and kinetic energy exchange on continuous mass flow dynamics not yet portrayed on human knowledge.

What is HYDROTECNOLOGY?


HYDROTECHNOLOGY is a NEW SCIENCE of Hydrology/Hydrogeology/Soil Physics on FLUID DYNAMICS working with ARTIFICIAL POROSITY.

It applies a spatial modeling of pores geometry, revealing new Hydrodynamic conceptions of molecular connectivity for self-sustaining and reversible Unsaturated Hydraulic FlowThe pores can be connected longitudinally as a cylindrical format boosting a more efficient anisotropic hydraulic flowUnder gravity conditions, a flexible artificial porosity arranged in the transition of Saturated and Unsaturated Hydraulic Zones, in one or more compartments, attains self-sustaining reversible properties for fluid supply and/or drainage resulting from the differential hydraulic potential and intrinsic properties. It is important to emphasize that large animals employ pumping mechanisms to recycle fluids internally having from large to tiny fluid conductors, making fluids move by pressure (+) and/or suction (-) providing each cell a continuous hydrodynamic exchange interface,  Hydrotechnology can be expanded even more toward mass flow dynamics when the molecular connectivity affects the performance of kinetic energy exchange. It can take place between inertial and rotating forces of non-partitioning flow on geometric curves and molecular dragging.

Vertical flow in Unsaturated Zone is explained by Classical Hydrogeology taking place in nature



In the cup, water in the surface has zero hydraulic pressure (dashed line), also known as Hydraulic Head, becoming Positive Pressure downward as the increasing weight of a vertical column of water within the Zone of Positive Pressure. Water raises in the paper by hydrophilic attraction to the solid surface of porosity reducing gravity force getting an increasing Negative Pressure upward in the Zone of Negative Pressure, technically called Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow.


Although SHF – Saturated Hydraulic Flow (+) is opposite to UHF – Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow (-) in relation to potential pressure, the hydrodynamic properties are independent and asymmetricnon complementary:


1. The SHF has unlimited horizontal movement depending on the length of draining slope. The UHF has radial movement from a point sustained by molecular connectivity of a permanent saturated source. The radial format of expansion in the paper explains a chain of molecular tension from a continuous saturated source. The potential of UHF depends on the amount of attraction force in the solid surface of porosity and weight of water volume hanging in the pores, as associated to the exponential r2 to volume and 2r to perimeter area of the cylinder in the case of longitudinally continuous pores.

2. The SHF can receive pressure increment adding to gravity force in order to increase flow while UHF needs a reduction of gravity force or higher losses by evaporation. It happens as molecules flow in response to attraction of solid surface of porosity making up a negative gradient by overtaking gravity force. Consequently, having lower gravity force or higher losses by evaporation result in larger radial unsaturated flow.

3. Pressure is used to push while suction is employed to pull the hydraulic flow which represents an asymmetric dynamics in the molecular behavior of fluid flow. As analogy it would be like a train bearing many connected cars over the rail which can be pulled and/or pushed. But, without rails it could still be pulled in case there is surface support. This property is relevant to filtering processes by molecular dragging and surface transport of particles by erosive forces by self-cleaning. Pressure on Saturated Hydraulic Flow takes to clogging while Suction by Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow does not clog while molecular connectivity stands in the fluid flow.

4Steady State of SHF and UHF is achieved when there is no hydraulic gradient to let the fluid move downward or upward. Fluid in the UHF can fall if it crossover the Hydraulic Head downward, when molecules in the Negative Hydraulic Zone (-) move to Positive Hydraulic Zone (+) becoming SHF..The falling molecules can attract more water molecules speeding up the UHF.


Capillarity aims at capturing a contained vertical Hydraulic Unsaturated Flow phenomenon. But, it faces spatial restriction for contention as it is based on the tube theory, becoming unable to represent and make up a porosity system entirelySuch limitations can be reduced and upgraded by tubarc (tube + arc), which allows a constant lateral flow through a continuous lateral opening in the cylinder. In the granular porosity of soils and rocks, the pores are randomly distributed. By tubarc artificial porosity, the pores can be continuous and longitudinally connected having lateral flow by the tubarc geometry. As it can be noticed, tubarc also expands the surface area increasing the attraction of solid phase, consequently resulting in a larger hydrophilic effect.


