Appeal No. 95-1545
Application 07/842,329
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from
the examiner's final rejection of claims 1-6, 8-11 and 13-15,
the only claims remaining in the application. We reverse.
The Claimed Subject Matter
The claims on appeal are directed to a composite
electrode comprising a non-conductive matrix containing
metallic particles and metal salt particles on a solid non-
conducting substrate. The salt particles and metallic
particles form a gradient in the matrix wherein the ratio of
metal particles to salt particles gradually increases from the
outer surface to the inner surface of the non-conductive
matrix. Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed subject
matter:
1. A composite electrode comprising:
a solid non-conducting substrate;
metallic particles;
a non-conductive matrix layer in which
the metallic particles are incorporated,
and
insoluble metal salt particles which
are of the same metal as the metallic
particles, which are incorporated in said
non-conductive matrix and which are
accessible to reactions with
