Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 72 words
A remote-control power source switching circuit comprising a transistor having the collector and emitter thereof connected between a DC power source and a load, a bias circuit for forward biasing said transistor thereby rendering it normally conductive said transistor normally functioning as a voltage regulator and a remote-control circuit for shorting said bias circuit, wherein said bias circuit is controlled by operating said remote-control circuit, so that said transistor is ''''on-off'''' controlled.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 72 words
A remote-control power source switching circuit comprising a transistor having the collector and emitter thereof connected between a DC power source and a load, a bias circuit for forward biasing said transistor thereby rendering it normally conductive said transistor normally functioning as a voltage regulator and a remote-control circuit for shorting said bias circuit, wherein said bias circuit is controlled by operating said remote-control circuit, so that said transistor is ''''on-off'''' controlled.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 72 words
A remote-control power source switching circuit comprising a transistor having the collector and emitter thereof connected between a DC power source and a load, a bias circuit for forward biasing said transistor thereby rendering it normally conductive said transistor normally functioning as a voltage regulator and a remote-control circuit for shorting said bias circuit, wherein said bias circuit is controlled by operating said remote-control circuit, so that said transistor is ''''on-off'''' controlled.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 72 words
A remote-control power source switching circuit comprising a transistor having the collector and emitter thereof connected between a DC power source and a load, a bias circuit for forward biasing said transistor thereby rendering it normally conductive said transistor normally functioning as a voltage regulator and a remote-control circuit for shorting said bias circuit, wherein said bias circuit is controlled by operating said remote-control circuit, so that said transistor is ''''on-off'''' controlled.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
A remote-control power source switching circuit according to claim 1, wherein said bias circuit is provided with a circuit for controlling the conduction of said transistor by detecting a voltage imparted to the load.
