CPC Definition - Subclass G08C
This place covers:
In the context of transmission systems for remotely controlling devices where the transmission systems are for measured values, control signals or the like:
- processing signals, e.g. differentiating or delaying;
- details of transmission systems: multiplexing, electric wired, wireless link, nonelectric (e.g. acoustic or optical);
- systems for transmitting the position of an object with respect to a predetermined reference system, e.g. tele-autographic systems;
- monitoring, preventing or correcting errors.
Subclass H04B covers the transmission of information-carrying signals, in general, the transmission being independent of the nature of the information.
Subclass G08C refers to transmission systems specially adapted for measured values, control signals or the like.
Subclass H04L covers transmission of signals having been supplied in digital form and includes telegraphic communication.
