Abstract
Abstract An electrically-conductive mass in the form of a small particle encapsulated in a hard non-conductive outer sheath having at least one opening in such sheath permitting contact between such conductive mass and a liquid electrolyte when the particle is immersed in such electrolyte. Preferably, the conductive mass and/or the outer sheath is so formed or treated that the conductive mass does not protrude beyond the sheath at any of said openings.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A BI-POLAR CONDCUTIVE PARTICLE FOR USE IN ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES WHICH COMPRISES: A. A CONDUCTIVE METAL CORE MEMBER; AND B. A HARD, NON-CONDUCTIVE SHATH COMPLETELY ENCAPSULATING SAID CORE MEMBER EXCEPT AT DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED OPENINGS THEREIN WHICH PERMIT CONTACT BETWEEN SUCH CONDUTIVE CORE AND A LIQUID ELECTROLYTE WHEN THE PARTICLE IS IMMERSED IN SUCH ELCTROLYTE; C. SAID CORE MEMBER BEING RECESSED AT SAID OPENINGS IN SAID NON-CONDUCTIVE SHEATH.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
A BI-POLAR CONDCUTIVE PARTICLE FOR USE IN ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES WHICH COMPRISES: A. A CONDUCTIVE METAL CORE MEMBER; AND B. A HARD, NON-CONDUCTIVE SHATH COMPLETELY ENCAPSULATING SAID CORE MEMBER EXCEPT AT DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED OPENINGS THEREIN WHICH PERMIT CONTACT BETWEEN SUCH CONDUTIVE CORE AND A LIQUID ELECTROLYTE WHEN THE PARTICLE IS IMMERSED IN SUCH ELCTROLYTE; C. SAID CORE MEMBER BEING RECESSED AT SAID OPENINGS IN SAID NON-CONDUCTIVE SHEATH.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A particle as in claim 1 wherein said non-conductive sheath is formed from a ceramic material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A particle as in claim 1 wherein said non-conductive sheath is formed from a thermosetting resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A particle as in claim 1 wherein a plurality of small, hard, non-conductive particles are embedded in the material forming said non-conductive sheath.
