using semiconductor devices in series with the load as final control devices (G05F1/461 takes precedence)

Introduced: September 1968

Title

Titles differ between systems:

IPC: using semiconductor devices in series with the load as final control devices

CPC: using semiconductor devices in series with the load as final control devices (G05F1/461 takes precedence)

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Automatic systems in which deviations of an electric quantity from one or more predetermined values are detected at the output of the system and fed back to a device within the system to restore the detected quantity to its predetermined value or values, i.e. retroactive systems > Regulating voltage or current > wherein the variable actually regulated by the final control device is DC > using semiconductor devices in series with the load as final control devices

CPC:

Automatic systems in which deviations of an electric quantity from one or more predetermined values are detected at the output of the system and fed back to a device within the system to restore the detected quantity to its predetermined value or values, i.e. retroactive systems > Regulating voltage or current (G05F1/02 takes precedence) > wherein the variable actually regulated by the final control device is DC (G05F1/625 takes precedence) > using semiconductor devices in series with the load as final control devices (G05F1/461 takes precedence)

Of 7 combined children, 5 exist in both systems.

2 codes are CPC-only extensions.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 1985.
