DEFINITION

Classification: 427/496

High energy electromagnetic radiation or high energy particles utilized (e.g., gamma rays, X-rays, atomic particles, i.e., alpha rays, beta rays, electrons, etc.):

(under subclass 487) Processes wherein the energy used to effect the polymerization of the coating is high energy electromagnetic radiation or high energy particles.

(1) Note. The term "high energy electromagnetic radiation or high energy particles", as employed here and in indented subclasses includes; e.g., X-rays, gamma rays, atomic particles, i.e., alpha particles, beta particles, and high energy electrons. Electromagnetic wave energy measured below wavelengths of 100 Angstroms (10 to the minus 8 meters) will be considered "high energy electromagnetic radiation or high energy particle." This subject matter is often referred to as "high energy ionizing radiation." a. gamma ray (.000 ---1.40 A); b. X-ray (0.1 ---100 A); c. atomic particle alpha ray; beta ray; d. high energy electrons accelerated (This list is not intended to be exhaustive and is not limited to the above examples.)
