DEFINITION

Classification: 73/504.01

Angular rate using wave or beam motion (e.g., Sagnac type):

(under subclass 488) Subject matter including means producing a wave or a beam and wherein the wave or beam is propagated about an axis of rotation and the determination of the time rate of change in position of the body is made by measuring a parameter (e.g., phase) of the wave or beam.

(1) Note. The waves of this subclass includes acoustic, electron, entropy, ionic, electromagnetic waves, or microwaves.
