Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A dried emulsion process for introducing an additive, selected from the group consisting of cadmium zinc borate, niobium pentoxide, manganese oxide, and bismuth oxide, into fine powder ceramic multi-layer capacitor materials, said process comprising: forming an aqueous solution of precursors of said additive; forming an emulsion of a surfactant, a waterimmiscible fluid, and a dispersion of droplets of said solution; distilling water and said fluid from said emulsion so as to result in a dried emulsion of said precursors; and introducing an amount greater than 0% and up to 5% by weight of said dried emulsion into fine powder ceramic materials.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A dried emulsion process for introducing an additive, selected from the group consisting of cadmium zinc borate, niobium pentoxide, manganese oxide, and bismuth oxide, into fine powder ceramic multi-layer capacitor materials, said process comprising: forming an aqueous solution of precursors of said additive; forming an emulsion of a surfactant, a waterimmiscible fluid, and a dispersion of droplets of said solution; distilling water and said fluid from said emulsion so as to result in a dried emulsion of said precursors; and introducing an amount greater than 0% and up to 5% by weight of said dried emulsion into fine powder ceramic materials.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The dried emulsion process of claim 1 wherein said ceramic materials are in paint form, and said dried emulsion is added to said paint anD is sintered with said paint so as to convert said precursors into the desired additive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The dried emulsion process of claim 1 wherein said precursors are salts selected so as to provide desired reducing or oxidizing conditions for said sintering.
