904.~ Utilizing low energy electromagnetic radiation (e.g., microwave, radio wave, IR, UV, visible, actinic laser, etc.)


DEFINITION

Classification: 427/904

Utilizing low energy electromagnetic radiation (e.g., microwave, radio wave, IR, UV, visible, actinic, laser, etc.):

(under subclass 902) Process wherein low energy electromagnetic radiation is used during any stage of the coating operation to deposit a diamond-like coating.

(1) Note. The term low energy electromagnetic radiation, as employed here, includes, e.g., ultraviolet, infrared, visible light, actinic, microwave, and radio waves. Electromagnetic wave energy measured above wavelengths of 100 Angstroms (10 to the minus 8 meters) will be considered low energy electromagnetic radiation.
