Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THERMISTORS, THE METHOD WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF (A) PREPARING BATCH QUANTITIES OF FINELY DIVIDED SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL FOR FABRICATING AS SIMILAR THERMISTORS, (B) SUBJECTING THE MATERIAL TO SINTERING HEAT AND THEREBY AGGLOMERATING IT TO FORM BODIES FOR THE TERMISTORS, (C) APPLYING ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS TO SAID BODIES TO CONSTITUTE THEM AS THERMISTOR ELEMENTS, (D) ASSEMBLING SAID ELEMENTS IN PLURALITIES WHOSE COMPOSITE RESISTANCE HAS A FIRST PREDETERMINED VALUE WITHIN A SELECTED TOLERANCE AT ONE POINT IN AN ELECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE, AND (E) UTILIZING FROM SAID ASSEMBLED ELEMENT PLURALITIES THOSE PLUALITIES WHOSE COMPOSITE RESISTANCE HAS A SECOND PREDETERMINED VALUE WITHIN A SELECTED TOLERANCE AT ANOTHER SPACED POINT IN SAID ELECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE BY THEN CONNECTING THOSE LATTER PLURALITIES TOGETHER TO FORM COMPOSITE THERMISTOR UNITS WHOSE RESISTANCE-TEMPERATURE CURVES ARE IDENTICAL WITHIN THE SELECTED TOLERANCE THROUGHOUT SAID ELECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE.