Oil lamps and self-watering flowerpots are fluidic devices that allow a removal of fluid in the Unsaturated Hydraulic Zone as gaseous form when molecular connectivity in the fluid is interrupted by its evaporation or combustion. Oil lamps use heat from the flame burning fuel while flowerpots use heat in the air feeding regular evapotranspiration rates. A new option to collect fluid from the Unsaturated Hydraulic Zone is by returning the fluid to the Saturated Hydraulic Zone when molecular connectivity is broken by the weight of water molecules crossing downward the Hydraulic Head reference line, from negative (-) to postivie (+). When there is no saturated water below the Hydraulic Head reference in the porosity, the falling water would pull water molecules downward speeding up the Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow, as shown below.


Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow takes place when tiny amount of water penetrates the pores, on rocks and soil, attracted to the solid porosity strong enough to make the fluid move upward by its adhesion and cohesion properties stronger than the pull of gravity downward. The flow increases by higher attraction in the solid phase, HYDROPHYLLIC EFFECT, and smaller amount of water having lower weight affected by gravity. A simple droplet of water holding under a solid surface would have a vertical chain of up to 12 million molecules giving some insights about hydraulic conductivity when pores are smaller than 100 micrometers and increased solid surface. Osmosis employs a similar approach, as the solute is free in the solution, not held in the solid surfce, but restrained inside a membrane barrier. Manipulating fluids inside live beings, is more practical to handle solutes than attraction of solid surfaces. Inside large plants, Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow helps to move water long distances while Osmosis short distances, giving turgidity when required. Such fluid flow properties can be easily visualized in the hydrology of watermelon and citrus, as well as on coconut fruit. The ancient man employed natural fibers and fat to control fire as small flames developing OIL LAMPS, making fire last longer, consuming less fuel, having portability practical for lighting after the sunset, or dark environments like caves.


Trying to understand a massive violation of my first issued patet (US Pat. 6,766,817) by USPTO I noticed that many SCIENTISTS inventors employing the terminology ‘wick/wicking’ neither understand the functioning of oil lamps nor Hydrogeology, concerning the principles of the Hydraulic Zones. Also, most of them were not lectured about Philosophy of Science to undestand how science works.


They come up with scientific flaws as wicks only have negative hydraulic flow (unsaturated)Wick is a porous flexible structure that moves fuel upward to the flame (Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow). Besides of hydrodynamic properties, wicks also need to resist to high temperatures of flames. It is a basic Etymological flaw to call something as a wick that fails as wick on oil lamps. Even more, wicks could never be used as a draining porosity. After all, wicks never worked in the bottom of oil lamps. The sciences that handle fluids moving on porosity. like Hydrology, Hydrogeology and Soil Physics have no single quotation on wick/wicking simply because the Hydrodynamics is far more complex than oil lamps, requiring no flames at all, just a HYDRAULIC GRADIENT.


What is the point of USPTO allowing frauded patents, that does not work from lay inventors and wealthy corporations, violating claims already issued, grounded by advanced scientific background of classical sciences HYDROLOGY, HYDROGEOLOGY AND SOIL PHYSICS  plenty on libraries? Illiterate people do not write patents as literate ones are educated enough to avoid such embarassment. After all, the US as the leader of the world is supposed to be serious and show some coherent and logical behavior.

   

'Is it a result of naive negligence on duties, or just a daring will to insinuate how far stupidity can reach? After all, Americans wasted around 1.2 million lives of their citizens to Sars-Cov-2 in the last pandemic more than of all wars combined. It seems that profiting was more important than saving lives, till hospitals got clogged and colective burials started, making the US the largest tragedy on COVID-19 in the world!

 

THE WORLD NEEDS A BETTER LEADERSHIP.

 

Ignoring SCIENCE is like misstepping!


HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY (volume/area/time, mm3/mm2/s or mm/s flowing by a hydraulic gradient) - Oil lamps take about 15 ml/h of kerosene to feed the flame while an African violet consume about 1 ml/h of water to replace the evapotranspiration rates. The highest fluid flow gauged on artificial porosity was K = 2.18 mm/s of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity (6,766,817). It could deliver by the unsaturated hydraulic syphon below 16.9 ml/h (K = 0.37 mm/s), or vertically up to 99.6 ml/h at the flow rate of K = 2.18 mm/s.


The reversible flow transmission between compartment and tubarc geometry (tube+arc) to correct capillarity are proposals that were patented in the US (US Pat. 6,766,817). This flow helps to estimate hydraulic conductivity potential of the device called unsaturated hydraulic siphon (wicks).

