Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
An article of manufacture comprising a substantially transparent, high density polycrystalline yttria-based body which is thermodynamically more stable in the environment of a high-pressure sodium vapor lamp than yttria doped with +4 valence ions, consisting essentially of yttria and from about 6 to 14 mole percent lanthana.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
47 words
An article of manufacture comprising a substantially transparent, high density polycrystalline yttria-based body which is thermodynamically more stable in the environment of a high-pressure sodium vapor lamp than yttria doped with +4 valence ions, consisting essentially of yttria and from about 6 to 14 mole percent lanthana.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
An article of manufacture as defined in claim 1 containing from about 8 to 11 mole percent lanthana.
