Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

  1. a..

    ‘Systolic array computers’;

  2. b..

    ‘Neural computers’;

  3. c..

    ‘Optical computers’.

Technical Notes:

1.F2For the purposes of 4A004.a., ‘systolicarray computers’ are computers where the flow and modification of the data is dynamically controllable at the logic gate level by the user.

2.F3For the purposes of 4A004.b., ‘neural computers’ are computational devices designed or modified to mimic the behaviour of a neuron or a collection of neurons, i.e., computational devices which are distinguished by their hardware capability to modulate the weights and numbers of the interconnections of a multiplicity of computational components based on previous data.

3.F4For the purposes of 4A004.c., ‘optical computers’ are computers designed or modified to use light to represent data and whose computational logic elements are based on directly coupled optical devices.
