(1) Note. The laser is a device for generating a very narrow, intense beam of coherent light. The name is derived from the initial letters of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." In the emission of ordinary light, the molecules or atoms of the source emit their radiation independently of each other, and consequently there is no definite phase relationship among the vibrations in the resultant beam. The light is incoherent. The laser, by means of an optical resonator, focuses the atoms of the material within the resonator, to radiate in phase. The emitted radiation is stimulated by the excitation of atoms to a higher energy level by means of energy supplied to the device.

(1) Note. Light sources of the type provided for in this subclass and the subclasses indented hereunder are usually recited as "tubular," "elongated," "linear," "cylindrical," and "extended." In all other cases, the elongated nature of the light source must be implied by the claims themselves or necessarily imputed from the claimed disclosure in order to render the claimed combination structurally complete and operative for the functions referred to in the claim. For example, "means to support a pair of fluorescent lamps" is sufficient basis for placement in this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder even though fluorescent lamps are often elongated since the word "fluorescent" itself does not imply length. On the other hand, "means to support a pair of lamps parallel to each other" is sufficient basis for placement in this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder since the word "parallel" implies that the lamps have length.

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Subject matter comprising combinations not elsewhere provided for of basic subject matter of the class, including subcombinations thereof, with additional means whose proximate function in the combination does not contribute to the efficacy (i.e., intended proximate function) of the class type subject matter.

(1) Note. This subclass constitutes the residual locus for the combination of illuminating means with the object being illuminated. For example, the combinations of a light source and a modifier bearing locomotive identification numbers are classified here since, even though the modifier is class type subject matter, the function of the indicia is, primarily, to express information about the locomotive and only secondarily to modify the light from the source by altering its distribution. Mere combinations, however, of light sources and colored lenses, for example, to be used as signaling means are not classified here since such combinations only constitute basic subject matter of the class. Also, combinations of illuminating means and signalling means which conveys information about the illuminating means are not classified here since the proximate function for the signaling means (i.e., to convey information) contributes to the efficacy of the illuminating means.

257	LIGHT SOURCE (OR SUPPORT THEREFOR) AND MODIFIER:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Subject matter comprised of a light source (see Glossary, "Light Source") or support therefor and a modifier (see Glossary, "Light Modifier") structurally related to the light source so as to modify light therefrom.

(1) Note. Nominal recitations of a light unit (e.g., "light unit," "headlight," "lamp") generally imply only a source of light and are insufficient basis for placement in this subclass and the subclasses indented hereunder unless a light source and a light modifier must be imputed from the claimed disclosure to render the claimed combination structurally complete and operative for the functions referred to in the claim.

(2) Note. Light sources having light modifying envelopes are not classifiable, per se, in this class (362). (For the loci of such subject matter, see the search class notes below). However, combinations of such light sources with additional modifying means are classifiable in this subclass and the subclasses indented hereunder.

(1) Note. The line between Class 191, Electricity: Transmission to Vehicles, Class 362, Illumination, and Class 242, Winding, Tensioning, or Guiding is as follows: A claim including an in name only lamp combined with a flexible extension cord to deliver electrical energy to the lamp and a cord storage device to store the cord is in Class 191, subclasses 12+. Class 362 will take a claim to illumination structure beyond a nominal recitation of a lamp, or light unit.

This subclass is indented under subclass 257. Subject matter having a means (e.g., gasket) filling the space between two adjacent elements to prevent matter on one side of the elements from passing between them to the other side or having a gas other than air in contact, at least in part, with the source, support therefor, or modifier.

(1) Note. Mere recitation of a "sealed" light source (or support therefor) and modifier (e.g., "sealed-beam head lamp") is insufficient basis for classification in this subclass if the sealing means itself is not recited.

268	. Plural serial lens elements or components:

This subclass is indented under subclass 257. Subject matter including a plurality of lens elements or lens components for concentrating or spreading a light beam.

(1) Note. The term "component" as applied to a lens designates either a single transparent mass of refractive material having two opposed refracting surfaces or a grouped plurality of such masses arranged in series along the optical axis of the lens with their adjacent refracting surfaces either in full over all contact or in spaced parallel relation with the spacing being of such small magnitude that it does not enter into the lens computations; the two refracting surfaces of the single mass and the two axially extreme refracting surfaces of the plurality of masses having at least a portion thereof axially air spaced from all other adjacent refracting surfaces that may be present in the lens. The axial dimension of the air spacing between either the opposed surfaces of the single mass or the axially extreme surfaces of the grouped plurality of masses and the other adjacent refracting surfaces that may be present in the lens must be of sufficient magnitude to enter into the lens computations in order to limit the axial extent of the lens component.

(2) Note. The term "element" as applied to a lens designates any single transparent mass of refractive material having two opposed refracting surfaces, which surfaces are disposed transversely of the optical axis of the lens and spaced there along; i.e., any one of the masses in the above component definition regardless of its spacing from adjacent refracting surfaces that may be present in the lens.

This subclass is indented under subclass 257. Subject matter wherein the light source (or support therefor) and modifier are structurally related by a common support having means to permit the light source (or support therefor) and modifier to assume two different positions about an axis without moving with respect to each other.

(1) Note. The recitation of a "sealed-beam headlight" is considered a nominal recitation of a light source and the combination of a "sealed beam headlight" and a tiltable or rotatable supporting means is therefore not classified in this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder if no light modifier is recited in the combination. Such combinations are classified elsewhere and cross-referenced to this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder.

(2) Note. Light units which are held in one position by resilient means are not classifiable in this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder merely because an outside force acting against the resilient means can rotate or tilt the unit temporarily to a second position. The second position is not considered "assumed" since it lasts only as long as the outside force is applied.

(1) Note. Light units mounted for universal movement are classifiable here; such means may include resilient positioning means urging the unit in one direction against a stop which prohibits movement in that direction but still allows tilting or rotating of the unit caused by, for example, a movement acting on the unit.

276	. Condition responsive:

This subclass is indented under subclass 257. Subject matter with or including means which continuously senses a variable incident force or energy field and which varies or maintains the distribution, composition or intensity of light from the source or modifier in response to changes in the sensed force or energy.

(2) Note. The line between this class, subclasses 382+ and Classes 248, Supports and 439, Electrical Connectors, is as follows: Class 362, subclasses 382+ takes any combination of a support with significant structure of a light source or a light source support having structural features limited to use with the light source. Class 248 takes supporting structure, per se. The mere naming of a light source, as in the preamble of a claim or in any other way which does not positively include it as an element of the claim, will not operate to take the claim out of Class 248 unless the support itself is an essential part of the light source or has no obvious utility as a support in some other art classes. See Class 248 definitions, (2) Note, for lines between this class (362) and Class 248. Class 439 takes an electrical connector, per se. The mere recitation in a claim of a light source, which is not claimed as being connected to or mounted in the electrical connector, will generally not operate to take the claim out of Class 439. If an electrical connector in name only is claimed with supporting means which is not limited in use to a Class 362 light source, the claim is classifiable in Class 439. A detailed electrical connector (e.g., a claimed contact) with or without a support therefor, claimed with a light source in name only is classifiable in Class 439. If a detailed electrical connector is combined with a support which has structural features limiting the combination to use with a claimed light source, even if claimed in name only, the claim is classifiable in Class 362. See Class 439 definition, section III (1) and (2) for lines between this class (362) and Class 439.
