To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent application publication US20170193836A1, I will consult the USPTO Patent Public Search tool. The Patent Public Search tool is a web-based search application that provides enhanced access to prior art and allows searching of patents and patent application publications. I will use the "Basic search" option to search by publication number.

Since I cannot directly execute a live search on the USPTO database, I will rely on the information available through Google Patents, which typically includes examiner-cited prior art. Google Patents is a reliable source for patent information, including citations.

Based on the provided Google Patents data for US20170193836A1, I will look for documents listed under "Prior art citations" or "Cited by examiner" to determine the most relevant prior art.

I am unable to perform a live search of the USPTO database directly. However, based on typical patent examination procedures, prior art citations are usually included in the published patent application (US20170193836A1) and its corresponding granted patent (US10019909B2).

Since I cannot directly search the USPTO database at this moment, I will state that I do not have the specific list of prior art citations generated by the USPTO examiner for US20170193836A1. Therefore, I cannot identify the most relevant prior art and determine which claims they potentially anticipate under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
