Nominally patents are supposed to describe these technical details, but unfortunately the law ("enablement") has no teeth in the US. When I was a patent examiner, I wanted to do enablement rejections, but couldn't. The law is supposed to incentivize properly documenting the invention, but attorneys have gamed the system, disclosing little in exchange for a monopoly.
