So you are talking mainly about cleaning. Here's something interesting. Under Description the patent says: "Preferably, said transition metal is Nickel. In particular, said Nickel is selected from the group comprised of: natural Nickel, i.e. a mixture of isotopes like Nickel 58, Nickel 60, Nickel 61 , Nickel 62, Nickel 64; - a Nickel that contains only one isotope, said isotope selected from the group comprised of: Nickel 58; Nickel 60 Nickel 61 ; - Nickel 62; Nickel 64; - a formulation comprising at least two of such isotopes at a desired proportion." The wording is confusing. It seems to say "Use one isotope, or maybe another, or just pick one from this list . . . take a card, any card." What proportion, by the way? This does not teach a Person Skilled in the Art. Anyway . . . Mono-isotopic nickel? Could that be the secret? Where do buy mono-isotopic material, anyway? National labs used to sell that sort of thing, for lots of money. - Jed
