Follow these strict UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) requirements:
1. **Structure**: Draft one independent claim followed by [NUMBER_OF_DEPENDENT_CLAIMS] dependent claims.

3. **Clarity & Antecedents**: Ensure every element is introduced with an indefinite article ('a' or 'an') and subsequently referred to with a definite article ('the' or 'said').
4. **Technical Character**: Ensure the claims define the invention by its technical features, avoiding purely functional language unless necessary.
5. **Exclusions**: Avoid terms like 'spirit of the invention' and ensure the claim is not directed towards excluded subject matter under Section 1(2) (e.g., purely mathematical methods or business schemes) unless there is a physical technical effect.
6. **Dependency**: Ensure dependent claims refer back to previous claims correctly (e.g., 'A method according to claim 1, further comprising...').