Dear Dr. Silva,

‘...  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 TODAY 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.. AwesomeMayday 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.

Would a signed DOC called POWER OF ATTORNEY to let PATENT ATTORNEYS becoming   SCIENTISTS just because they got B.S. in some field of science? WHERE IS THE BOUNDARY  between LAW and SCIENCE inside an ISSUED PATENT?

Who decides in a patent conflict?  Jury? Judges? Scientists? Who undestand the boundaries of SCIENCE?

What is the LEGALESE of science?

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

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

(It means that Legal oil lamps and Legal candles can work upsided down immune to gravity! Oh Dear!)


"Wick/wicking is in the US patent classification system (WIPO as well) but not on HYDROLOGY textbooks."


LEGAL WICKING as the term of the art regardless of gravity confirms USPTO long standing bias more than a century ignoring hydrology on conductivity parameters of issued patents:


How important is HYDROTECHNOLOGY as a NEW SCIENCE?


The technical importance of Hydrotechnology can be verified by exploratory analysis of the conductivity parameters: Thermal, Electric, and Hydraulic; mentioned in the issued patents in the USLay people that are not aware of Hydrology, Hydrogeology, or Soil Physics have employed the terminology of ‘wick/wicking’ instead of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity respecting Hydraulic ZONES, when the fluid flow is positive (+) or negative (-) observing their intrinsic HYDRAULIC PROPERTIES..


USPTO search issued patents on:


                                                                               Jan 07,2015                                Nov 30, 2023
Thermal/Heat Conductivity                       100.744                                          176.074
Electrical/Electric Conductivity                  76.949                                          139.254
Hydraulic Conductivity                                     750                                              1.329
Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity                 29                                                   38
Wick/wicking                                                 33.577                                            66.415



"Violation of scienceWhy bad apples spoil the barrel?C O N T A M I N A T I O N !



It can be concluded that Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity mentioned in only 29 issued patents on January 7, 2015 had been ignored by USPTO inventors opening a wide GAP for a new science - Hydrotechnology. A large number of issued patents that mention the term ‘wick/wicking’ 33,577 (66.415) issued patents shows a huge technical-scientific gap as lay people unaware of Hydrology try to develop fluidic devices without checking specialized scientific literature plenty of libraries from old and classical sciences.


'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  misstepping and falling down.

 

IN CONCLUSION, 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.

____________________________________________________________________________________


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 NatureTHE 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.


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


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. RELIGIONS were created to attenuate losses on human conflicts, attacking or defending conmmunties. But now, it is acombination of POLITICS and BUSINESSES exploiting human broad ignorance. In around 4 billions of years of our planet, it seems that we got no aliens to affect our evolution. Plants developed the basic bioengineering of making up organic matter, but herbivores and carnivores inherited partial reengineering to breaking down sun energy harvested in the chemistry of carbon molecules. Nature also designed the reproductive system for each life being to ensure survival and evolution. Most probable we are not leaving our home until the end in 6 to 8 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. So, we are protected from aliens as they are protected from human continuous arrogance and destruction. WE HAD TO CALL OUR OWN SPECIES as  homo sapiens TO PRETEND THAT WE KNOW.


What we see in the universe is just for light travelling at 300.000 km/s. So far, our modern rockets can travel up to 30.000 km/h (1 hour = 3.600 seconds)

If we increased the speed of our rocket TEN TIMES to 300.000 km/h. it would be travelling in ONE HOUR what LIGHT CAN TRAVEL IN A SECOND!  Human knowlege is very limited in the extremes of time and space. We need to learn to say: WE DO NOT KNOW IT!!!! We do not know how big the universe is, how it started, and how old it is, etc.


INTERESTING! – I got surprised that suspicious street criminals helped to install and protect swings I installed for children in the Park in my neighborhood during the pandemic lockdown. People at any age playing in the swings were never targeted by criminality, as vandalism reported was rare and insignificant. We started simple, but the success was so high that we developed swings of wood or tire, rope ladders, and short ziplines for all ages. Based on frauded reports from non-user bothered by the noise of happy children playing in the park, all toys THREE TIMES were shamefully destroyed by the mayor Park and Gardening Dept.  No user had filed any complaint, as there was no damage to the trees or public assets. Even a report from TV showing that swings are also important to adults on therapy for depression besides repelling drug user and attract children and families to parks. The benefits are high as the cost is insignificant giving low opportunity for money bribery.  No press got any interest to report that distorted public service took the children natural playground away. PUBLIC MONEY IS THE MAJOR INCOME TO THE PRESS IN BRAZILThe conclusion is that criminals have more family affection and respect than our public managers doALL INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS ENGAGED IN PRESERVING FORESTS BUT I SEE NO CHILDREN PLAYING ON PUBLIC TREES ON PARKS IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD. My videos below registered this event on how important and outstanding it can be saving trees and having children swinging on them in the urban areas. When  I see so many children and women being decimated in GAZA I have this feeling that our worst criminals are in the chain of power and not serving time in jail.


