(under the class definition) Processes which include applications of electric, wave, ray or radiant energy to the work, other than radiant heat energy broadly recited.
(1) Note. Radiant heat energy broadly recited should not be placed in this subclass, but the limitation to particular wave lengths or wave bands should be placed herein.
(2) Note. The use of electric, wave, or radiant energy to destroy hazardous or toxic waste is found in Class 588, appropriate subclasses.
