NOTIFICATION OF MASSIVE IP VIOLATION


USPTO is issuing thousands of patents that violate principles of science regarding common knowledge in Geo and Soil Sciences consequently infringing IP rights at US Pat. 6,766,817, 6,918,404, and 7,066,586, according to the principles of Theory of Science (Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logics, and History of Science).

Etymology requires Epistemology and Metaphysics of Science to comply with a correct expression when describing objects to preserve precise existential boundaries. Ex: All balls are supposed to be spherical as football is a sport intrinsically to play a ball using foot. All balls are required to keep their specific round geometry otherwise it trespasses existential Metaphysics hurting their connotation. (SPORTS may allow a gracious DISTORTION of the language. In America, the sport called "soccer" is distinct from American football. The term "soccer" is used to differentiate the sport played with a round ball and primarily using the feet from the American sport that uses an oval ball and is played with a mix of kicking, throwing, and carrying the ball. It not only hurts the language, but also players needing Personal Protective Equipment. SCIENCE works with HIGH PRECISION VOCABULARY.)

All acquired claims are bound to the precise Etymology of their expression; wick/wicking is bound to the precise functioning of oil lamps regarding its hydrology and functioning temperature. No wick works with flow downward since the flame is on the top. Also, all wicks need to stand to high temperature of a flame of oil lamps.

Wick/wicking invented by the Stone Age Man around 70,000 years ago is a porous device to conduct fuel upward toward a flame of oil lamps, requiring specific Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamic compliances.

Capillary
/Capillarity is the fluid conduction inside micro tube structures like capillaries

Etymology requires that all wicks as porous devices to work out on oil lamps abiding to Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics. Any wick that fails on oil lamps betrays its own conceptions losing existential boundaries.

Hydrology
is the common science that has due knowledge to address fluids moving on porosity and such field of science avoid using wicks due to the Thermodynamics connection not important to Hydrological functioning. Hydrology also ignores wicks because of limited functioning of oil lamps.

Hydrogeology and Soil Physics are the correct sciences to handle common knowledge of fluids moving on porosity working for a long time on natural porosities endowing a higher understanding on hydrodynamic conceptions.

This Massive IP Violation is neglecting Hydrological insights to patenting affairs that is very easy of verification:

Heat Conduction is assessed by Heat/Thermal Conductivity and 60,608 issued patents mention it.

Fluid Conduction on porosity is assessed by Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity but only 17 patents mention it even 21,651 issued patents on wick/wicking porosity never gauged spatial dynamics of fluid conduction on such porous devices because experts do not have appropriate hydrological background.

Experts assessing Thermal Conductivity are not aware about Fluid Conductivity on porosity since 1,152 patents show this shortcoming on Heat Pipe/Wick not addressing Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity. It means that inventors gauging Heat/Thermal Conductivity are not gauging Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity depicting an important flaw about conductivity when heat is assessed while fluid is neglected on the same device functioning.


MASSIVE IP VIOLATION

  1. Allowing wicks that fail on oil lamp functioning.

  • Allowing capillarity derivative outside tube structures of capillaries.

  • Allowing capillary pumping on 208 issued patents violating the expression of ‘Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow from Soil Physics/Hydrogeology (double Etymology disrespecting common scientific knowledge). There is neither pumping on capillarity nor on Unsaturated Flow since fluid moves in response to a gradient of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity.

  • I believe that any Court of Law will comply with Etymology requirements and make vacant claims that failed to describe the aimed objects. Balls are only valid for spherical objects, while wicks allow only the hydrology of oil lamps combined to high temperature of flames, and capillarity is the fluid movement inside cylindrical structures.

    Wicks from oil lamps can be used to conduct fluids on many fluidic applications. But, if there is any change on their structure leading to a failure on oil lamps, Metaphysics of Science signals that the wick connotation becomes void. Wicking hydrology can only work upward toward the flame on top.

    Every week around 8% of all issued patents and patent applications is associated to applied hydrology of fluids moving on porosity devices according to a search of these words: wick/wicking/capillary/capillarity/porous/porosity.


    My suggestion to the General Counsel is the following:

    1. Hire around 8% of Patent Examiners (320) with background in Soil Physics or Hydrogeology to handle technically patents that deals with fluid moving on porosity (Unsaturated Flow).

    2. Notify patent holders that granted patents on wick/wicking hydrology need compliance to their precise Etymology and their patents become vacant in case the claimed wick devices fail on oil lamps upward toward a flame (Hydrodynamics + Thermodynamics). Wicking cannot work downward.


    3. Notify patent holders that granted patents on ‘capillary pumping’ are invalid because such expression violates common knowledge in Soil Physics/Hydrogeology where this phenomenon is called ‘Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow’ commonly reported on text books for academic teaching.


