DETAILED ACTION Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. This action is in response to the application filed 09/01/2023 and the IDS filed 06/04/2024. Claim 22 is pending and being examined. Claims 1-21 are canceled. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112 The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b): (b ) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), second paragraph: The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the appl icant regards as his invention. Claim 22 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor (or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant), regards as the invention. Considering claim 22 , the claim language requires a first chamber and a fist sorbent which suggests that there is a second chamber /sorbent . However, the claims do not comprise a second chamber /sorbent and/or multiple chambers /sorbents . In addition, it is unclear what the moving closure seals the first chamber from; in other words, is it sealing both inlet and outlets of the chamber or just the inlet to the first chamber. For the purpose of examination, the claim will be interpreted such that the moving closure seals the first chamber from flowing fluid to the first chamber. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102 In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis ( i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status. The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action: A person shall be entitled to a patent unless – (a)(1) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale , or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention. Claim 22 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Judkins et al. (US 5972077). Considering claim 22 , Judkins teaches a method for extracting carbon dioxide from a fluid (Judkins, abstract). Judkins teaches flowing the fluid from a fluid source to a first chamber, contacting the fluid with a first sorbent disposed in the first chamber such that the first sorbent adsorbs carbon dioxide from the fluid and applying electric current to the first sorbent to heat the first sorbent to a predetermined temperature to extract carbon dioxide from the first sorbent (Judkins, claims 1 and 4 , Col. 4 lines 51- 64 ). Judkins teaches moving a closure to seal the first chamber after adsorption and before desorption by teaching isolating the source from the system by means of a valve when the adsorbent is saturated and prior to desorption (Judkins, Col. 4 lines 46-51).
