Thank you Jaytor, that is extremely helpful. I had not read it previously. It may be seen to settle the question I put.
I have read the patent. It relates to a methodology of adjusting the bias current in response to measured changes in current flowing in the load.
At no point does the patent claim the bias adjustment can be triggered so fast that when a sudden high current event occurs, that event can be presented in either pure Class A or employing a higher bias current than that being employed immediately prior to the occurrence of the event.
The system can adjust the bias in quite complex ways but it cannot provide a raised bias current in time to catch sudden dynamic increases in the programme.
Such effect is advantageous to SQ and can only be achieved by running full-time in Class A.
I am satisfied the natural order is restored. The application should not have been described by some as 'anticipator circuits'. That would entail time travel.
