DEFINITION

Classification: 204/472

With control responsive to sensed condition:

(under subclass 471) Process in which the coating or forming is regulated by detecting a characteristic or a change in a characteristic of the process and by implementing an action in the process based upon the detected characteristic or change therein.

(1) Note. In this subclass and the subclasses indented hereunder a single means may be used both to detect a characteristic or a change in a characteristic of the process and to implement an action in the process based upon the detected characteristic or change therein. There must be a positive action made by a control means because of the detected characteristic or change therein.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

480+, for electrophoretic coating or forming of an object involving regeneration or replenishment of the coating bath but without control directly responsive to a sensed condition.

519, for electrophoretic or electro-osmotic barrier separation with control responsive to sensed condition.
