(under the class definition) Device provided with a detector* for the product, a transmitter* and means to effect the functioning of at least a part of the device as direct or indirect result of the receipt by said means of a detected and transmitted signal or impulse.
(1) Note. In this and the indented subclass, that part of the device whose functioning is effected in response to the signal or impulse will be referred to as a "controlled apparatus".
(2) Note. For patents in which the functioning of a controlled apparatus is affected (e.g., varying the speed of the work or cutter, or changing the working conditions of the device) in response to deviations of an operating condition
of the device or a component thereof, as distinguished from response to product, see subclasses 72+.
(3) Note. For patents in which the controlled apparatus is a means to handle the cut product, see subclass 79.
