Most Relevant Prior Art for US Patent 7822141

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 7822141, I will examine the patent citations listed on the face of the patent. The patent document itself is the authoritative source for these citations.

Note: The provided patent text for US7822141B2 does not explicitly list "Prior Art References" in a structured section with full citations and descriptions. Instead, it mentions "Prior art keywords" and "Priority claimed from US10/884,633" which indicates a parent application. To fulfill the request, I will treat the "Priority claimed from US10/884,633" as the most directly relevant prior art reference, as it represents a continuation or divisional relationship. If other prior art references were explicitly listed within the patent text, I would include them.

Priority Application: US10/884,633

• Full Citation: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/884,633
• Publication/Filing Date: July 2, 2004
• Brief Description: US7822141B2 claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/884,633. This indicates that US10/884,633 is a foundational application for the subject matter of US7822141B2. The disclosure of US10/884,633 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into US7822141B2, meaning its content is considered part of the current patent's disclosure.
• Potentially Anticipates Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: Given that US7822141B2 claims priority to US10/884,633 and incorporates its disclosure by reference, it is highly probable that US10/884,633 would anticipate all claims (Claims 1-30) of US7822141B2 under 35 U.S.C. § 102. This is because the earlier filed application likely describes the same invention. If the claims of US7822141B2 are not patentably distinct from the disclosure of US10/884,633, then the priority application would directly anticipate them. The purpose of claiming priority is typically to leverage the earlier filing date for common subject matter.

Since the provided text only explicitly mentions the priority application US10/884,633 as a direct reference, and does not list other "Prior Art References" with full details, this is the most relevant prior art directly cited within the provided patent information. For a more exhaustive prior art analysis, a comprehensive search of the USPTO database for examiner-cited art and applicant-cited art would typically be performed.
