Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 37 words
An electrode for monitoring an ionic species, said electrode being coated with a film of a metallic oxide, the improvement comprising said electrode having an exterior surface comprising a substantially pure stoichiometric tilm of said metallic oxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 37 words
An electrode for monitoring an ionic species, said electrode being coated with a film of a metallic oxide, the improvement comprising said electrode having an exterior surface comprising a substantially pure stoichiometric tilm of said metallic oxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
The electrode of Claim 1 wherein said oxide has been deposited by sputtering in a reactive atmosphere rich in oxygen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
The electrode of Claim 1 wherein said metallic oxide is a stoichiometrically pure metallic oxide of the Me 0 composition where x and y are positive integers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The electrode of Claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said metallic oxide is deposited on a dielectric surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 20 words
An electrochemical system including an electrode as claimed in any preceding claim for monitoring an ionic species of the system.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 96 words
An electrochemical system in which a pH monitoring electrode is used for pH monitoring by measuring the potential relative to a standard reference electrode, said pH monitoring electrode being coated with a film of a metallic oxide of Pt, Rh, Ir, Pd, Os, Ru, R b, Re, Rh, Ru, Mo and W or alloys thereof with each other or with other metals, the improvement comprising said pH electrode having an exterior surface comprising a thin film of said metallic oxide which is at least about 0.25 micrometers thick and which is deposited on a dielectric substrate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 96 words
