Additional Content IPC

Limiting references

Graph-reading or converting the pattern of mechanical parameters, e.g. force or presence, into electrical signals combined with character or pattern recognition ,

Application references

Feelers for copying devices on machine tools Hand-held input or output devices for transferring data to be processed into a form capable of being handled by a digital computer, e.g. light-pens, joysticks, mice, or trackballs Systems for transmitting the position of an object with respect to a predetermined reference system, e.g. tele-autographic system

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.
