A collection of one or more “programmes” or “microprogrammes” fixed in any tangible medium of expression.

“Solidify rapidly”

A process involving the solidification of molten material at cooling rates exceeding 1,000 K/sec.

“Space qualified”

Products designed, manufactured and tested to meet the special electrical, mechanical or environmental requirements for use in the launch and deployment of satellites or high altitude flight systems operating at altitudes of 100 km or higher.

“Superconductive”

Refers to materials, (i.e., metals, alloys or compounds) which can lose all electrical resistance (i.e., which can attain infinite electrical conductivity and carry very large electrical currents without Joule heating).

Technical Note

The “superconductive” state of a material is individually characterised by a “critical temperature”, a critical magnetic field, which is a function of temperature, and a critical current density which is, however, a function of both magnetic field and temperature.

“Tear gases”

Gases which produce temporary irritating or disabling effects which disappear within minutes of removal from exposure.

“Technology”

Specific information necessary for the “development”, “production” or “use” or a product. The information takes the form of technical data or technical assistance. Controlled “technology” is defined in the General Technology Note.

Technical Notes

1. ‘Technical data’ may take forms such as blueprints, plans, diagrams, models, formulae, tables, engineering designs and specifications, manuals and instructions written or recorded on other media or devices such as disk, tape, read-only memories.

2. ‘Technical assistance’ may take forms such as instruction, skills, training, working knowledge, consulting services. ‘Technical assistance’ may involve transfer of ‘technical data’.

“Use”

Operation, installation (including on-site installation), maintenance (checking), repair, overhaul and refurbishing.
