AUG 26 HOW VALUABLE IS ROSSI'S US PATENT?

ROSSI'S US PATENT

So Andrea Rossi has an anchor- a first  US patent for the E-Cat!

Scientists are judged mainly by the NUMBER of publications, this leads to a trend of salami science- to slice their science in "least publishable units" see please:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_publishable_unit
Similarly, but for different, more complex reasons a new technology has to be cut in pieces- like a pig is cut- patentable parts thus generating a number of related patents, A good technology butcher knows the rules and gets the most rational and smart combination of patents. The IP essence of the technology is revealed step-wise  by combining the patents and the value of each new patent is measured by what it says but also but what it does not say!
This patent is a good thing, good for Rossi, good for LENR's prestige, development and future. Not a perfect, total revelation of Rossi's technology- this cannot be expected. But Rossi was realist (composed a patentable patent much better than the older ones), pragmatic (has told  relevant things about the heat transfer function of the E-Cats and has given enough attractive data re the heat generation function of the E-Cat) and materialistic (has found an optimum patentable unit- fragment of his technology). Anyway, his technology is in continuous change and development- consider his patent was filled on Mar, 14, 2012 and probably m\not much was up-dated, improved in the text despite "discussions" with the Patent Office. 
Possibly many things, including the recipe have changed, improved. What the patent says about the roles of hydrogen, lithium and nickel- must be discussed- and surely it will be!
Obviously the patent can be criticized and attacked, but I think it is useless. The patent is essential for creating a fixed point, a base and is for inspiration and encouragement- not for copying and applications.
A confession: when I have read the patent, due to my love of opera music I thought-
this patent is exact the contrary of Edgardo from Lucia di Lammermoor- in this aria:
http://opera.stanford.edu/Donizetti/LuciaDiLammermoor/III.3.html
The patent is "il primo avanzo di una stirpe felice" ( first son of a happy race).

Joy equal to yours created in me the news of the happy outcome of the recognition of your work …
Congratulations also for historical reasons.

Prof Christos Stremmenos:
Obviously I am honoured to receive this comment from a scientist that has worked with Prof Focardi and has been among the most important pioneers of this science.
God bless you, dear Prof. Christos Stremmenos!
Warm Regards,
Andrea

Hank Mills:
In the patent we have disclosed all the issues related to the specific system and apparatus.
More patents are in preparation related to other issues. I will answer to questions related to what has been disclosed, not obviously to issues that are subject of further patents concerning the upgrade of the invention.
For this reason you will find the possible answers. Give me some minute, I have an urgency inside the plant right now ( 08.35 p.m. of August 25th).
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Hank Mills:
Your questions are related to further patent applications we are working upon related to the upgrade of the technology.
Every patent is part of the global IP of our concern and, while the patent disclosures have to be elaborated by means of an immense work with our attorneys, such work is continuing for many other issues that will be disclosed in the next patent applications.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

John:

This patent is part of the IP and many other patent applications are incoming. I am working on 64 patent applications right now.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Thank you anyway for your wish.

14) Asia’s quest for clean energy:

http://www.eog-asia.com/asias-quest-for-clean-energy/

It says:

LENR: a fresh option                                                                                                                           The transition from the so-called dirty to clean energy status may take some time, according to findings from Bloomberg New Energy Finance or BNEF. It projected that by 2040, more than half the world’s energy would have come from cleaner sources, with 46% of global electricity generated by clean energy, top billed by wind turbines and solar panels.

Not oft-mentioned but nevertheless it offers insurmountable clean energy potential is the Ultralow Energy Neutron Reactions (LENR). Like many other clean energy platforms, it has been undercommercialised.

“The LENR technology, if successfully commercialised and scaled-up, could potentially replace fossil fuels in the not-too-distant future (over a period of 20-40 years) because it would be CO2-free and significantly less costly for consumers and businesses,” said Lewis G. Larsen, CEO/President of Chicago-based Lattice Energy LLC in an interview with PRA.

When asked if LENR is a viable alternative to fossil fuels (as an energy source), he replied, “LENRs are much more synergistic than competitive fossil fuels such as oil and coal.”

Larsen, who has been involved in developing the technology since 1997, said that LENRs are a “truly biosafe nuclear technology that involves neither fission nor any kind of fusion process, hot, cold, warm, or otherwise.”

He explained the “clean energy” potentials of this technology in various applications. “LENRs’ uniquely green attributes would also enable the future development of revolutionary, compact battery-like portable nuclear power sources that could compete directly with chemical batteries and fuel cells in many high-performance applications that include portable electronic devices like power tools, tablet computers, and smartphones,” he said.

How can emerging and underdeveloped nations in the Asian region benefit from LENRs? “At system power outputs of just 5-10 kW, green LENR-based distributed CHP power generation systems providing heat and electricity could potentially satisfy the requirements of a majority of urban and rural households and smaller businesses throughout Asia. For system power outputs of just 50-200 kW thermal, LENRbased systems could begin to power steam or electric vehicles, breaking oil’s stranglehold on transportation; as well as provide high-quality heat for industrial processes.”

Nevertheless, as with other new technologies, deployment is an issue.

“Small-scale LENR systems might seem to be light years away from being able to compete headon with enormous 500-1,000 MW coal-fired and Uranium-fission power plants,” said Larsen, adding that it is not a remote possibility that commercial versions of LENR technologies could begin competing directly with coal, oil, and natural gas as a cost-effective CO2-free primary energy source.

“If grid-scale LENR-based power plants were built, there is an excellent chance that they might be around 54-74% less expensive than natural gas,” he claims.

Currently, R&D efforts on LENR are being carried out in countries like the US, Japan, China, Ukraine, and the EU.

Larsen said that he is mulling expansion to Asia in the future. “Someday, we would like to second-source, licence, and/or partner with Asian companies,” he adds.
