Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
42 words
The method of poling a ferro-electric ceramic body comprising the steps of: exposing the opposed major surfaces of said body respectively to two electrically and mechanically isolated regions of ionization; and establishing an electric unidirectional potential difference between said regions of ionization.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
42 words
The method of poling a ferro-electric ceramic body comprising the steps of: exposing the opposed major surfaces of said body respectively to two electrically and mechanically isolated regions of ionization; and establishing an electric unidirectional potential difference between said regions of ionization.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
79 words
The method of poling a piezoelectric ceramic body comprising the steps of: sealing the body in a closed container of electrical insulating material to divide the interior of said container into two sub-chambers hermetically sealed and electrically isolated from each other; reducing the pressure in each of said sub-chambers to a pressure substantially below atmospheric pressure; independently ionizing the residual gas in each of said sub-chambers; and establishing a DC potential difference between the ionized gas in said sub-chambers.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
79 words
The method of poling a piezoelectric ceramic body comprising the steps of: sealing the body in a closed container of electrical insulating material to divide the interior of said container into two sub-chambers hermetically sealed and electrically isolated from each other; reducing the pressure in each of said sub-chambers to a pressure substantially below atmospheric pressure; independently ionizing the residual gas in each of said sub-chambers; and establishing a DC potential difference between the ionized gas in said sub-chambers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method as defined in claim 2 wherein said ionizing step includes establishing an electric field in each of said sub-chambers of a strength sufficient to establish a glow discharge therein.
