Non-medical devices may include items such as a machine, cellphone, computer, application, etc."

Intersection

The intersection of the 2 constraint statements. This is what resource authors (either client or server) would need to conform to produce content valid against both implementation guides.

No intersection could be generated

Union

The union of the 2 constraint statements. This is what resource authors (either client or server) would need to be able to handle to accept content valid against either implementation guides.
