Paragraph Number

82

"Mode" refers to a state of operation for a circuit, sub-circuit, circuitry, electronic component, hardware, software, firmware, module, logic, device, button, lever, or apparatus. When a mode is activated the circuit, sub-circuit, circuitry, electronic component, hardware, software, firmware, module, logic, device, or apparatus may perform one or more set of functions that are different from when the mode is not activated. Often "mode" is used with a modifier describing and differentiating one mode or operating state from another, for example an "operating mode" relates to a mode of operation, a "calibration mode" relates to a mode of calibrating, a "distance mode" relates to distance operations, and an "angle mode" relates to angles. "Switch" refers to a circuit, sub-circuit, circuitry, electronic component, hardware, software, firmware, module, logic, device, button, lever, or apparatus configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to close an electronic circuit and/or couple one electronic component or circuit with another. In one embodiment, the switch is configured to send a signal to another electronic component when the switch is activated ("closed").
