USPTO is disrespecting scientific common knowledge in Soil Physics and Hydrogeology regarding fluid moving on porosity as portrayed by the following long standing historical profile:
1856 – Saturated Hydraulic Flow;
Henry Darcy in France introduced the first conceptions of fluid moving on porosity when he was studying water flow dynamics on sandy filters. He proposed a famous Darcy's Law equation for Saturated Hydraulic Flow 'the velocity of flow is proportional to the hydraulic gradient'.
1907 – Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow:
Near a century ago in order to describe water flow through unsaturated soil which is above the water table Edgard Buckingham proposed a modification of Darcy's Law in 1907 trying to describe mathematically fluid flowing on porosity.
1958 - Evaporation from a Water Table:
An upward flow from a water table to a bare soil surface was studied by Gardner and Fireman.
2004 – Unsaturated/Saturated Hydraulic Flow: US Pat. 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'.

Technological and Scientific Evolution by Quick Internet Access
Recently information technology by Internet has changed so abruptly regarding accessibility allowing information from any patent to be gathered instantly online. With a few strokes on the keyboard all patents can be screened thoroughly for trends of IP violations of technical boundaries trespassing since their functioning has to be expressed by strong core words unavoidable in the advanced technical writing. This new tool for technological survey ends up difficult for canny experts to circumvent IP limits by exploiting shallow technical expressions as well as employing borderline etymology.
There is a strong continuing IP violation trend hurting basic principles of Hydrology easy of checking online portraying dynamic features (# 29/11/06):
- Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow ...................................... 3
- Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity........................17
- Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity ........................... 24
- Hydraulic Conductivity ........................................... 404
- Capillary pumping ...................................................214
- Capillary/capillarity/wick/wicking .................... 93,314
- Heat/Thermal Conductivity ................................61,033
- Wick/wicking .......................................................21,784
- Heat Pipe/Wick ......................................................1,169
Hydrology has been deeply neglected on patenting affairs since 93,314 issued patents on porosities but only 9 of them measure Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow which three of them are Tubarc patents: 6,766,817, 6,918,404, and 7,066,586
It can be observed above that the conduction of heat is mentioned in 61,033 issued patents while the conduction of fluid is mentioned only in 404 issued patents while Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow only 17.
In the process of quantification analytically it is easier to measure fluid conduction than heat conduction since it involves mass flow transport requiring less complex techniques. Then, in a long range this trend on patenting can change more favorably toward hydrology as Hydrogeologists and Soil Scientists figure out that applied hydrology of fluids moving on porosity has a huge potential for high technology regarding fluidic devices to many industries.
CONSEQUENCES OF A PERSISTENT SCIENTIFIC VIOLATION
With time fast communication technology should help to reduce such problems associated to human knowledge that deals with expanding boundaries of high technology and science. It is reasonable to assume that a fast and accessible communication is a strong allied to bring science and technology within sound functioning since cross checking become common place.
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THIS DISTORTING TREND IN HYDROLOGY
1. Most of hydrological studies done by Hydrologists have been carried out only with natural porosities running in the environment.2. Applied Hydrology working with artificial porosities have been carried out mainly by professionals outside Hydrological sciences.
3. Patenting affairs involving applied hydrology to fluids moving on porosity are handled by Patent Attorneys, Patent Examiners, and Inventors that are not involved with Hydrological Sciences like Hydrogeology or Soil Physics.
4. The patenting systems is allowing some subtle circumvention by employing superficial technological expressions or borderline etymology not used in common texts books or scientific literature.
5. The patenting business is seen as a strong industry that pushes toward distortion in order to protect the market sometimes trespassing boundaries of science and the Law.
6. Isolation of many sciences and poor communication having some difficulties to work more interrelated to other fields of science.

- 29 years ago, I got PhD in Soil Science at Penn State University, USA, working with
Spatial Dynamics of Hydrology in the Amazon Basin.
