I realize this seems obvious, but is "theme code" really used in American patents? The code under this is 4B024

Is it possibly called "subject code" or something else? I'd just appreciate confirmation.
thank you.

Explanation:
The F-Term System is not a classification system per se. Instead of indicating what an invention is, it indicates what technologies contribute to the invention.