  


    

    


    


    


____________________________________________________________________________________


THE WORST CRIMINALS ARE IN THE CHAIN OF POWER, not serving time in jail! The American president caught doing oral sex in his office, was the speecher of my PhD commencement at Penn State Univ. The university president who signed my PhD diploma let young boys being raped for a decade in the facilities where I got my scientific education. The higher education that Americans can provide to their citizens come from ‘scientists authors of US patents beyond their comprehension, violating science and supporting a reinvention policy. Like in my neighborhood, the GENOCIDE IN GAZA DECIMATING WOMEN AND CHILDREN comes from POWERFULL PEOPLE with scant affection to families and children. Justice has the power to make the TRUTH legal or illegal, by ignoring Nature and stepping over the boundaries of science, supporting dangerous dictators careless enough to destroy our planet.

 

Only HONESTY is the unique equation to ensure our future.

 

Why Hydrotechnology as a NEW SCIENCE is lagging like a ghost since 2014?


1.    REINVENTION POLICY in the US is just one more outcome from the rooted economic ambition in the richest country in the world by letting greed and fear replace offer and demand, neglecting HONESTY and reasoning, causing the 2008 Economic Meltdown burning 41 trillion dollars of the world economy. The Covid-19 tragedies was a struggle between saving lives and profiting, when the US as the leader wasted  around 1,2 million victims, that was only restrained with clogged hospitals and collective burials. In addition, Americans are the leader of a spreading obesity having a third of its citizens obese and two-thirds overweight by combining excessive food and machinery with sedentary lifestyles and electronic gadgets brooding a SPECIAL MODERN MAN with lower brain resources from neurogenesis effect reducing neurons and mood, making humans dumber and grumpier, tougher to rescue.

2.     HONESTY is a vanishing human attribute inside corporations, government, institutions, academic, and scientific communities. Like muscles, our brain also comes with variable performance potential. We try to coin the best brains as intelligent, but it is a waste of natural resources if gifted ones do not take care of themselves and the wellbeing of their own species. A simple deduction of curbed waistlines come from clever ones.

3.   Today, any scientist following the steps of Alfred Nobel would end up in Guantanamo Bay or a tycoon of weaponry industries on Wall Street waging wars on poor countries. Alfred Nobel known as the ‘Merchant of Death’ and ‘Father of Dynamite’ installed 90 weaponry plants claiming as a pacifist. He never attended any university, nor did he obtain any degree. It shows that working with the chemistry of explosives is far more profitable and accepted than the Hydrology of self-watering flowerpots.

4. Modern Scientists of academia assume that dozens of articles published on WEALTHY  scientific journals and a VALUEABLE Nobel Prize nomination is the beacon of science, by endorsing economic power and ignoring Nature balance functioning. The American scientific community ignored HYDROLOGY on patenting affairs more than a century leaving a gap huge enough for a new science HYDROTECHNOLOGY.  The US grabbed 2/3 of Nobel Prizes (411/621) clearly supporting a WICKED REINVENTION POLICY, outstanding enough for an Economic Nobel Prize nomination, by concocting many folds of INVENTION, creating the same thing over and over playing variable etymology, in the hands of powerful people bearing low brain resources.

5.   The press became highly biased on profiting by highlighting and/or suppressing critical information, as fear and greed make happiness and peace nearly worthless. Nature does not care about the economy as the rainfall and the sunlight come to us FREE OF CHARGE. Freedom of expression is more a business than a human right.

6.     It seems that the Pandora’s Box is open to let scientists refresh presumed principles, as Nature has no need of enforcement and faith. Humans bow to Nature early as babies taming gravity for walking and runningFalling down is the simple consequence of neglecting gravity by missteping. We had been deceived that weirdoes would sing open sesame on nature secrets, as scientific discoveries must come from expensive labs.

