'Basic scientific research'
Experimental or theoretical work undertaken principally to acquire new knowledge of the fundamental principles of phenomena or observable facts, not primarily directed towards a specific practical aim or objective.
'Development'
'Development' is related to all phases before 'production' such as:
. design
. design research
. design analysis
. design concepts
. assembly of prototypes
. pilot production schemes
. design data
. process or transforming design data into a product
. configuration design
. integration design
. layouts
'Export'
An actual shipment or transmission of AG-controlled items out of the country. This includes transmission of ‘technology’ by electronic media, fax or telephone.
'in the public domain'
'In the public domain', as it applies herein, means ‘technology’ or ‘software’ that has been made available without restrictions upon its further dissemination. (Copyright restrictions do not remove ‘technology’ or software from being in the ‘public domain’).
‘Microprogramme’
A sequence of elementary instructions maintained in a special storage, the execution of which is initiated by the introduction of its reference instruction register.
'Production'
‘Production’ means all production phases such as:
. construction
. production engineering
. manufacture
. integration
. assembly (mounting)
. inspection
. testing
. quality assurance
‘Programme’
A sequence of instructions to carry out a process in, or convertible into, a form executable by an electronic computer.
‘Software’
A collection of one or more ‘programmes’ or ‘microprogrammes’ fixed in any tangible medium of expression.
'Technology'
Specific information necessary for the 'development', 'production' or 'use' of a product. The information takes the form of 'technical data' or 'technical assistance'.
'Technical assistance'
May take forms, such as: instruction, skills, training, working knowledge, consulting services. ‘Technical assistance’ includes oral forms of assistance. ‘Technical assistance’ may involve transfer of 'technical data'.
'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.
'Use'
Operation, installation (including on-site installation), maintenance (checking), repair, overhaul or refurbishing.