    4. Notify patent holders that granted patents on capillarity derivatives need compliance to the Etymology and their patents become vacant in case the devices are not a tube like geometric figure of capillaries. Capillarity is the ‘Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow’ only inside micro capillaries and does not allow it on porosity which requires multidirectional flow restrained by tube geometry.


    US Pat. 6,766,817 p.2 line 27

    – ‘Random irregular porous systems utilized for unsaturated flow employ general principles of capillary action, which require that the tube geometry fit properly to the porosity, which is generally analogous to dimensions associated between capillary tubes and the voids in the random porosity. Random porosity has an irregular shape and a highly variable continuity in the geometrical format of the void space, which does not fit to the cylindrical spatial geometry of capillary tubes. This misunderstanding still holds true due to the fact that both capillary tubes and porosity voids are affected by the size of pores to retain and move fluids as unsaturated conditions. Consequently, an enhanced porosity for unsaturated flow that deals more clearly with the spatial geometry is required. This enhanced porosity becomes highly relevant when moving fluids between different locations by unsaturated conditions if reliability is required in the flow and control of fluid dynamic properties’.

    US Pat. 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’.

    Since measuring fluid conduction on porosity is easier than measuring heat conduction I believe that after this massive IP violation is fixed the number of patents addressing Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity should increase in 20 to 40 years from the present 17 to around 100,000 new issued patents abiding to Theory of Science. This should take place because a spatial quantitative assessment increases reliability and control on hydrodynamics properties of fluid moving on porous systems also restoring advanced scientific Hydrological support to fluidic devices needing an enhanced macro and microporosity and dynamics between hydrological zones.

    I trust that USPTO basic policy is to avoid violating principles of science requiring inventors to employ correct Etymology and also preventing duplicity of terminology respecting common knowledge from all interrelated sciences. Coherence on connotation system is the correct way to hone the advancement of technology.

    ‘All live beings are endowed with attributes for survival and procreation, ensuring the next generation's existence.' 


    In the mainstay of the world, the authority who signed my PhD diploma, in a commencement hosting an AMERICAN PRESIDENT delivering his first speech for reelection, let boys be molested during 15 years in the campus facilities where I got my scientific educationReaffirming this trend, Bill Clinton doing oral sex with Monica Lewinsky in his office in THE WHITE HOUSE nearly got him impeached, highlighting this degrading culture that MAKING MONEY is more relevant than caring for children, SCIENCE, and ETHICS, mainly on educational grounds. Education was supposed to preach HONESTY. So, the American Scientific Community that grabbed 2/3 of all Nobel Prize Nominations has no urge to clear this ongoing CONSPIRACY colluding with the Government Reinvention Policy by neglecting HYDROLOGY science in the basics more than a century. This is opening a wide gap worth REFRESHING SCIENCE in the PRINCIPLESand creating a new one - HYDROTECHNOLOGY - to fulfill this lacuna on life existence as BIOCHEMISTRY is feasible because of HYDRODYNAMICS, making H2O the main component of all live beings. Well, I had a chance to verify that outlaws wandering in public areas still preserve a strong bonding and respect to families and children swinging on public trees, showing a higher inherited commitment from MOTHER NATURE


    Making MONEY is important! But what is the difference between dying wealthy and famous or just poor and unknown? Pursuing a rational balance is critical to enjoy human existence. Pharaohs and Kings built pyramids believing they were special in the LIFE CYCLE, showing how far this outstanding human ignorance and twisted power can reach.


     TIME ON:

    - 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 greedfearambition, and tragedies making the world unbearable is the perfect recipe for a WEALTHY PRESS.

    Cornell – Funny as Lawyers deceive science on Intellectual Property Affairs

    Why a PhD scientist graduated at Harvard University is author of
    American Patents that he does not understand the language?

    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Hydrology Breakthrough vs. USPTO Conspiracy


    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?

    To: Elson Silva, PhD <tubarc@gmail.com>

    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."


    Today November 30, 2023 the bias ignoring hydrology at USPTO persists on issued patents:

    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.

    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 as Philosophy Doctor coming from Philosophy of Science (Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logics, and History of Science).

    - In 2025 I give SCIENCE FUNCTIONING back to NATURE as Alfred Nobel Swedish working with the Chemistry of

    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 FUNCTIONINGAs 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.



    GOD = Nature, as life is already an outstanding miracle to all live beings in their peculiar functioning. There is neither king nor kingdom in Nature, just a complex interaction of all forms of life. Perhaps carnivores are not on the top, depending on survival of grazers and photosynthetic collectors grabbing sun electromagnetic radiation as energy stored in the chemical bindingNature created no souls, no life after death, no moral, no reputation, no time-space perception, etc. Perhaps, Nature created millions of ‘Big Bangs’ to challenge human curiosity and assurance on boundaries of knowledge and existence.




         Setting Now in 2025

     HYDROLOGY CRADLE to 70,000 years ago




             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 LIFEHomo 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.



