DEFINITION

Classification: 264/484

Utilizing electrostatic charge, field, or force (e.g., pinning, etc.):

(under subclass 405) Processes wherein the energy used is static electrical or the force or field created thereby.

(1) Note. Electrostatic energy is considered to be a form of electrical energy which has the capability of attracting and holding small particles having an opposite electrical charge.

(2) Note. An electrostatic charge is considered to be electric energy stored in a capacitor or on the surface of an insulated object.

(3) Note. An electrostatic field is considered to be the vector force field set up in the vicinity of non-moving electrical charges.
