.~ Single electrode type discharge device, or including particulate material
DEFINITION
Classification: 313/608
Single electrode type discharge device, or including particulate material:
(under subclass 567) Subject matter which include discharge devices having only one electrode; or which have a space
between two electrodes which is at least partially filled with particulate material.
(1) Note. When the discharge device has but one electrode and the voltage to operate the device is applied between the single electrode and some other object, such as ground, the electrostatic field at the discharge device along with the gas pressure and the device structure is capable of causing ionization of the gas or vapor within the device.

154+, for discharge devices which are designed to transmit high frequency electric current into the human body, the devices include an envelope with a confined gas or vapor and an electrode within the envelope, the human body being used as the other electrode to establish a space discharge in the device.
