DEFINITION

Classification: 409/15

With control means energized in response to activator stimulated by condition sensor:

(under subclass 11) Apparatus including means for: (a) detecting any of the following characteristics; a state or property, a change in a state or property, or the occurrence of a predetermined event in any of the following: the workpiece, the product of the apparatus, the apparatus itself, or the environment of the apparatus affecting the

operation thereof; and (b) initating (as a direct result of that detection) a signal other than that generated or transmitted by the detected means, and (c) regulating or modifying (as a direct result of said initiation) the operation of the means to affect the cutting.

(1) Note. The activator (or initiating means) of this subclass serves to trigger a source of energy other than energy of the sensed condition.