- 27 years ago, I started playing ADVANCED GARDENING, at home on watering flowerpots
to ease emotional pressure from INSTITUTIONAL JOB HARASSMENT.
- 24 years ago, I filed my first American patent believing that the system was genuine
and HONESTY was a common sense to honor a 'scientific breakthrough', mainly in
the ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT.
- 21 years ago, my first patent US 6.766,817 was easily issued by USPTO. deploying the
technical terminology from my PhD textbooks uncommon in the Patenting System.
- 10 years ago, I created a new science Hydrotechnology to explore a huge scientific gap
ignoring Hydraulic Conductivity on fluidic devices. defining new Hydrodynamic
Conceptions based on Advanced Artificial Porosity, absent on textbooks.
- In 2025 based on updated Hydrodynamics on porosity I set the HYDROLOGY CRADLE TO
70,000 YEARS AGO starting a new Era of Hydrology by the principle of life.
- For TWO DECADES the principles of ‘tubarc’ to upgrade capillarity has been confirmed by
broad and persistent patent infringement cracking down a sort of Reinvention Policy by USPTO neglecting Hydrology SCIENCE shamefully. This culture degradation is wealthy, obese, sedentary, addict to drugs, vitamins, anti-depressants, electronics, fastfood, etc., becoming grumpier and dumber on neurogenic effect. By ignoring science, the US was the leader in human tragedies that lost more citizens to Sars-Cov-2 than all wars combined. Only when hospitals got clogged and collective nocturnal trenched burials, convinced that saving lives was more relevant than making money. So, the American President who recommended Hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19 is back pardoning criminals who invaded the US Capitol. How about Presidential Orders to force Americans on HEALTHY LIVESTYLES and HONESTY, mainly on EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS? China is also waging on DICTARTORSHIP to preserve the culture. As Freedom of Expression is a business aiming at PROFIT, since peace and good deeds are too boring for the media developing businesses, while greed, fear, ambition, and tragedies making the world unbearable is the perfect recipe for a WEALTHY PRESS.
Explosives, father of Dynamite, was capable of moving science from FAITH to BUSINESS. The Holy Inquisition burned alive at the stake Giordano Bruno, Italian Alchemist and Astrologer, for holding opinions contrary to the Catholic faith. Today, SCIENCE became BUSINESS with DISHONESTY. I must remind ‘scientists’ that Science is basically our understanding on NATURE FUNCTIONING. As babies we learn to tame gravity for walking and running, and soon we understand the consequences of misstepping and falling down. Keep in mind that NATURE writes no books, promise no lands, created no borders, no currencies, no religion, no life after death, no politics, demands no wars or killing in name of a divine. As all live beings, we have imprinted in our DNA attributes for survival and caring for the next generation. Looking back into the past we borrow understanding from our evolution to preserve our Physiology developed in a different landscape molding our functioning. Perhaps we are Homo sapiens in case we get through.
Watch out! Albert Einstein was not aware that smoking a pipe was threatening the simple functioning of our LUNGS just developed for CO2/O2 exchange, missing some blessing from Mother Nature.
OIL LAMP – An Advanced Fluidic Device Developed for Lighting
"Early humans used shells, hollow rocks or any nonflammable material as a container and in it some moss soaked in animal fat which they would ignite and it would burn with a flame."
The invention of oil lamps was a slow process taking place between 50 to 100 thousand years ago, or even earlier as archaeological evidence points towards the use of torches as early as 1.42 million years. At first man started manipulating fire moving it with burning twigs or ember. They may have learned that burning a bunch of twigs would last longer, or even having something else burning together like fibers, so they were developing torches. By cooking meat on fire, they may have noticed that fat also burns and even can last longer than firewood for concentrating more energy. So, the torches may have improved having fibers soaked in fat. Then, having this soaked fiber burning over a more resistant container was the logical drive toward the development of oil lamps. It took place like a gradual process of trying and learning and understanding better functioning options. Like the airplanes flying today that improved from the first ancient kites to airplanes, always exploring the principles of Aerodynamics, like all flying live beings as well.