    Creating a 'New ScienceHYDROTECHNOLOGY

     as Hydrogeology on Artificial Porosity



    What is HYDROTECNOLOGY?



      

     

    Apparently complicated Hydrotechnology can be as simple as demonstrated in few minutes by employing a cup of water and a drying paper hanging in the wall. Something huge on scientific endeavors was well hidden in front of our eyes requiring just a subtle perception for disclosure

    This figure below shows visually the spatial dynamics of continuous water movement in the drying paper. Water moves in response to a hydraulic gradient potential pursuing a balance and guiding new technical frontiers as it portrays new Hydrodynamic conceptions absent on textbooks: 





    Hydrotechnology is the science of Hydrogeology working on artificial porosity’ which allows a spatial modeling of pores geometry, revealing new Hydrodynamic conceptions of molecular connectivity for self-sustaining and reversible Unsaturated Hydraulic Flow. The pores can be connected longitudinally as a cylindrical format boosting a more efficient anisotropic hydraulic flow. A flexible artificial porosity arranged in the transition of Saturated and Unsaturated Hydraulic Zones attains self-sustaining reversible properties for fluid supply and/or drainage resulting from the differential hydraulic potential. 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.

    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 already shown above.


    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. 

    Antoine Lavoisier created Modern Chemistry a new science in 1778 by ‘Equal Mass Law Equation’ at a time that communication systems were very rudimentary. Albert Einstein himself did not create a new science. But, we are creating a new science Hydrotechnology due to a technological opportunity. Although the main objective is the alignment of ideas to explore a huge scientific gap ignored more than a century in the functioning of fluidic devicesHydrology.  

    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.


    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 ratesThe 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

    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 requirementsVARIABLE 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 HeadMolecular 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:

    The common apparatus used to demonstrate the phenomenon is the capillary glass tube. The first recorded observation of CAPILLARY ACTION was by Leonardo da Vinci in 1519The long-standing shortcoming of TUBE THEORY is that capillary action can only perform upward vertically opposite to gravity pull. However, it is a perfect setup to describe the spatial hydraulic gradient in the Unsaturated Hydraulic Zone dispalying the arrangement of negative and positive pressure potential according to porosity properties.

    Granular porosities started with rock weathering. Cylindrical porosities started with natural fibers on oil lamps which were resistant to high temperatures of flames and to biological degradation on fuel. Paper was invented in China in the 2nd century BCE. Paper towels developed in 1907 absorb water because they are loosely woven, which enables water to travel between the fibers, even against gravity (capillary effect). The first synthetic fiber was developed in the late 1870s when a French engineer Chardonnet working with Louis Pasteur created the first artificial silk of nitrocellulose. Modern fiber technology offers options and insights to develop the concepts for Unsaturated Flow, allowing easier applications.

    TUBARC ACTION (US Pat. 6,766,817) allows 'CAPILLARY ACTION' downward radially from the saturated source, reaching the water table within the Unsaturated Zone and delivering an advanced, reversible, and self-sustaining transfer of fluid delivering new Hydrodynamic conceptions by molecular connectivity on dragging properties. 

    Tubarc (tube + arc) can be flexible with a prevailing cylindrical geometry bearing continuous lateral flow, maintaining pores connected longitudinally, linking multiple compartments, moving fluid in response to a hydraulic gradient within the Unsaturated Hydraulic Zone by an advanced artificial porosity non affected by the constriction of tube geometry imposed by capillarity

    Then, Hydrotechnology as a NEW SCIENCE, after two decades upgrades from a scientific issue to a simple HONESTY OUTCOMEHonest people would reason that wicking and phlogiston are in the same circumstances under a sound scientific approach with a very predictable deadline. Since the time of Giordano Bruno SCIENCE is updated from faith to businesschanging from belief to profit. The Hydraulic Conductivity gap in the issued patents of USPTO is decisive evidence that Hydrology has been neglect on fluidic devices and the conceptions of Unsaturated Flow are not yet fully developed nor are they easily applied according to the scientific literature (Physical and Chemical Hydrogeology, Domenico & Schwartz, John Wiley & Sons, 1990, p. 88). 






    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.


    Longstanding Conspiracy as Cultural Paradigm: Blatantly endorsed by the SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY over a century, USPTO is running a broad Reinvention Scheme that let Lawyers writing scientific patents and assigning LAY Patent Examiners to allow IP rights of issues they are not known in the art, besides multiple patent applications for REINVENTION, sometimes with fraud, concealed Patent Examiner's educational background to disclose their boundary skills, and SUBTLE DOCTORING, mainly on citations and technical terminology. This SCHISM of science when LAWS of man, overstep LAWS of nature for business suggests an upgrade on SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES addressing Nature FunctioningMOTHER NATURE created NO POLITICSno books, no currencies, no borders, no religions, no life after death, no wars or killing in name of a divine, just simple competition for SURVIVAL.


    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.