7.    How to measure the value of science? How to assess the importance of knowledge? How to pursue a balance with Nature? Uncontacted natives of Amazon jungle have enough knowledge to survive in balance with Nature functioning bearing ZERO obesity, ZERO deforestation rates, and NO POWER TO DESTROY OUR PLANET.

8.    The PATENTING SYSTEM is a scientific issue, not a LEGAL ONE. Law Schools just teach about Laws of man. Inventions come from increase of knowledge expanding the boundaries of science which deals with Nature functioning. A modern CAN OPENER may need Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electric and Electronic Engineering, so it can have memory, Wi-Fi, webcam, temperature and pressure sensors, timer, self-functioning and recording options, etc. Besides cans are replaced by high tech packaging.

9.     LEGAL SYSTEMS are human and highly prone to distortions playing with the truth between legal and illegal, while SCIENCE bow to Nature functioning as gravity, for example, is unique and always loyal to everything, everywhere, and every time. THE TRUTH MAY BECOME LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, harming science or supporting dangerous dictators.



  
My Demand to USPTO

It is not that hard to argue at the Court of the Law that Hydrological issues should be examined by Hydrologists.
My demand to USPTO is the same as the first letter sent on Oct. 2006:


1. Hire Examiners with background in Hydrogeology and/or Soil Physics so that they have full comprehension of fluids moving on porosity;
2. Cancel issued patents with scientific flaws. Obsolete patents are cancelled naturally by becoming outdated;
3. Make a public statement about Hydrology negligence hurting all Hydrological community as well as my project that needs experts in Hydrology to protect the content of my issued claims.
4. Compensate for my losses since as an inventor filing patents I was not expecting lay people handling hydrology in the examination process by USPTO.
5. Since USPTO is failing to protect my IP rights my patents should be eligible for time extension of their expiration dates (new demand).
6. Issue a bill requiring Hydrology be handled by Hydrologists preventing laypeople from harming standing common knowledge in the scientific literature (new demand).
7. Disclose the technical and educational background of the Patent Examiners showing their expertise boundaries for judgment (new demand).
8.  Make people accountable for breaking THE LAW regarding my complaints (old demand).


  







Patenting System’ – 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 compromising 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 employed. My initial assumption was that the background of USPTO patent examiners could be lower than High School standards. Perhaps, even worse as High School students would go back and diligently fix their mistakes as obvious as a scale detail. 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 on Mar. 2, 2010 (US 7,670,551). My deep learning about such human issue was that ‘sometimes people are so dumb that you must refrain to tell them simply because they miss enough intellectual power to understand such a complex and deep explanation’. It becomes a waste of time to elaborate on how stupid they are because they will not be able to grab it. Then, the simple question is:

Why would somebody want to file patents claiming an invention that is flawedfails, and was already invented grounded on advanced scientific background? (I must admit that within my deep logical reasoning I cannot find any simple answer to such inquire; illiterate people do not write patents, as literate people are educated enough to avoid such embarrassment).

 They must be aliens from another dimension pursuing a different logical functioning!

Then, I was expecting that the academic environment would be different as faculties usually are PhD and highly committed to honor, respect, ethics, and 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!

I am curious why graduate students get PhD titles not learning about Philosophy of Science: Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logics, and History of Science. I had to school myself about the background of my title.

It is funny as there is no microfluid in Hydrology Science. I found Microfluidics at Wikipedia but the prefix word ‘hydro’ is never employed in a long explanation text with 56 references: Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design of systems in which low volumes of fluids are processed to achieve multiplexing, automation, and high-throughput screening. . .’How is it possible to work with fluids in micro dimension ignoring Hydrology, the science of fluids? No need to learn about Hydraulic Conductivity, Hydraulic Zones, Capillarity, Hydraulic Potential, and so on! How is it possible to address fluid dynamics without Hydrology? 

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!

I got PhD in Soil Science at Penn State University as the University former President Graham Spanier and famous Joe Pa more than a decade let disadvantaged boys being raped in the university locker rooms in order to keep the money a fame coming steady. 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.

Dr. Fedder never studied Hydrology having no idea that in 1856 Darcy Law proposes an equation to address Hydraulic Conductivity and that in 1907 Edgard Buckingham proposed a change to address Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow (wicking for lay people). He is not aware about Hydraulic Zones, pores connectivity, anisotropic flow, etc. In order to be loyal to nature functioning I proposed tubarc standing for tube + arc, as a sort of upgrade to capillarity allowing lateral flow important for general porosity functioning. The soap bubble is rounded as it represents the most efficient distribution of forces. Squared format works also, but it is not at the best performance attainable!

