(under subclass 43) Processes wherein the operation of the self-operated analyzer is controlled responsive to a sensed operating parameter or time sequence.
(1) Note. Control of industrial processes with feedback or feed-forward control of fluids to or from the process controlled do not belong in this class. They are classified with the appropriate synthesis class providing for the process.
