Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A METHOD OF OPERATING AN ELECTROLYTIC CELL HAVING AN ANODE, AN ELECTROLYTE, AND A CATHODE, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID ANODE AND CATHODE BEING A GAS ELECTRODE WHEREIN GAS IS SUPPLIED TO THE CELL AT A SOLID ELECTRODE MEMBER HAVING A CATALYTIC SURFACE, SAID CELL BEING USED FOR CAUSING CURRENT TO FLOW EXTERNALLY THROUGH A LOAD CIRCUIT CONNECTING THE ANODE AND CATHODE AND WHEREIN THE CELL VOLTAGE IS LOWERED BY CONTINUOUS OPERATION, CHARACTERIZED BY PERIODICALLY DISCONNECTING SAID CATHODE FROM SAID ANODE EXTERIORLY OF THE CELL AT A FREQUENCY RAPID ENOUGH TO PASS CURRENT AT A VOLTAGE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN THAT OBTAINED UPON CONTINUOUS OPERATION, AND ANODIZING THE CATALYTIC SURFACE OF SAID GAS ELECTRODE DURING AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE TIME WHEN SAID CATHODE IS DISCONNECTED FROM SAID ANODE EXTERIORLY OF THE CELL.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
A METHOD OF OPERATING AN ELECTROLYTIC CELL HAVING AN ANODE, AN ELECTROLYTE, AND A CATHODE, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID ANODE AND CATHODE BEING A GAS ELECTRODE WHEREIN GAS IS SUPPLIED TO THE CELL AT A SOLID ELECTRODE MEMBER HAVING A CATALYTIC SURFACE, SAID CELL BEING USED FOR CAUSING CURRENT TO FLOW EXTERNALLY THROUGH A LOAD CIRCUIT CONNECTING THE ANODE AND CATHODE AND WHEREIN THE CELL VOLTAGE IS LOWERED BY CONTINUOUS OPERATION, CHARACTERIZED BY PERIODICALLY DISCONNECTING SAID CATHODE FROM SAID ANODE EXTERIORLY OF THE CELL AT A FREQUENCY RAPID ENOUGH TO PASS CURRENT AT A VOLTAGE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN THAT OBTAINED UPON CONTINUOUS OPERATION, AND ANODIZING THE CATALYTIC SURFACE OF SAID GAS ELECTRODE DURING AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE TIME WHEN SAID CATHODE IS DISCONNECTED FROM SAID ANODE EXTERIORLY OF THE CELL.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
ELECTRICAL APPARATUS OF THE TYPE HAVING A CELL WITH AN ANODE, AND A MAIN CATHODE, AND AN AUXILIARY CATHODE, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID ANODE AND MAIN CATHODE BEING A GAS ELECTRODE, AND AN ELECTROLYTE, SAID CELL CAUSING CURRENT
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
ELECTRICAL APPARATUS OF THE TYPE HAVING A CELL WITH AN ANODE, AND A MAIN CATHODE, AND AN AUXILIARY CATHODE, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID ANODE AND MAIN CATHODE BEING A GAS ELECTRODE, AND AN ELECTROLYTE, SAID CELL CAUSING CURRENT
