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 devia .....

"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 conf .....

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 aut ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... s" (typically over 200) arranged approximately 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.

There is no requirement that the equipment, parts, components, technology or "software" should have been configured, modified or specified for that particular purpose. (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.
