ANALOGUE COMPUTERS (analogue optical computing devices G06E3/00)

Description

G06G covers analogue computing devices and systems that process continuous physical quantities (such as voltage, current, mechanical displacement, or fluid pressure) to perform mathematical operations and solve problems. This subclass encompasses analogue computers using electronic circuits, mechanical components, or hybrid technologies for applications including differential equation solving, simulation, control systems, and scientific computation. The classification excludes digital computers (G06F) and hybrid systems primarily classified elsewhere, focusing instead on machines where the computation directly represents mathematical relationships through proportional physical phenomena.
