G 101

[Subsidiary]

Note:

The embargo status of these "digital computers" and "related equipment" therefor is governed by the appropriate Item provided:

(a) They are "embedded" in other equipment or systems;

(b) The other equipment or systems are described in other Items in these Lists; and

(c) The technology for these "digital computers" and "related equipment" is governed by sub-item (j) below.

(1) Including "digital computers" and "related equipment", as follows:

(i) Designed or modified for:

Note:

"Digital computers" and "related equipment" containing equipment, devices or logic control for the following functions are also included, (a) "Signal processing";

(b) "Image enhancement;

(e) "Local area networks"

Note:

For the purpose of this sub-item, data communication systems when located within a single piece of equipment (e.g. television set, car), are not considered to be designed or modified for "local area networks".

(d) "Multi-data-stream processing";

Note:

For the purpose of this sub-item, "digital computers" and "related equipment" are not considered to be designed or modified for "multi-data-stream processing", if they:

(a) Utilize staged (pipelined) instruction interpretation for conventional single instruction—single data sequence processing; or

Have an arithmetic unit implemented with bit-slice microprocessor microcircuits.

(e) Combined recognition, understanding and interpretation of image, continuous (connected) speech or connected word text other than "signal processing" or "image enhancement" described in sub-item (h)(1)(i)(a) or (b);

(f) "Real time processing" of sensor data:

(b) Freed from embargo by the two year limit in Item IL 1501(c)(2)(vii).

(g) Microprocessor or microcomputer development systems;

Note:

For microprocessor or microcomputer development systems, see Item IL 1529(b)(6)(ii).

(h) "Fault tolerance";

Note:

For the purpose of this sub-item, "digital computers" and "related equipment" are not considered to be designed or modified for "fault tolerance", if they utilize:
