The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. Claim s 1- 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b), as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor, regards as the invention. In claim 1 , the scope of a target material is not clear. Is it a compound such an organic compound, a metal oxide and/or an alloy that one wishes to form in the chemical reaction or is it a mixture that one wishes to use in the chemical reaction ? In claim 1it appears that the target material is something that one wishes to obtain, but in claim 2 the reference to “the material” appears to indicate that the target material is related to the precursor electrolyte and the substrate. Additionally, if it the target material is something that one wished to produce through the chemical reaction, it is not clear how specific the target material needs to be defined . Is it a specific metal oxide such as MnO 2 and/or a more general structure such as A a B b O x where A is a metal atom in a specific oxidation state, a is the number of metal atoms A in the target material structure, B is an atom capable of forming an oxide, b is the number of B atoms in the target material structure, O is the oxygen atom and x is the number of oxygen atoms in the target material structure? A re the stored thermodynamic parameters being filtered only those associated with chemical compounds based on receiving the target material or do they also include thermodynamic parameters associated with the available substrate structures? What are “chemical compounds based on receiving the target material? For example, if the target material is MnO 2 , are the chemical compounds things such as manganese chlorides, manganese bromides, manganese sulfates, manganese carbonates and/or other compounds capable of providing the manganese or does it include other compounds capable of providing the oxygen such as hydroxides and/or peroxides? Also, it is not clear how the stored thermodynamic parameters are related to the various recommendations being made. For example, how i s a stored thermodynamic parameter associated with the chemical compound based on receiving the target material capable of leading to a recommendation of a precursor electrolyte, a substrate structure and/or electrochemical conditions for obtaining the target material? Are they thermodynamic properties of compounds that will form the precursor electrolyte but are not involved in the chemical reaction and/or are they thermodynamic properties of chemical compounds (i.e. gases or solids) involved in the reaction but not necessarily present in the precursor electrolyte? It is also not clear what constitutes an “available substrate structure” and its relationship with and/or purpose in the chemical reaction. What is the difference between a substrate structure that is “available” and one that is not available? Is the substrate “available” because it is part of the autonomous device o f claim 2 (i.e. a beaker, tube, vial or other container for holding/hosting the target material during the chemical reaction , an electrode used during the chemical reaction, a catalyst or heating substrate used in the chemical reaction or something else) , in the same room and/or building that the reaction will take place so that it can be incorporated into the autonomous device of claim 2 , a substrate or material that can be prepared and/or purchased for incorporation in the autonomous device of claim 2 or is the availability of the substrate related to the reaction and the function/ purpose it will perform during the reaction (i.e. a container, a catalytic substrate , an insulating/protective substrate and/or a deposition substrate)? In claim 2, “the material” does not have proper antecedent basis since it is not clear if applicant is referring to the target material or some other defined material of claim 1 or an as yet undefined material. Claims 10-11 include the language of claims 1-2 respectively what the claimed instructions cause when executed by the claimed processor so that these claims have the same problems as outlined for claims 1-2 above. Claims 19-20 define/require program code to perform the steps of claims 1-2 respectively so that these claims also have the same problems as outlined for claims 1-2 above. All other claims depend from one or more of the above independent claims an fail to correct all of the problems of the independent claim from which they depend. 35 U.S.C. 101 reads as follows: Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title. Claims 1-20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 101 because the claimed invention is directed to an abstract ides without significantly more. The claims recite filtering stored thermodynamic parameters associated with chemical compounds based on receiving the target material and the set of available substrate structures; and generating a recommendation indicating a precursor electrolyte, a substrate structure from the set of available substrate structures, and electrochemical conditions for obtaining the target material, the recommendation being generated based on filtering the stored thermodynamic parameters. Each of the filtering and generating steps are functional evaluation steps that can be practically performed in the human mind. Thus these steps are abstract ideas in the "mental process" grouping . This judicial exception is not integrated into a practical application because the receiving a target material and a set of available substrate structures to host the target material step of claims 1 and 19 constitute data gathering steps required to perform the filtering and generating steps which do not add a meaningful limitation to the method as they are insignificant extra-solution activity . With respect to claim 10 , the processor and coupled memory constitute generically recited computer elements which do not add a meaningful limitation to the abstract idea because they amount to simply implementing the abstract idea on a computer . The claim(s) does/do not include additional elements that are sufficient to amount to significantly more than the judicial exception because the additional steps/elements only store, retrieve and/or process information which are well-understood, routine, conventional computer functions as recognized by the court decisions listed in MPEP § 2106.05(d) . The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure. The cited art is related to various methods and programs for producing compounds in which a Pourbaix diagram was used, modelling and/or predicting reaction parameters and/or results.
