CAP. 60]
Import and Export (Strategic Commodities) Regulations
[1988 Ed.
[Subsidiary]
(e) Other input/output (I/O) control units;
(f) Recording or reproducing equipment referred to Item IL 1565 by Item IL 1572;
(g) Displays; or
(h) Other peripheral equipment.
N.B.
"Related equipment" which contains an "embedded" or "incorporated" electronic computer, but which lacks "user-accessible programmability", does not thereby fall within the definition of an electronic computer.
"signal processing"-
The processing of externally derived information-bearing signals by algorithms such as time compression, filtering, extraction, selection, correlation, convolution or transformations between domains (e.g. Fast Fourier Transform or Walsh Transform).
"software"
A collection of one or more “programmes" or "microprogrammes" fixed in any tangible medium of expression.
"stored-programme-controlled circuit switching"-
The technique for establishing, on demand and until released, a direct (space-division switching) or logical (time-division switching) connection between circuits based on switching control information derived from any source or circuit and processed according to the stored "programme" by one or more electronic computers.
"terminal device"-
A "data device" which:
(a) Does not include process control sensing and actuating devices; and
(b) Is capable of:
N.B.
(1) Accepting or producing a physical record;
(2) Accepting a manual input; or
(3) Producing a visual output.
Normal groupings of such equipment (e.g. a combination of paper tape punch/reader and printer), connected to a single data channel or "communication channel", shall be considered as a single "terminal device".
"total access rate" (Ratot)
The sum of the individual "access rates" of all input/output control unit-drum or disk drive combinations (Raa) provided with the system which can be sustained simultaneously assuming the configuration of equipment which would maximize this "total access rate”.
Thus: Ratot = SUM Raa
"total connected capacity"--
The storage capacity excluding error control bits, word marker bits, and flag bits.
"total data signalling rate"-
The sum of individual "data signalling rates" of all "communication channels" which:
(a) Have been provided with the system; and
(b) Can be sustained simultaneously assuming the configuration of the equipment which would maximize this sum of rates.
"total internal storage available to the user'
The sum of the individual capacities of all internal user-alterable or user-replaceable storage devices, which may be:
(a) Included in the equipment at the same time; and
(b) Used to store “software" instructions or data.
