SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - The shaker machines built by Data Physics Corp. and exported to China can rattle locomotives. Or they can rattle missiles.
What they're rattling is the central issue in the federal government's case against the San Jose company and its China sales manager, one that highlights the difficulty in regulating the export of so-called dual-use technologies — devices with both military and civilian applications.
Data Physics' Yueqiang "Bill" Chen faces up to 100 years in prison if convicted, and the Commerce Department is pursuing devastating civil penalties against the company itself.
