          Appeal No. 93-2172                                                          
          Application 07/363,758                                                      


               46. The glass plate of claim 45, wherein the thickness of              
          the layer is between about 1800 to 4500 Angstroms.                          

               47. The glass plate of claim 46, wherein the electrical                
          properties of the layer comprise an emissivity of less than or              
          equal to 0.15 and a resistivity of 3 x 10  ohm-cm or less.-4                                 

               59. A plate of glass coated with a pyrolyzed metal oxide               
          layer comprising indium and tin oxides formed by depositing a               
          predetermined amount of a mixture of an organic indium compound             
          and a tin compound on a heated substrate, thereby pyrolyzing the            
          mixture.                                                                    

               The sole reference relied upon by the examiner is:                     
          King et al. (King)       4,006,070                Feb. 1, 1977              
               The appealed claims stand rejected for obviousness (35                 
          U.S.C. § 103) over King.                                                    
               We reverse the rejection as to claims 37 and 51.  We affirm            
          the rejection as to claims 43-50 and 52-66.                                 
               The subject matter on appeal is broadly directed to a glass            
          plate coated with a layer of indium oxide or indium and tin                 
          oxides formed by pyrolyzing organic indium and/or tin compounds             
          on a heated glass substrate.  Layers formed by the pyrolyzing               
          process have a low emissivity and good electrical conductivity.             
          As set forth in dependent claim 47 on appeal, the electrical                




                                          3
