..... is regulated Export of Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies (SCOMET) listed below shall be permitted only against an export licence issued in this behalf unless export is prohibited or is permitted without licence subject to fulfillment of conditions, if any, as indicated under/against any specific category or item. Exporters are advised to refer to the relevant guidelines relating to the export of SCOMET items in the Handbook of Procedures (Vol.I), as issued from time to time. Glossary: Expressions used in the SCOMET List have the following meanings: "Accuracy" usually measured in terms of inaccuracy, means the maximum deviation, positive or negative, of an indicated value from an accepted standard or true value. "Active flight control systems" are systems that function to prevent undesirable "aircraft" and missile motions or structural loads by autonomously processing outputs from multiple sensors and then providing necessary preventive commands to effect automatic control. "Aircraft": A fixed wing, swivel wing, rotary wing (helicopter), tilt rotor or tilt-wing airborne vehicle. "Angular position deviation" means the maximum difference betwe .....

..... either monocrystalline or polycrystalline, of any length; f. Aromatic polyamide pulp. "Hybrid computer" means equipment which can perform all of the following: a. Accept data; b. Process data, in both analogue and digital representations; and c. Provide output of data. "Image enhancement" means the processing of externally derived information-bearing images by algorithms such as time compression, filtering, extraction, selection, correlation, convolution or transformations between domains (e.g., fast Fourier transform or Walsh transform). This does not include algorithms using only linear or rotational transformation of a single image, such as translation, feature extraction, registration or false coloration. "Information security" is all the means and functions ensuring the accessibility, confidentiality or integrity of information or communications, excluding the means and functions intended to safeguard against malfunctions. This includes cryptography, 'cryptanalysis', protection against compromising emanations and computer security. N.B.: 'Cryptanalysis': analysis of a cryptographic system or its inputs and outputs to derive confidential variables or sensitive data, in .....

..... d purposes or applications. Its properties may also make it suitable for purposes or applications other than those for which it was "modified." "Monofilament" or filament is the smallest increment of fibre, usually several micrometres in diameter. "Monolithic integrated circuit" means a combination of passive or active 'circuit elements' or both which: a. Are formed by means of diffusion processes, implantation processes or deposition processes in or on a single semiconducting piece of material, a so-called 'chip'; b. Can be considered as indivisibly associated; and c. Perform the function(s) of a circuit. N.B.: 'Circuit element' is a single active or passive functional part of an electronic circuit, such as one diode, one transistor, one resistor, one capacitor, etc. "Neural computer" means a computational device designed or modified to mimic the behaviour of a neuron or a collection of neurons, i.e., a computational device which is distinguished by its hardware capability to modulate the weights and numbers of the interconnections of a multiplicity of computational components based on previous data. "Numerical control" means the automatic control of a process performed by .....

..... mately parallel. "Settling time" means the time required for the output to come within one-half bit of the final value when switching between any two levels of the converter. "Signal processing" means the processing of externally derived information-bearing signals by algorithms such as time compression, filtering, extraction, selection, correlation, convolution or transformations between domains (e.g., fast Fourier transform or Walsh transform). "Software": A collection of one or more "programmes", or "micro-programmes", fixed in any tangible medium of expression. However, unless otherwise provided for against any item on the SCOMET List, the List does not control "software" which is either in the public domain or is generally available to the public by being : a. Sold from stock at retail selling points without restriction, by means of: 1. Over-the-counter transactions; 2. Mail order transactions; or 3. Telephone call transactions; and b. Designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier. "Space qualified": Products designed, manufactured and tested to meet the special electrical, mechanical or environmental requirements for use in .....

(Contrast with "specially designed" - see above). "Use" includes operation; installation (including on site installation); maintenance; repair; overhaul; refurbishing. "Vaccine" is a medicinal product in a pharmaceutical formulation licensed by, or having marketing or clinical trial authorisation from, the regulatory authorities of either the country of manufacture or of use, which is intended to stimulate a protective immunological response in humans or animals in order to prevent disease in those to whom or to which it is administered. "Yarn" is a bundle of twisted 'strands'. N.B.: 'Strand' is a bundle of "monofilaments" (typically over 200) arranged approximately parallel. Items on the SCOMET List are organised in the following categories. Category 0 Nuclear materials, nuclear-related other materials, equipment and technology 0A Prescribed Substances 0A1 So .....

..... e figure of merit K is defined as: K=1.7 x 103 V2.65Q. V is the peak electron energy in million electron volts. If the accelerator beam pulse duration is less than or equal to 1 µs, then Q is the total accelerated charge in Coulombs. If the accelerator beam pulse duration is greater than 1 µs, then Q is the maximum accelerated charge in 1 µs. Q equals the integral of i with respect to t, over the lesser of 1 µs or the time duration of the beam pulse ( Q=?idt ) where i is beam current in amperes and t is the time in seconds. 2. Peak power = (peak potential in volts) x (peak beam current in amperes). 3. In machines based on microwave accelerating cavities, the time duration of the beam pulse is the lesser of 1 µs or the duration of the bunched beam packet resulting from one microwave modulator pulse. 4. In machines based on microwave accelerating cavities, the peak beam current is the average current in the time duration of a bunched beam packet. 4B003 Multistage light gas guns or other high-velocity gun systems (coil, electromagnetic, and electrothermal types, and other advanced systems) capable of accelerating projectiles to 2 km/s or greater. 4B004 Mechanical rotating mirro .....

..... ; b. Arrangements using single or multiple detonators designed to nearly simultaneously initiate an explosive surface over an area greater than 5000 mm2 from a single firing signal with an initiation timing spread over the surface of less than 2.5 µs. Note: Item 4B008 does not control detonators using only primary explosives, such as lead azide. Technical Note: In Item 4B008 the detonators of concern all utilize a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire, or foil) that explosively vaporizes when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding conductor starts a chemical detonation in a contacting high-explosive material such as PETN (pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In slapper detonators, the explosive vaporization of the electrical conductor drives a flyer or slapper across a gap, and the impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven by magnetic force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an EB or a slapper-type detonator. Also, the word initiator is sometimes used in place of the word detonator. 4B009 Firing sets and equivalent high-current pulse ge .....
