(under subclass 445) Subject matter, (1) in which the sensing means are provided with means which respond to two or more conditions, one or more of which are diverse in type or
character than one or more others of the conditions or (2) in which means are employed for sensing one or more conditions, diverse or otherwise, in combination with means for delaying or retarding the operation of the sensing means or the control means after control thereof has been initiated by the sensing means.
(1) Note. The magnitude of a condition (e.g., 40-volts) and the rate-of-change (e.g., 1 volt per second) of a condition are considered plural, diverse conditions for purpose of classification herein. Two magnitudes of a different order of the same condition (e.g., 40-volts and 60-volts) are not considered plural diverse conditions for purposes of classification herein.
(2) Note. Automatic starting of a motor in response to one condition and stopping in response to different kind of condition is included herein, for example.
(3) Note. The sensing means which responds to two or more diverse conditions may comprise either separate means one of which responds to one condition and another of which responds to another condition, or a single means which is simultaneously responsive to diverse conditions (e.g., an electromagnet having the winding made of a thermally responsive material, such as iron wire, which is inherently responsive to voltage or current and also temperature).
