Mills patent makes me thinking about Bolotov's late 80s experiments with dc pulse discharge transmutations. He said he discovered first transmitations when sending low vlot high amp current with the density up to 1M amps per square mm. Later uising additives he brought it down to as low as 100.
He was using modified arc welder were secondary coil was essentially a single conductor to achieve high density current.
Lou,
Could not find the patent application.
What about from this link? (which is the same, by the way)
Among other things it points out that the hydrogen gas used needs (?) to be mono-isotopic (i.e. pure) citing Leif Holmlid's work, but Holmlid has suggested that it doesn't have to, and that the condensed hydrogen clusters (ultra-dense hydrogen) in his case can be formed by mixed pairs composed of protons and deuterons.
E.g. here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/…abs/pii/S0022286018308172
Or in plain words: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2018093312A1/en
Quote[...]"Hydrogen" should, in the context of the present application, be understood to include any isotope or mix of isotopes where the nucleus has a single proton. In particular, hydrogen includes protium, deuterium, tritium and any combination of these.
Quote[...]Dense hydrogen is then spontaneously converted to ultra-dense hydrogen called H(0) with a bond distance of 0.5 - 5 pm depending on the spin level. This material is a quantum material (quantum fluid) which may involve both electron pairs (Cooper pairs) and nuclear pairs (proton, deuteron or triton pairs, or mixed pairs).
Detailed discussion and dissection of the LENR-Cars patent application would probably deserve a dedicated thread, though.

I haven't performed any detailed reading yet, but I noticed that the text of these two applications is virtually identical from the paragraphs beginning at "BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS".

Wither Carl goest, can Larry be far behind?
Are these electron clouds equivalent to Shoulders EVOs? I don't see any mention of Shoulders in the Google patent.
Is Shoulders ignored by mainstream physics?
And what about the electron clouds in synchrotrons?
Here is one discussion coming from where I worked a summer job long ago:
Seems that, at least, the undesirable effects of high density electron clusters have been recognized!
"It wasn't until the 1990's that the buildup of high densities of low-energy electrons was identified as the reason behind performance limitations in many types of particle accelerators over the preceding decades. Nowadays the incorporation of means to prevent the buildup of electron clouds is a necessary feature of modern accelerator design. These electrons cause a wide variety of undesirable effects, such as increased beam size, beam loss due to instabilities, distortions of the magnetic lattice optics, noise induced in instrumentation, vacuum contamination and increased heat load on cryogenically cooled accelerator components."

USPTO Patent Application 20190043624 February 7, 2019
Applicant: Google Inc. / U. of Maryland, College Park
Enhanced Electron Screening Through Plasmon Oscillations
AbstractEnhanced Coulomb repulsion screening around light element nuclei is achieved by way of utilizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation to induce plasmon oscillations in target structures (e.g., nanoparticles) in a way that produces high density electron clouds in localized regions of the target structures, thereby generating charge density variations around light element atoms located in the localized regions. Each target structure includes an electrically conductive body including light elements (e.g., a metal hydride/deuteride/tritide) that is configured to undergo plasmon oscillations in response to the applied EM radiation. The induced oscillations causes free electrons to converge in the localized region, thereby producing transient high electron charge density levels that enhance Coulomb repulsion screening around light element (e.g., deuterium) atoms located in the localized regions. Various systems capable of implementing enhanced Coulomb repulsion screening are described, and various nanostructure compositions and configurations are disclosed that serve to further enhance fusion reaction rates.

Target Structure For Enhanced Electron Screening
Abstract
Enhanced Coulomb repulsion (electron) screening around light element nuclei is achieved by way of utilizing target structures (e.g., nanoparticles) that undergo plasmon oscillation when subjected to electromagnetic (EM) radiation, whereby transient high density electron clouds are produced in localized regions of the target structures during each plasmon oscillation cycle. Each target structure includes an integral body composed of an electrically conductive material that contains light element atoms (e.g., metal hydrides, metal deuterides or metal tritides). The integral body is also configured (i.e., shaped/sized) to undergo plasmon oscillations in response to the applied EM radiation such that the transient high density electron clouds are formed during each plasmon oscillation cycle, whereby brief but significantly elevated charge density variations are generated around light element (e.g., deuterium) atoms located in the localized regions, thereby enhancing Coulomb repulsion screening to enhance nuclear fusion reaction rates. Various target structure compositions and configurations are disclosed.

These two new patents have Joseph Murray as co-inventor. Is this the same Joe Murray IH employed for Doral?

I see one is a Joseph B., the other on the IH patent is a Joseph A. Oh well.
Here are links to the pdf versions of the Google patent applications.
The first two appear to have the same figures and specifications.
When a patent is examined, the USPTO may determine that the claims are directed to more than one invention and issue a restriction requirement to make the inventor elect only a subset of the claims to be examined initially. The non-elected claims can be included in later filings of divisional or continuation applications that retain the same priority date.
In this case it looks like they initially filed two sets of claims to avoid a later restriction requirement and start the examination of both sets of claims more quickly.

The title is “Enhanced Electron Screening Through Plasmon Oscillations”.
@[email protected] I guess they did. Even though all I did was to link this Lou's post in reply to BG

Author/inventor Klee Irwin does not hide the fact it involves LENR. He spells it right out.

An apparatus for generating power via low energy nuclear reactions (LENR), comprising:a quasicrystal or quasicrystalline approximant material designed to have an arrangement of atoms, associated with a structure of the quasicrystal or quasicrystalline approximant material, forming active sites for LENR to occur when the material is loaded with a hydrogen isotope.
