(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein a controlling means is a nonlinear device, circuit, or system which specifically controls the delivery of current or power to a load device connected to its output terminal in response to a control signal applied to its input terminal.
(1) Note. A load device as included in this subclass may include any load which is so broadly claimed as not to restrict the system to any specific class or subclass. Where a specific load device is claimed, classification will be in the particular class wherein the art device comprising the
specific load device is to be found.
(2) Note. Systems not especially concerned with the delivery of current or power to the load device, but concerned instead with the control of a circuit parameter such as phase, frequency, or amplitude are excluded from this subclass.

415, for means whereby a single input appearing over a single channel is selectively switched to a plurality of output channels.
