Not to go on about that sentence, but it is pretty interesting. It is a perfect example of patent legalese, where legibility is thrown to the wind for the sake of legal exactness.

This link states that average sentences should be around 15-20 words. That sentence has the word “quantum” in it 21 times. That is almost as interesting, to me, as the amazing thing the patent describes.
