24-43; column 5, lines 28-45); The encapsulating material is
described as a highly reflective low emissivity material which is
resistant to deterioration at high temperatures of 1000EF. Nickel,
rhodium, tantalum, rhenium and cobalt are representative of this
material.
b. in the same environment of less than atmospheric pressure as in
step (a), solidifying the material to form thereby an encapsulated
article (column 4, lines 13-16; column 5, lines 41-44);
2. wherein the article comprises at least one chamber enclosed by a
solid, encapsulating material, i.e., continuous layer, in which
a. the pressure inside of the at least one chamber has a vacuum
characteristic of being less than atmospheric pressure (column 2,
lines 7-10, 16-30, and 63-68; column 3, lines 1-13; column 4, lines
3-10; column 5, lines 37-53);
b. the encapsulating material has sufficient strength to remain on the at
least one chamber (column 3, lines 25-43).
