Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A method of protecting an electronic component from the environment comprising the steps of providing a bag made from thermoplastic heat shrink material, inserting said electronic component into said bag, injecting a liquid polymerizable resin into said bag, heating said bag to shrink it about said electronic component and said resin and thereby exhaust air from within said bag, and curing said resin.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
63 words
A method of protecting an electronic component from the environment comprising the steps of providing a bag made from thermoplastic heat shrink material, inserting said electronic component into said bag, injecting a liquid polymerizable resin into said bag, heating said bag to shrink it about said electronic component and said resin and thereby exhaust air from within said bag, and curing said resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of providing a second bag and coating the surface of one of said bags that is juxtaposed to the surface of the other of said bags with an electrically conductive coating.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said bag and resin are heated concomitantly to effect shrinking and polymerization thereof, respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of coating the exterior of said bag with an electrically conductive material and placing said bag in an outer bag of thermoplastic heat shrinkable material.
