    $\begingroup$ Of course there isn't a good way to link to a patent from the USPTO itself, but the basic search ppubs.uspto.gov/basic and patent number 12415625 will get you to the proper patent that includes the actual figures. Hopefully that will clarify what the patent is about $\endgroup$ Commented 2 days ago