Exploring the principles of Hydrodynamics, this outcome from ADVANCED GARDENING on Self-Watering Systems (water + soil + plant) provides a sturdy reasoning to update the Cradle of Hydrology to 70 thousand of years ago when Special Fluidic Devices, Oil Lamps (fuel + wick + fire) were invented by the Ancient Man making and taming FIRE, triggering indeed the onset of MODERN LIFE. Homo erectus, began using fire around 1.5 to 2 million years ago. But ADVANCED HYDROLOGY working on porosities was the keystone to control it, changing from SOLID FUEL of FIREWOOD to LIQUID FUEL mainly OIL or FAT on Oil Lamps, becoming smaller, portable, safer, durable, and more efficient! OIL LAMPS on wicking (UNSATURATED HYDRAULIC FLOW) allowed a broader application of fire from cooking and heating to ample illumination and safe navigation in the dark hours or places. Humans could illuminate caves, homes, castles, temples, pathways, vessels, carriages, lighthouses, public places, etc. The amount of mineral residue in the burning process of firewood is 6 to 10% of ash w/w, or more. depending on the soil contamination. While pure vegetable oil and fats can have ash content near 0%, making oil lamps free of burning residue. OIL LAMP is a practical small fluidic device for lighting requiring just fuel refilling, and easy operations to light up by a flame or spark contact, and to turn off by puffing on, leaving no ember afterwards. Man was conquering darkness after the sunset by employing artificial light from oil lamps, more recently with a glass tube chimney, over land and water, as well as permanent dark environments for dwelling or other reasons like mining.
1 - First Porosity - GEOLOGICAL: It was the first NATURAL generation of random porosity to appear in Nature by rock weathering making up the granular soils systems starting about two billion of years ago. Most soils are 50% solid material + 50% of void at variable rates of air and water.
2 - Second Porosity - BIOLOGICAL: It was the second NATURAL generation of an organized porosity 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, giving each cell a continuous logistic interface for chemical exchange building up the required functioning of specialized infrastructure for each species allowing its evolution for survival. Standing plants created phloem and xylem vessels while moving animals needing faster flow rates created varied required pumping systems.
3 - Third Porosity - HUMAN MADE: It is the third ARTIFICIAL generation of an advanced porosity combining the functioning of Geological and Biological porosities with human knowledge to derive new Hydrodynamic conceptions of Unsaturated Flow (negative pressure) expanding the boundaries of Hydrology. It is presently feasible by considering a spatial modeling of pore geometry and human limitations to handle matter at molecular level. The pores can be continuously connected longitudinally as a prevailing cylindrical format boosting an enhanced ANISOTROPIC HYDRAULIC FLOW. It addresses new hydrodynamic properties of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity and Kinetic Energy Exchange in the dynamics of continuous mass flow not yet portrayed to human knowledge.
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 already shown above.
Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow takes place in a porosity system with variable ratios of solid, liquid, and air. The liquid is removed as gas; fuel on oil lamps is removed by burning in the flame, water of self-watering flowerpots is removed by evapotranspiration rates, in a complex system of oil lamps or soil-water-plant, as fluid lost is constantly replaced by the interplay of Saturated to Unsaturated Hydraulic Zones according to a Hydraulic Gradient.
Porosity Modelling becomes tenable by upgrading from granular porosity of Soil Systems to cylindrical fibers of stable plastic cords providing insights for a continuous pore geometry prevailing through the longitudinal direction. Then, revealing new Hydrodynamic conceptions by bending between Hydraulic Zones, Saturated (+) for pressure and Unsaturated (-) for suction. Tubarc (tube + arc) upgrades capillarity on TUBE THEORY, allowing constant lateral flow in the cylindrical feature, complying to the principles of Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow requirements: VARIABLE FREE AIR RATIO AT CONSTANT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Advanced Porosity System playing liquid transfer between Hydraulic Zones attains variable molecular dragging with specific performance according to the Hydraulic Gradient as well as the Physical Molecular Properties of solid, liquid, and solute phases. Liquid can be recovered freely in another compartment when it moves DOWNWARD as Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow crossing the water table reference, known as Hydraulic Head. Molecular Connectivity on bonding is different between positive (+) pressure to negative (-) pressure, when water molecules are suspended in a bond reducing gravity attraction.
