SECTION G– PHYSICS

G 03

PHOTOGRAPHY; CINEMATOGRAPHY; ANALOGOUS TECHNIQUES USING WAVES OTHER THAN OPTICAL WAVES; ELECTROGRAPHY; HOLOGRAPHY (reproduction of pictures or patterns by scanning and converting into electrical signals H 04 N) [4]

Note

In this class, the following terms are used with the meaning indicated:

–

"records" means photographs or any other kind of latent, directly-visible or permanent storage of pictorial information, which consist of an imagewise distribution of a quantity, e.g. an electric charge pattern, recorded on a carrier member;

–

"optical" applies not only to visible light but also to ultra-violet or infra-red radiations. [4]

G 03 B

APPARATUS OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OR FOR PROJECTING OR VIEWING THEM; APPARATUS OR ARRANGEMENTS EMPLOYING ANALOGOUS TECHNIQUES USING WAVES OTHER THAN OPTICAL WAVES; ACCESSORIES THEREFOR (optical parts of such apparatus G 02 B; photosensitive materials or processes for photographic purposes G 03 C; apparatus for processing exposed photographic materials G 03 D) [4]

G 03 C

PHOTOSENSITIVE MATERIALS FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PURPOSES (for photomechanical purposes G 03 F); PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES, e.g. CINE, X-RAY, COLOUR, STEREO-PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES; AUXILIARY PROCESSES IN PHOTOGRAPHY (photographic processes characterised by the use or manipulation of apparatus classifiable per se in subclass G 03 B, see G 03 B; photomechanical production of textured or patterned surfaces G 03 F; electrography, electrophotography, magnetography G 03 G)

G 03 D

APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING EXPOSED PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS (apparatus specially adapted for photomechanical production of textured or patterned surfaces G 03 F); ACCESSORIES THEREFOR (photosensitive materials or processes for photographic purposes G 03 C; electrographic, electrophotographic, or magnetographic methods or apparatus G 03 G)
