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.

You are a fool---
If you can’t understand legal or technical writing, you have no business blogging about it
“Wicking” is a term of art---fluid will travel in any direction via the fibers—regardless of gravity
-------------------
"Wick/wicking is in the patent classification system but not on HYDROLOGY textbooks."
LEGAL WICKING as the term of the art regardless of gravity confirms USPTO long standing bias ignoring hydrology on conductivity parameters of issued patents (11/30/23):
Thermal/Heat Conductivity 176.074 pat.
Electric/Electrical Conductivity 139.254 pat.
Hydraulic Conductivity 1.329 pat.
Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity 38 pat.
Wick/wicking 66.415 pat.
The US Government states that LEGAL WICKING is not technical, being inert to gravity LAW, meaning that LEGAL OIL LAMPS and LEGAL CANDLES can work upsided down. This sort of deceiving is behind the Economic Melting Down of 2008 burning about 41 trillion dollars, also dumping 1,1 million American as the leader of the COVID-19 pandemic catastrophe that took around 7 million lives world widely. In addition, obesity and sedentarism letting human beings miss brain capacity by becoming grumpier and dumber on neurogenesis effect.
Science is our understanding on nature functioning. Humans learn to respect nature early as babies on the first steps taming gravity for walking and running. Soon we understand the consequences of missteping and falling down. Therefore, all issued patents dealing with wick/wicking are CERTAINLY frauded because PATENT EXAMINERS ignored their homework from the beginning of their lives - GRAVITY.

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

Dr. Owen, my medicine is a bit bitter than that one swallowed by Albert Einstein by just stretching his tongue:
_____________________________________________________________
This email from an Emeritus Faculty of Educational Psychology provided valuable insights and feedback showing how deep the academic community is compromised on scientific affairs in the US.They were supposed to know that Darcy’s Law on Hydraulic Conductivity is not written in the US constitution, but endorsed by Mother Nature.
_____________________________________________________________
Nobel Prize is IMPORTANT TO HUMAN KIND, as 50% is business, 40% politics, 5% bad science and 5% good science from an educated abstraction. Nobel Prize Nomination of Economic Science was introduced to pretend that Human Business could overlap nature functioning. THE US AS THE FIRST ECONOMIC POWER IN THE WORLD GRABBED TWO-THIRDS (411/621) OF NOBEL PRIZE NOMINATIONS FOR SCIENCE. Exploratory Analysis shows that the American scientific community has been violating Hydrology science in the Patenting System more than a century, leaving a gap huge enough for a new science Hydrotechnology. It seems that working with the Chemistry of explosives is far more profitable than the Hydrology of self-watering flower pots. Mr. Alfred Nobel, Arms Dealer, Merchant of Death, 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, regardless of BOUNDARIES, 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).