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

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. I was aware of this shortcoming that I quoted this:

US 6,766,817: p. 2 line 60:
‘Specialized scientific literature about unsaturated zones also recognizes this shortcoming. For example: "Several differences and complications must be considered. One complication is that concepts of unsaturated flow are not as fully developed as those for saturated flow, nor are they as easily applied." (See Dominico & Schwartz, 1990. Physical and Chemical Hydrogeology. Pg. 88. Wiley). Concepts of unsaturated flow have not been fully developed to date, because the "capillary action" utilized to measure the adhesion-cohesion force of porosity is restrained by capillary tube geometry conceptions. The term "capillary action" has been wrongly utilized in the art as a synonym for unsaturated flow, which results in an insinuation that the tube geometry conception captures this phenomenon when in truth it does not.’

Concepts of unsaturated flow can be developed by employing artificial porosity between hydraulic zones with a longitudinal continuity far more consistent and advanced than the granular porosity of rocks and soils. The fluid moves reversibly into a response of the hydraulic gradient which can be outlined to work under gravity conditions or a more complex setup always exploiting molecular connectivity on fluid dynamics.

Scientific Breakthrough – Water dynamics through soil porosity was a fresh understanding on my PhD background in Soil Science working with spatial analyses of rainfall distribution in the Amazon Basin in 1996. Hydraulic Zones was a common knowledge I learned in many disciplines at Penn State University, especially Hydrogeology. In early 1998 I was helping my wife tending her African Violets at home making them lush by flooding and draining in a basin. To make the process practical with many flower pots I used cords for ‘wicking’ irrigation. Then, I realized that the cords were made of synthetic fibers and potentially a sort of permanent stable porosity as plastic can resist to biological degradation. The insight was a permanent interface between the Hydraulic Zones Unsaturated/Saturated tenable by an advanced porosity of cylinders that could be modelled with longitudinal prevalent flow. It was not hard to grab that those nylon cords would fail on oil lamps as a ‘wick’, not resisting to the high temperature of flames, burning and deforming. Epistemology of science was contriving an etymological requirement regarding a precise compliance to the conception by deducing that, a fluidic device that fail as a wick cannot be called wick. Furthermore, the classic science Hydrology provides a complex hydrodynamic functioning far beyond oil lamp profile of a porosity feeding fuel to a flame that must be resistant to high temperatures of fire. Exploratory analyses by a hanging drying paper on a wall could portrait this visual spatial dynamics. And, a plastic pot with dry soil would assess the maximum unsaturated flow velocity and water retention dynamics for this granular porosity system. Then, I filed a patent in Brazil and in less than a year the first product was marketed. In the manufacturing process of self-watering flower pots it turned out that around 100,000 pots were failing because the cord braiding was too tight squeezing the pores leaving no room for water movement. Learning with perforations of Xylem and Phloem on sap vessels I had this simple idea of moving the pores inside the fiber upgrading capillarity to an enhanced porosity I dubbed ‘tubarc’ standing for tube + arcTubarc would be more resistant to tight braiding also allowing a continuous lateral flow from the cylindrical structure protecting a longitudinal continuous pore in the core. Afterwards I noticed that lay people behind wick/wicking neither understand Hydrology nor the functioning of oil lamps disclosing a huge technical gap lasting more than a century on fluidic devices. Few people know that wick/wicking is Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow moving fluid upward to the flame as this technical expression so common in Soil Science was totally ignored by inventors so far.


