DEFINITION
Classification: 198/437
(under subclass 436) Apparatus provided with means for detecting a condition of a conveyor system, or of the load carried by said system, or of the environment in which the system operates, and provided with means for regulating or changing the operation of said system, wherein said regulating means is actuated as a result of the detection of the condition by said detecting means.
(1) Note. The regulating may be for the purpose of maintaining the intended operating conditions, as by slight changes on either side of usual operation. The changing may be for the purpose of altering or correcting the operating conditions, such as would result from feedback of undesired operating conditions or discovery of the need for new or different operating conditions.
