Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
A target structure for a scanning beam electrOnic device comprising a metallic support frame member, a finely apertured nickel metal mesh rigidly positioned across said frame member, and a homogeneous magnesium oxide target comprising a continuous layer of about 400-600 angstrom thickness supported directly on one side of said metal mesh, one surface of said layer being in line contact with said one side of the metal mesh.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
A target structure for a scanning beam electrOnic device comprising a metallic support frame member, a finely apertured nickel metal mesh rigidly positioned across said frame member, and a homogeneous magnesium oxide target comprising a continuous layer of about 400-600 angstrom thickness supported directly on one side of said metal mesh, one surface of said layer being in line contact with said one side of the metal mesh.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The target structure of claim 1 wherein said finely apertured nickel metal mesh has a gauge of about 1,000 lines per inch and has a ratio of mesh-to-opening area sufficient to provide about 60 percent transmission of light therethrough.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
69 words
A rugged target structure for a scanning beam electronic device comprising a metallic support frame member, a finely apertured metal mesh rigidly positioned across said frame member, and a homogeneous, thin, magnesium oxide target comprising a continuous layer of about 400-600 angstrom thickness supported directly on one side of said metal mesh, one surface of said layer being in line contact with said one side of said metal mesh.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
69 words
A rugged target structure for a scanning beam electronic device comprising a metallic support frame member, a finely apertured metal mesh rigidly positioned across said frame member, and a homogeneous, thin, magnesium oxide target comprising a continuous layer of about 400-600 angstrom thickness supported directly on one side of said metal mesh, one surface of said layer being in line contact with said one side of said metal mesh.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
The target structure of claim 3 wherein said target layer comprises an oxidized layer of magnesium metal.
