3 Files 2 and 3 only; dates of patent coverage are 1969-1976.

4 Available for conference proceedings and books only.

5 Search field includes journal title words and volume and issue numbers. Display varies depending on document type.

6 Not available in File 213.

7 Role modifiers include: EL (element), DOP (dopant), BIN (binary system) SS (system with 3 or more components), INT (interface system), SUR (surface or substrate), ADS (adsorbate, or any sorbate, i.e., species being adsorbed onto a substrate).

8 Numeric data for each physical quantity (temperature, pressure, frequency, etc.) are indexed into a separate numeric field (TE=, PR=, FR=, etc.). In the record display, numeric values appear in an exponential floating point format, e.g., FR=2.5E04.

9 Truncation is not allowed when searching numeric data. Range searching is recommended for best results, e.g., S FR=25000:30000. The smallest and largest numbers that may be searched are 5.4E-79 and 7.2E+75. For specifying precise minimum or maximum numeric values, the LO= and HI= search prefixes may be used. LO= and HI= are generic prefixes not specific to any physical quantity. Searches using LO= and HI= should be qualified with the addition of the desired physical quantity using the NI= prefix.

10 Each physical quantity and its corresponding abbreviated unit of measure are optionally searchable using NI=.

The database Bluesheet indicates whether a field is phrase-indexed (e.g., the complete phrase is indexed following the prefix code) or word-indexed (e.g., individual words are indexed and searchable with logical and proximity operators), or both.

When word-indexed terms are searched using a prefix code, the terms must be enclosed in parentheses (e.g., CS=(frontier(w)communications) for corporate source)