Conspiracy on Reinvention by Lawyers, Corporations, Institutions and Faculties – In partnership with two American Patent Attorneys I opened a company in the US getting issued patents on my ‘scientific breakthrough’ outstanding enough to path the fundaments for a new science I call Hydrotechnology'the hydrology of artificial porosity'. My partners got impressed on how easy the first patent was issued, as I employed a terminology from Hydrogeology and Soil Physics. Well, wick/wicking was not in my scientific literature from my PhD. Later my partners quit the project arguing that in the US small parties have no chance against the big bully parties They said that in the US even a 'scientific breakthrough’ couldn’t succeed on poor hands! I thought that science was serious and strong enough to stand by itself but now I can realize their decision on such issue as I can get a sturdy and continuous feedback from the scientific community. Bill Clinton then American President was on my PhD commencement on May 10, 1996 delivering his first speech for reelection. He said that we were endowed with the highest education that the American society could provide to their citizens as we were going to develop new technologies never imagined before. The underlying truth on leadership is just depressing as Bill Clinton few weeks later was doing oral sex with Monica Lewinsky intern in the White House office. Penn State president Graham Spanier (who signed my PhD diploma) and Joe Paterno coach were covering up a wave of pedophile abuse that lasted a decade letting Jerry Sandusky abuse disadvantaged boys at the university facilities where I got my PhD. President Barack Obama assigned a near obese lady Dr. Regina Benjamin as General Surgeon to guide Americans on a fight against obesity an issue she was failing personally to achieve a balance in the modern landscape. During my PhD I ran a half-marathon in 1h26min. Following this embarrassing trend misguiding human affairs Roche Diagnostics was trying to develop an enhanced porosity for lancets to collect blood for glucose test. Figure 6 shows undoubtedly that their scientists had no idea about spatial geometry for fluid conduction missing Hydrogeology insights. So, Roche learned with my patent, copied it, and reinvented again many times like Fig 12 in collusion with USPTO and Law FirmsThe positive side is that I indeed created something outstanding for human kind to endure eternity borrowing insights from the beginning of life. The negative side is that instead of thanking me and rewarding my achievement on many years of hard working so I can continue my project developing it further and further. Instead they prefer to steal it with lazy and flawed patents and arrogance colluding with corrupt government officials that are failing disgracefully on their duties. USPTO allows multiple patent files for the same invention, assigns lay examiners covering up their technical background. USPTO is supporting a wave of broad reinvention plot many times with flawed patents from wealthy and lay inventors pretending they know what they are doing, also like Illumina, Medtronic, Carefusion, and many others. As a scientist I must know my own species and the broad range of human absurdity achievable as most scientists do not understand nature principles mainly honesty. Those people do not understand how honesty is powerful on guiding human affairs, like water falling from the sky draining back toward the ocean feeding a water cycle that is unique and never pretend a skewed profile. Humans learn how to respect nature as babies when crawling and learning about gravity so they can walk complying with basic laws of human existence regarding walking mechanics. The punishment for disrespecting nature on missteping is right away on a fall feeling the body smashing to the ground and reaping the rewards for such negligence. failure to a scientist is the creation or a proposal of a theory or hypothesis that is not endorsed by Mother Nature on its complex functioning that constantly challenges human abstraction for deduction. Honesty is the sole key to peek and grab nature hiding secrets subtle to those ones ignoring the principles.

Geological Porosity is the first generation of porosity that was created around 2 billion of years ago in the weathering of rocks making soils with a random distribution of particles. Biological Porosity, as the second generation of porosity is more organized and was created about a billion of years ago by live beings growing in size needing to cycle fluids internally in the tissues developing appropriate channels. Tubarc Porosity becomes the third generation of porosity having a spatial geometry modelling with a prevalent longitudinal flow. It borrows insights from Hydraulic Zones of geological porosity and biological porosities in the functioning of perforations of Phloem and Xylem, as well as human limitations to handle matter at molecular level. Tubarc enlightens a deduction of new hydrodynamic properties like molecular connectivity on self-sustaining reversible fluid supply/drainage in the interplay between Hydraulic Zones employing advance porosity functioning.

I was wondering if in my lifetime man would be able to craft fluidic devices with tubarc conception I engendered. More than that, as humans are so resourceful that recreation is being invented, perhaps a New Theory of Knowledge, by creating the same things over and over just playing variable Etymology. Not surprising as humans also invented Gods that write sacred books, promise lands and even life after death, sometimes demanding killings in its name. Life after death was a soothing theory to send our children to their death on wars for conquering/defending our communities. Furthermore, they are daring and deceiving to claim that humans were made like God insinuating we are not just one more species among so many in a complex nature functioning. Simple coherence points out that the underlying truth is very disappointing as the main reason for humans being so dominant in the Animal Kingdom had been our capacity to destroy and eat most our similar ones during our evolution. We are so exclusive changing the landscape because of our overwhelming destructive power. A more positive outcome down the line is achievable when HONESTY becomes the keystone for humans pursuing a balance with Mother Nature halting a broad range of pretension that we know. We solved a starvation dilemma by creating a new problem called obesity coming from excessive food and machinery that replaces our muscles. Fattening our bodies building reserves of energy does not make sense when most humans sleep in a bed a few steps away from a fridge so plenty of food. It seems that life is indeed a problem solving game with plenty of challenges to make our survival a continuous adventure toward eternity.

