(under the class definition) Subject matter including systems and process for neutralizing a magnetic field.
(1) Note. This subclass includes, for example, processes for demagnetizing the hair springs of a watch, etc.
(2) Note. Where the demagnetizing is combined with the specific features of the art environment, the search should extend to the class which relates to the art environment.
