(under subclass 107) Oscillators in which the active element consists of a device of electronic conducting, semi-conductive material utilizing the current amplification properties of the material, which device has three or more electrodes.
(1) Note. If an oscillator system involving an active solid state device or integrated circuit is claimed, nominally or in detail, then it is properly classified in Class 331, whereas if an oscillator system is not claimed or a subcombination thereof which involves an active solid state device is claimed, and is not elsewhere classifiable, then they are properly classified in Class 257.
