Teslaalset-- This "Three-Body Association Reactions With Molecular Bonding" reaction is another form of a electron screening reaction it seems.
It seems to provide a mechanism for generating enough kinetic energy to overcome the repulsion of two positively charged particles. I have copied some pertinent discussion from the patent application below: >>>[0051] Consider a Widely separated pair of reactants thermally at rest that >>>can form a bond without regard to any electron between them. The energy >>>difference between separated reactants and product ground state, E R, is the >>>maximum reaction energy available. With the reactants initially far apart, >>>the entire available reaction energy ER is all potential energy, and the >>>potential well depth equals E R. [0052] Now let the two reactants also be >>>electropositive, such as oxygen or nitrogen atoms, or such as carbon >>>monoxide (CO) and oxygen (0) and each adsorbed on a metal catalyst such as >>>palladium (Pd) or platinum (Pt). Carbon monoxide is adsorbed on a surface of >>>atoms in an "egg crate" pocket. An oxygen atom is adsorbed on an adjacent >>>egg crate pocket. If a thermal electron finds itself between the oxygen (0) >>>and the carbon monoxide, the thermal electron between them causes the >>>reaction. The electron between them causes the carbon monoxide to smash into >>>the oxygen, literally, because electron is negative, the carbon monoxide and >>>O are positive, and they attract strongly. The "temperature" of the "smash" >>>is approximately 20,000 to 30,000 degrees Kelvin. The three-body reaction >>>gently dampens the smashing by using the electron as the damper. The damped >>>electron now has all the energy and was squeezed out like slippery water >>>melon seed between fingers. The potential energy for these three bodies, an >>>electron betWeen tWo positives, is always attractive. This >>>positive-negative-positive three-body configuration is the starting point >>>and initial condition for a three-body association reaction.<<< Nickel may also work as a catalyst as well as a positively charge particle in a three bodied reaction as described above. I think this should be referred to as the slippery watermelon seed effect.

The inventors actually don't mention the term LENR, but indicated that the actual physical effects are still unknown. Ni - H is part of it, but the claims are much wider regarding the potential combinations of elements. http://www.google.com/patents/US20140034116/
