a "laser" is an assembly of components which produce both spatially and temporally coherent light which is amplified by stimulated emission of radiation;

"military propellants" means solid, liquid or gaseous substances or mixtures of substances used for propelling projectiles and missiles, or to generate gases for powering auxiliary devices for military equipment which, when ignited, burn or deflagrate to produce quantities of gas capable of performing work, but in their application these quantities are required not to undergo a deflagration to detonation transition;

"military pyrotechnics" means mixtures of solid or liquid fuels and oxidisers which, when ignited, undergo an energetic chemical reaction at a controlled rate intended to produce specific time delays, or quantities of heat, noise, smoke, visible light or infrared radiation; pyrophorics are a subclass of pyrotechnics, which contain no oxidisers but ignite spontaneously on contact with air;

"monoclonal antibodies" means proteins which bind to one antigenic site and are produced by a single clone of cells;

"nuclear reactor" means the items within or attached directly to the reactor vessel, the equipment which controls the level of power in the core, and the components which normally contain, come into direct contact with or control the primary coolant of the reactor core;

Table-Deposition Techniques-Technical Note

Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as follows:

a.Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or surface modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, composite, dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated substrate. Gaseous reactants are decomposed or combined in the vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired elemental, alloy or compound material on the substrate.

Energy for this decomposition or chemical reaction process may be provided by the heat of the substrate, a glow discharge plasma, or laser irradiation.

Notes:

b.Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapour Deposition (TE-PVD) is an overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less than 0·1Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize the coating material. This process results in the condensation, or deposition, of the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned substrates.

The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an ordinary modification of the process.

The use of ion or electron beams, or plasma, to activate or assist the coating's deposition is also a common modification in this technique. The use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thickness of coatings can be a feature of these processes.

Specific TE-PVD processes are as follows:

c.Ion plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD process in which a plasma or an ion source is used to ionize the species to be deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the substrate in order to facilitate the extraction of the species to be deposited from the plasma. The introduction of reactive species, evaporation of solids within the process chamber, and the use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thicknesses of coatings are ordinary modifications of the process.

d.Pack cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture (a pack), that consists of:

e.Plasma spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun (spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma accepts powder or wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a substrate, whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed. Plasma spraying constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high velocity plasma spraying carried out underwater.

Notes:

e.Slurry deposition is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting, subsequent air or oven drying, and heat treatment to obtain the desired coating.

g.Sputter deposition is an overlay coating process based on a momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive ions are accelerated by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating material). The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on an appropriately positioned substrate.

Notes:

h.Ion implantation is a surface modification coating process in which the element to be alloyed is ionized, accelerated through a potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the substrate. This includes processes in which ion implantation is performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapour deposition or sputter deposition.

Technical Note to Category 4

Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP)

Abbreviations used in this Technical Note

CE computing element (typically an arithmetic logical unit)

FP floating point

XP fixed point

t execution time

XOR exclusive OR

CPU central processing unit

TP theoretical performance (of a single CE)

CTP composite theoretical performance (multiple CEs)

R effective calculating rate

• Execution time `t' is expressed in microseconds, and CTP is expressed in Mtops (millions of theoretical operations per second). CTP is a measure of computational performance given in millions of theoretical operations per second (Mtops). In calculating the Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) of a configuration of computing elements (CEs) the following three steps are required:

  1.

  Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each CE;

  2.

  Apply the word length adjustment to this rate, resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP) for each CE. Select the maximum resulting value of TP;

  3.

  If there is more than one computing element, combine the TPs resulting in a Composite Theoretical Performance for the configuration.

  Note: This aggregation should not be applied to computers connected through a local area network not specified in entry 5A001.

The following table shows the method of calculating the effective calculating rate (R) for each computing element:

Note X:

For CEs which perform multiple arithmetic operations of a specific type in a single cycle (e.g., two additions per cycle), the execution time t is given by:

CEs which perform different types of arithmetic operations in a single machine cycle are to be treated as multiple separate CEs performing simultaneously (e.g., a CE performing an addition and a multiplication in one cycle is to be treated as two CEs, the first performing an addition in one cycle and the second performing a multiplication in one cycle).

If a single CE has both scalar function and vector function, use larger value.

Note Y:

If no FP add or FP multiply are implemented, but the CE performs FP divide:

If the divide is not implemented, the fp reciprocal should be used. If none of the specified instruction is implemented, the effective FP rate is 0.

Note Z:

In simple logic operations, a single instruction performs a single logic manipulation of no more than two operands of given lengths. In complex logic operations, a single instruction performs multiple logic manipulations to produce one or more results from two or more operands. Rates should be calculated for all supported operand lengths, using the fastest executing instruction for each operand length based on:

1.Register-to-register. Exclude extraordinarily short execution times generated for operations on a predetermined operand or operands (for example, multiplication by 0 or 1). If no register-to-register operations are implemented, continue with 2.

2.The faster of register-to-memory or memory-to-register operations; if these also do not exist, then continue with 3.

3.Memory-to-memory. In each case above, use the shortest execution time certified by the manufacturer.

TP for each supported operand length WL

Adjust the effective rate R (or R") by the word length adjustment L as follows:

Note:

The word length WL used in these calculations is the operand length in bits. (If an operation uses operands of different lengths, select the largest word length.)

This adjustment is not applied to specialized logic processors which do not use XOR instructions. In this case TP = R.

Select the maximum resulting value of TP for:

Each XP-only CE (Rxp;);

Each FP-only CE (Rfp;);

Each combined FP and XP CE (R);

Each simple logic processor not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations; and

Each special logic processor not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations.