New Era of Hydrology on the Principle of Life:
HYDRODYNAMICS OF LIFE - It is worth mentioning that live beings already mastered the hydrodynamics of fluid cycling employing saturated and unsaturated conditions by developing varied mechanisms of pumping, creating pressure (+) on one side and suction (-) in the other side, in a CIRCULATORY SYSTEM giving each cell unit a permanent and efficient logistic interface for exchange of substances employing molecular dragging, as well as controlling the minimum amount of water required for the whole biological functioning.
How tenable is HYDROTECNOLOGY?
AMERICAN LEADERSHIIP AND INFLUENCE: Considering intellectual property affairs, it is very likely that all patenting systems around the world would have a similar performance.
Running an exploratory analysis about the conductivity parameters at USPTO on issued patents, it can be verified that Hydrology has been neglected more than a century about Hydrodynamics on porosity systems of Fluidic Devices:
Mar 19, 2007 Jan 07,2015 Nov 30, 2023
Thermal/Heat Conductivity 61,033 100.744 176.074
Electrical/Electric Conductivity 76.949 139.254
Hydraulic Conductivity 750 1.329
Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity 17 29 38
Wick/wicking 21,784 33.577 66.415
On measuring conductivity parameters, we can assume that technically it is easier to gauge fluid motion than heat or electricity. Analyzing patents at USPTO, around 100.000 issued patents addressing capillarity and/or wicking, by ignoring HYDROLOGY can be considered frauded and worthless. When fully explored, patents measuring HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY could reach around 200.000 patents as inventors learn about fluid dynamics on NATURAL POROSITIES of CLASSICAL HYDROLOGY in OLD textbooks.
Sars-Cov-2 in the last pandemic showed us how close human existence is taunting from instantaneous annihilation to a continuous gradual degradation, pursuing greed, avarice, and ambition by impairing HONESTY.
‘... 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.’
FOOD FOR THOUGHT – If an inventor PhD from Harvard working at Cornell University, both from THE IVY LEAGUE can have USPTO issued patents to protect his intellectual property rights, but he does NOT understand it, how much the Patent Attorney and the Patent Examiner knows about the issue granted protection by US Government, by TRANSLATING SCIENCE into a LEGALESE incomprehensible by THE AUTHOR? If it were TRUE, it could mean that LAWYERS know about SCIENCE more than scientists DO. AMAZING!I just imagine Albert Einstein getting patents from his scientific papers, It means that those guys in the patenting affairs would handle Theory of Relativity better than him . .. WOW ... Then, Lawyers should be blamed for the DEPLORABLE TRAGEDIES of the ATOMIC BOMB and incoming Armageddon!
In CONCLUSION, the backfiring in SCIENCE comes from Lawyers, meddling on issues they have no understanding. Also, it seems that Phylosophy of Science is missing on PhDs background, to honor science and their titles.

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

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 1,2 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.

Nobel Prize nominations molded SCIENCE into a BUSINESS, creating Peace Prize for disguising and Economics to pretend that Nature endorses currencies. So, dirty money from dynamite helped the richest country in the world grab 2/3 of all Nobel nominations, even violating and neglecting HYDROLOGY SCIENCE more than a century. Etymology of SCIENCE has been biased by power on Scientology for religion, Scientific Police, Political Science. This is the idea that wicked politicians having nature on their side, or a specific God was designed by Mother Nature. Nature Laws require no enforcement, since we learn as babies what happens with our missteps falling down by IGNORING GRAVITY LAW.
