Text: You need to write one or more descriptions of how the invention works. Describe ALL methods of operation (if there are more than one). At least one of the descriptions must be the best method of operation known to you, and this method of operation should be clearly specified as the best method of operation.

The descriptions should be very clear, very logical, almost mechanical. They should be tied directly to the “Drawings”. Every Drawing consists of things, which are called “elements”, and actions of one thing on other things, which are called “methods”. The text will briefly describe every element and every method (step-by-step), with references to the Drawings for each element and each method.

Examples: “Element (110) is the Server”. “Server (110) sends a message (210) down a (120)”, where the method is “sends a message” and the other numbers are all physical elements.
