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. 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. Claims 1-20 are 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. Claim 1 recites the limitation "the difference of the energy" in lines 10-11. There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim. For examination purposes, the claim will be considered to recite "[[the]] a difference of the energy." Claim 1 recites the limitation "the control unit" in line 12. There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim. For examination purposes, the claim will be considered to recite "[[the]] a control unit." Claims 2-20 are rejected as depending from a rejected claim. Allowable Subject Matter Claims 1-20 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejection(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), 2nd paragraph, set forth in this Office action. The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter: While it is known in the art to provide a method for physical treatment of liquid or gaseous media by means of electromagnetic emission with a variable frequency of emission which is emitted into a flowing medium via an electromagnetic emission emitter and an antenna from a space inside the medium, wherein an electromagnetic emission with a specified frequency is generated in the form of electromagnetic pulses and it is emitted into the medium through an interface , then the electromagnetic emission passes through the medium, and the energy of the generated electromagnetic emission and the energy of the electromagnetic emission passed through the medium, and received via the antenna by an electromagnetic emission receiver, are measured in an electromagnetic emission analyser , furthermore, [[ the ]] a difference of the energy of the generated electromagnetic emission and the energy of the electromagnetic emission passed through the medium i s determined in [[ the ]] a control unit, and based on the determined difference of the said energies, the specified frequency of the generated electromagnetic emission is adjusted to increase the difference of the said energies, wherein the steps of the generating electromagnetic emission with a specified frequency, the electromagnetic emission entry into the medium, the passage of the electromagnetic emission through the medium, energy measurement, the determining of energy difference and the adjustment of the specified frequency of the generated electromagnetic emission are repeated until essentially the maximum energy difference is achieved (see, for example, US 6,193,878 to Morse et al.) , in the examiner’s opinion the prior art fails to teach or render obvious the interface being made of a silicon-based material surrounding the antenna, thus achieving synchronisation of the frequency of the electromagnetic emission with a precession frequency of protons in the medium and electromagnetic emission energy absorption by the medium. The instant invention provides at least the benefits disclosed in the last paragraph spanning pages 4-5 of the instant specification.
