Summary
The application appears to relate to a pump of some sort comprising an enclosed arrangement of turbine blades, driven by a system of levers, whose motion is used to compress a gas or create a vacuum therebetween. The Hearing office held that the claims were unclear and that the invention was not sufficiently disclosed in a manner which was clear enough and complete enough for it to be performed by a person skilled in the art contrary to the requirements of sections 14(3) and 14(5)(b).