Absurd 1 – I am not a Hydrologist. To be honest none of them is a Hydrologist since neither wick/wicking nor microfluid can be found on Hydrology textbooks. All those people violating science, breaking the Law and colluding with USPTO on reinvention and brainwashing is familiar with water science just by washing hands and taking shower. Paul Yager, PhD is a Chemist mentioning wick 54 times at his patent application (20150361487).The size of this shame can be gauged on numbers as today Jan 10, 2016 wick/wicking is mentioned in 35.499 issued patents while Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow is mentioned in just 42 issued patents. It can be observed that my three issued patents were the first ones to deploy Hydrogeology to the fluidic devices in the patenting system (6,766,8176,918,404, and 7,066,586). (De: John Mehl [mailto:jmehl11@hfs.washington.edu] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 8 de janeiro de 2016 16:56 . . I don’t know why you would send this to me. I am a chef, not a hydrologist. Please remove me from your email list. Thanks, JOHN MEHL, Executive Chef & General Manager, McMahon 8, Housing & Food Services – UW Dining). So, I have no need to send emails to Hydrologists.

Absurd 2 – Lawyers are meddling with science as they do not write PhD thesis! Dr. Stroock is a scientist at Cornell Univ. that got his PhD at Harvard. He sent me this reply: ‘Dear Dr. Silva, ‘...  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/publications) than in patents, as the lawyers have been translated the latter into legalese that I do not understand.’ Just imagine if Albert Einstein, Antoine Lavoisier or Henry Darcy get patents on their scientific achievement but would not be able understand the language content on their issued patents on ‘Theory of Relativity’, ‘Equal Mass Law Equation’, or ‘Darcy’s Law’ assuring intellectual property protection from US government.

Absurd 3 – USPTO assigns lay examiners to judge issues they have no understanding. Arlen Soderquist a Patent Examiner claiming to be a Chemist scientist from Utah is confident that he can examine Hydrology even having no background about this old classical science. I am curious on how much Hydrology the Department of Chemistry of University of Utah provides to their students. This is the way Dr. Soderquist sees Hydrology; very funny and so different from the scientific literature and basic textbooks of Hydrology so plenty on libraries. He does not know that gravity exists affecting the Hydraulic Gradient Potential. The Saturated Zone is the bottom (fluid fuel) and the Unsaturated Zone is on the top as the fluid moves upward to the flame (wick). My deceased father a coffee farmer with two years of schooling knew about it as we used many oil lamps. He knew that the flame was on the top and the fuel deposit was in the bottom, and that the fuel would move upward as we had to refill it once in a while!


US 6,766,817: p. 1 line 65
‘A fluid that possesses a positive pressure can be generally defined in the field of hydrology as saturated fluid. Likewise, a fluid that has a negative pressure (i.e., or suction) can be generally defined as an unsaturated fluid. Fluid matric potential can be negative or positive. For example, water standing freely at an open lake, can be said to stand under a gravity pull. The top surface of the liquid of such water accounts for zero pressure known as the water table or hydraulic head. Below the water table, the water matric potential (pressure) is generally positive because the weight of the water increases according to parameters of force per unit of area. When water rises through a capillary tube or any other porosity, the water matric potential (e.g., conventionally negative pressure or suction) is negative because the solid phase attracts the water upward relieving part of its gravitational pull to the bearing weight. The suction power comes from the amount of attraction in the solid phase per unit of volume in the porosity. 

Why USPTO is a sham system designed to conspiring and cheating harming any technological development?

  1. USPTO hides the technical background of Patent Examiners as we do not know how much they are known in the art for judging the boundaries of technical issues for inventions (Epistemology)
  2. USPTO allows multiple applications of the same invention collecting more money from wealthy parties and letting some of them get through by lay Patent Examiners
  3. USPTO assigns lay examiners that allow reinvention with flawed lazy patents from wealthy parties colluding with corrupt dishonest Patent Attorneys and Patent Examiners.
  4. Inventors are forced to sue wealthy parties violating their issued patents sometimes with flawed patents feeding a surge of Lawyers and bureaucracy that plunder on this ongoing conspiracy.

Is it possible to reinvent the same thing over and over varying inventors and/or dates?

Is it a new Theory of Knowledge that we can reach invention^n on many folding dimensions of creation?

I am a scientist, but did I miss anything during my PhD at Penn State Univ. regarding Philosophy of Science?
