Interference No. 103,036
Q. Now, within the context of the type of
tester that was applied in the batteries in
your declaration where there is a scale,
could one compensate by condensing the scale
of the sensor to compensate for some
heatsinking effects?
A. I don't understand what you mean by
compensating the scale or condensing the
scale. Can you clarify that?
Q. If one were to reduce the scale of the
sensor so that it was measuring less of a
difference from the lowest level to the
highest level, could such a reduced scale of
sensor compensate for the heatsinking effects
that you talk about with regard to the second
group of materials?
A. If I understand the intent of your
question, you're looking at condensing the
scale to make it more like a -- just an
on/off, good/bad, one or the other?
Q. It's going in that direction, yes.
A. The device could be designed that way if
you so desired it to work that way. I don't
think that there's a practical use if the
scale would be condensed, but that's my
opinion.
Q. What are other variables that would
affect the reading on the thermal indicator
that your tested? For example, would the
electrical resistance of the heating element
have an effect?
A. The electrical resistance of the heating
element, the design of the taper of the
element itself creating the -- controlling
the current flow through the resistive -- or
the conductive element of the tester, that
will have an effect.
