Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A homogeneous composition suitable for shielding an electronic device from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference consisting of: from about 64 to about 78 percent by weight of a vinyl chloride-based resin; a conductive component comprising from about 10 to about 17 percent by weight of finely divided conductive carbon black and from about 5 to about 15 percent by weight of graphite, and up to about 10 percent by weight of additives compatible therewith comprising at least a stabilizer and a lubricant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A homogeneous composition suitable for shielding an electronic device from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference consisting of: from about 64 to about 78 percent by weight of a vinyl chloride-based resin; a conductive component comprising from about 10 to about 17 percent by weight of finely divided conductive carbon black and from about 5 to about 15 percent by weight of graphite, and up to about 10 percent by weight of additives compatible therewith comprising at least a stabilizer and a lubricant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1, wherein the vinyl chloride-based resin is poly(vinyl chloride).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the composition comprises from about 66 to about 72 percent by weight of the thermoplastic resin, from about 12 to about 16 percent by weight of conductive carbon black, about 10 percent by weight of graphite, and up to about 10 percent by weight of the additives.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1, wherein the conductive carbon black has an apparent bulk density of about 150 grams per liter and a particle size under 45 nanometers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition in accordance with claim 4, wherein the conductive carbon black has a particle size of under 25 nanometers.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1, wherein the additives present in said composition comprise a stabilizer, at least two lubricants, a processing aid and a plasticizer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composition in accordance with claim 6, wherein the stabilizer is an organo-tin compound, one of the lubricants is stearic acid, a salt thereof or an ester thereof, and the plasticizer is diundecyl phthalate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method of shielding an electronic device from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference comprising coating the enclosure of said device where shielding is required with an effective amount of the composition of claim 1.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method in accordance with claim 8, wherein a sufficient amount of said composition is coated onto the device enclosure to provide at least about 30 dB shielding.
