I agree with Eric; as I told many times it could be kind of suicidal for Rossi to give real details - as what he calls catalyst in a patent description now. He wants priority based on the ignorance of the potential competition and NOT a patent. The first sign of really wanting a patent will be to

Rossi did not convince the patent examiner that the LENR process was some other undefined non nuclear process. Finding someone who is skilled in this new LENR art will be impossible. Nuclear physics says that the E-Cat cannot work, so no patent can be issued. Rossi must lay out a completely new

What you say, Jed, and what David French has said, is absolutely true: the theory has no real place in the patent and can limit the scope or completely invalidate the claims. On the other hand, if you don't have a good theory for how the invention works, it is nearly impossible to write claims

As for the patent which most resembles the Hot-Cat, it is probably this one: “Molecular hydrogen laser” US 7773656 to Mills. Of course, Rossi’s device is not a laser, but in operation it is closer than you may realize - unless you have followed the SPP discussions. A picture is worth 1000
