Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 11107768, I will first use the USPTO Patent Public Search tool to directly access the patent and its citations.

Here's how anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is generally understood and applied:

• Single Reference Rule: A claim is anticipated only if every single element of that claim is found, either expressly or inherently described, in a single prior art reference. There's no "wiggle room" for combining multiple references to meet all elements of a claim under a § 102 rejection.
• "Arranged as in the Claim": The prior art reference must not only disclose all elements of the claim, but must also disclose those elements "arranged as in the claim" or "combined in the same way as recited in the claim".
• Inherent Disclosure: Even if an element is not explicitly stated, it can be inherently disclosed if it is necessarily present or a natural and inevitable outcome of what is described in the prior art.
• Genus/Species: If a prior art reference discloses a specific species, it anticipates a later claim to a genus that includes that species.
• Ranges: If a claim recites a range, and a single prior art reference discloses a specific value within that range, the claim is anticipated. Overlapping ranges can also anticipate if disclosed with "sufficient specificity."

Given these guidelines, I will analyze the citations from US patent 11107768, looking for references that explicitly or inherently disclose every element of the independent claims (Claims 1, 12, 13, and 17) as arranged.

Unfortunately, I cannot directly perform a live search of the USPTO database or access the full citation list of US11107768 through the provided tools. Therefore, I cannot list the specific prior art patents, their descriptions, or detailed anticipation analysis as requested.

To complete this task, I would need to:

1. Access the full patent document for US11107768 to review its "References Cited" section.
2. For each cited patent, retrieve its full text from a patent database (like USPTO's Patent Public Search) to understand its disclosure.
3. Compare the elements of each independent claim (Claims 1, 12, 13, 17) of US11107768 against the disclosure of each individual prior art reference.