CTP for CPUs and aggregations of CEs

• For a CPU with a single CE,

• CTP = TP

• (for CEs performing both fixed and floating point operations TP = max (TPfp;, TPxp;))

• For aggregations of multiple CEs operating simultaneously:

• Note 1:For configurations which do not allow all of the CEs to run simultaneously, the configuration of permissible CEs that provides the largest CTP should be used. The TP of each contributing CE is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the CTP of the combination is derived.

• Note 2:A single integrated circuit chip or board assembly may contain multiple CEs.

• Note 3:Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer.

  CTP = TP1 + C2&TP2 + . . . + Cn&TPn,

  where

  • TP₁ is the highest of the TPs, and C_i is a coefficient determined by the strength of the interconnection between CEs, as follows:

For multiple CEs sharing memory:

Note:CEs share memory if they access a common segment of solid state memory. This memory may include cache storage, main storage, or other internal memory. Peripheral memory devices such as disk drives, tape drives or RAM disks are not included.

For multiple CEs not sharing memory, interconnected by one or more data channels:

Note: This does not include channels dedicated to transfers between one individual processor and its most immediate memory or related equipment.

WL_i is the operand length for which TP_i was obtained, and the factor 8 normalizes S_i (measured in bytes per second) and WL (given in bits).

The Export of Goods (Control) Order 1991(65)

The Export of Goods (Control) (Amendment) Order 1992(66)

The Export of Goods (Control) (Amendment No.2) Order 1992(67)

The Export of Goods (Control) (Amendment No.3) Order 1992(68)

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes and replaces the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1991 (the "EGCO 1991") and the amendments thereto. The changes (apart from minor drafting changes) it effects are as follows:-

The lists in Groups 2 and 3 of Part III (the "new lists") are in a new format. The goods specified in these lists have been specified under international arrangements in COCOM and other groups, as goods which should be subject to export controls. The new lists have been largely prepared in consultations with technical experts from Member States of the European Communities with a view to the Member States operating export controls on commonly described nuclear and dual use goods. They have been prepared following the publication of a Commission proposal for a Regulation in relation to such goods (O.J.C253 30.9.92 p.13). A few entries have been included which have not, at the time of making of this Order, been considered by the said experts:

2. Export control is relaxed in relation to certain dual use goods as follows:

Ceramic base materials, fluorinated compounds and non-fluorinated polymeric components (see Category 1 of Group 3 of Schedule 1) ("Group 3").

Some machine tools, inspection machines, robots and bearings (see Category 2).

DRAM's (controls are lifted), many electronic components, some vacuum tubes, basic materials and semiconductor manufacturing equipment (see Category 3).

Many types of computers and peripherals (see Category 4).

Digital cellular telephone systems, data packet switches and multimode optical fibre systems (controls are lifted) (see Category 5).

Some sensors and lenses (see Category 6).

Some submersibles, hovercraft, pumpjet systems, underwater TV systems and some manipulators (see Category 8).

Certified gas turbine engines for civil aircraft (controls are lifted), civil aircraft (see Category 9).

3. Export controls are extended to-

(a)certain dual use goods for nuclear facilities and technology relating to them: those entries in Group 3 with numbers having a`2' in the third position e.g., 1C216 to all destinations

(b)the following human and animal pathogens and chemical plant and biological equipment and technology relating to them to all destinations: entries in Group 3 numbered 1C351, 1C352, 1C353, 2B350, 2B351, 2B352, 1E001, 2E001 and 2E002.

4.-(a) Compared to the list in Schedule 1 Part II of the EGCO 1991, the format and classification system for entries in the new lists has been changed. These changes are intended, where possible, to place controls on similar goods close to one another in the lists, and to enable changes to be made to the lists easily in future.

(b)In the new lists goods are now specified by reference to a Category, sub-Category, Entry, head or sub-head. An example from the controls to illustrate this is 3A001a.4., where 3 is the Category, A is the sub-Category, 001 is the entry, a. is the head and 4 is the sub-head.

(c)The PL entries from the EGCO 1991 have been moved, in some cases with modification, as follows:

(d)The structure of the new lists combined with the lifting of controls on many goods means that it is not practical to correlate and note all the controls with prefix IL in the EGCO 1991 list with the new lists. However, the changes have included moving certain of those controls into the Categories of Group 3 of the new list as follows:

(e)Group 2 of the new list has been renumbered and its contents restricted principally to items specially designed for use in the nuclear industry. Most nuclear items that have other uses are included in Group 3 of the new list as dual use industrial items.

5. The controls on the export of firearms (see Article 3) have been changed as a result of the Firearms Acts (Amendment) Regulations 1992 (1992/2823) and to implement Council Directive 91/477/EEC.

6. Persons who export under an Open General export Licence henceforth will, unless the licence states to the contrary, be required to register with the DTI before, or soon after doing so (see Article 8), and to keep records for a specified period.

7. Copies of the standards and recommendations referred to in this Order may be obtained from or through the British Standards Institution (BSI) at 3 Linford Wood, Milton Keynes, MK14 6LE, other than the ICAO and TCSEC standards mentioned at entries 5A001f., 5A002 and 6A008f., which may be obtained from the ICAO at 1000 Sherbrooke Street, Suite 400, Montreal, Canada H3A 2RZ, and the TCSEC, Technical Guidelines Division, National Computer Security Center, Ft. George G. Meade MD 20755-�6000, U.S.A, respectively.

8. By way of assistance to the reader, and for convenience only, certain defined terms have been highlighted in Part III of Schedule 1 in bold type, and an index thereto, technical notes and certain cross-references have been included. These should not be treated as comprehensive.

9. Any particular goods may fall within more than one description in Schedule 1 to the Order. In such a case each prohibition (taking effect by such inclusion in that Schedule and the related provisions of article 2) applies to the export of the goods. This may mean that different entries prohibit the export of the goods to different countries.
