Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
IN A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD INCLUDING A PATTERN OF CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL AND AT LEAST ONE DEVICE HAVING A PLURALITY OF ELECTRODES CONNECTED TO SAID CONDUCTIVE PATTERN, MEANS FOR ELECTRICALLY ISOLATING AT LEAST ONE OF SAID ELECTRODES FROM SAID PATTERN, SAID MEANS COMPRISING A BODY OF NORMALLY SOLID SOLDER LOCATED ON SAID PATTERN ADJACENT SAID ONE ELECTRODE, SAID SOLDER OF SAID BODY BEING ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE, SAID BODY HAVING A CHARACTERISTIC READILY IDENTIFIABLE SHAPE THEREBY TO INDICATE THE LOCATION OF SAID ISOLATING MEANS, SAID BODY COMPRISING A PAIR OF CLOSELY ADJACENT READILY CONNECTABLE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE SEGMENTS TO FORM A CONNECTION BETWEEN SAID ELECTRODE AND SAID PATTERN AFTER ITS DISCONNECTION THEREFROM AT SAID ISOLATION MEANS.
