- Class:
- COMPUTING OR CALCULATING; COUNTING
Description
G06 encompasses apparatus and methods for computing, calculating, and counting functions across analog, digital, and hybrid systems. This class covers foundational computing technologies including mechanical calculators, electronic computers, data processing equipment, and specialized computing devices used for mathematical operations and numerical analysis. The classification includes both the physical hardware components and operational principles underlying computational systems, spanning from basic arithmetic devices to complex processing architectures. Adjacent classes address specific computing applications (such as G07 for checking/signaling devices and G11 for information storage), whereas G06 focuses on the core computing and calculation mechanisms themselves.
