TABLE - DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES - TECHNICAL NOTE
Processes specified in Column 1of 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.
N.B.1 CVD includes the following processes: directed gas flow out-of-pack deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation thermal decomposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD processes.N.B.2 Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.
N.B.3 The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process are produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as the pack cementation process, except that the substrate to be coated is not in contact with the powder mixture.
b. Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapour Deposition (TE-PVD) is an overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less than 0.1 Pa 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.
[39]
TABLE - DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES - TECHNICAL NOTE
Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table - continued:
b. Specific TE-PVD processes are as follows:
1. Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate the material which forms the coating;2. Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically resistive heating sources capable of producing a controlled and uniform flux of evaporated coating species;
3. "Laser" Evaporation uses either pulsed or continuous wave "laser" beams to heat the material which forms the coating;
4. Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the material which forms the coating and has an arc discharge established on the surface by a momentary contact of a ground trigger. Controlled motion of arcing erodes the cathode surface creating a highly ionized plasma. The anode can be either a cone attached to the periphery of the cathode, through an insulator, or the chamber. Substrate biasing is used for non line-of-sight deposition.
N.B. This definition does not include random cathodic arc deposition with non-biased substrates.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:1. The metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually aluminium, chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);2. An activator (normally a halide salt); and
3. An inert powder, most frequently alumina.
The substrate and powder mixture is contained within a retort which is heated to between 1,030 K (757°C) and 1,375 K (1,102°C) for sufficient time to deposit the coating.

Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table - continued:
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 under-water.N.B. 1 Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric pressure.N.B. 2 High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity exceeding 750 m/s calculated at 293 K (20°C) at 0.1 MPa.
f. 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.N.B.1 The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive sputter deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the coating and rate of deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter deposition used to permit vapourisation of non-metallic coating materials.N.B.2 Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to activate the deposition.
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 ON "COMPOSITE THEORETICAL PERFORMANCE"
("CTP")
Abbreviations used in this Technical Note
Execution time 't' is expressed in microseconds, TP and "CTP" are expressed in millions of theoretical operations per second (Mtops) and WL is expressed in bits. |
Outline of "CTP" calculation method
"CTP" is a measure of computational performance given in Mtops. In calculating the "CTP" of an aggregation of "CEs" the following three steps are required:1. Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each "CE";2. Apply the word length adjustment (L) to the effective calculating rate (R), resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP) for each "CE";
3. If there is more than one "CE", combine the TPs, resulting in a "CTP" for the aggregation.
Details for these steps are given in the following sections.
Note 1 For aggregations of multiple "CEs" which have both shared and unshared memory subsystems, the calculation of "CTP" is completed hierarchically, in two steps: first, aggregate the groups of "CEs" sharing memory; second, calculate the "CTP" of the groups using the calculation method for multiple "CEs" not sharing memory.
Note 2 "CEs" that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and video display controllers) are not aggregated into the "CTP" calculation.
[63]
TECHNICAL NOTE ON "CTP"
The following table shows the method of calculating the Effective Calculating
Rate R for each "CE":
Step 1: The effective calculating rate R
| For "CEs" Implementing:
Note Every "CE" must be evaluated |
Effective calculating Rate, R
|
|||
| XP only
(R xp)
|
1 if no add is implemented use:
1 If neither add nor mulitply is implemented use the fastest available arithmetic operation as follows:
1 See Notes X & Z |
|||
| FP only (R fp)
|
See Notes X & Y |
|||
| Both FP and XP (R) |
Calculate both R xp, R fp |
|||
| For simple logic processors not implementing any of the specified arithmetic
operations.
|
1 Where t log is the execute time of the XOR, or for logic hardware not implementing the XOR, the fastest simple logic operation. See Notes X & Z |
|||
| For special logic processors not using any of the specified arithmetic
or logic operations.
|
R = R' * WL/64 Where R' is the number of results per second, WL is the number of bits upon which the logic operation occurs, and 64 is a factor to normalize to a 64 bit operation. |
[64]
TECHNICAL NOTE ON "CTP"
Note W
For a pipelined "CE" capable of executing up to one arithmetic or logic operation every clock cycle after the pipeline is full, a pipelined rate can be established. The effective calculating rate (R) for such a "CE" is the faster of the pipelined rate or non-pipelined execution rate.
Note X
For a "CE" which performs multiple operations of a specific type in a single cycle (e.g., two additions per cycle or two identical logic operations per cycle), the execution time t is given by:
| t = |
cycle time
|
"CEs" which perform different types of arithmetic or logic 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 the shorter execution time value.
Note Y
For the "CE" that does not implement FP add or FP multiply, but that performs FP divide:
| Rfp = |
1 |
If the "CE" implements FP reciprocal but not FP add, FP multiply or FP divide, then
| Rfp = |
1
|
If none of the specified instructions 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.
[65]
TECHNICAL NOTE ON "CTP"
Note Z
Rates should be calculated for all supported operand lengths considering both pipelined operations (if supported), and non-pipelined operations using the fastest executing instruction for each operand length based on:1. Pipelined or register-to-register operations. 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.
Step 2: TP for each supported operand length WL
Adjust the effective rate R (or R') by the word length adjustment L as follows:
TP = R * L,
where L = (1/3 + WL/96)
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.)The combination of a mantissa ALU and an exponent ALU of a floating point processor or unit is considered to be one "CE" with a Word Length (WL) equal to the number of bits in the data representation (typically 32 or 64) for purposes of the "CTP" calculation.
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.
[66]
TECHNICAL NOTE ON "CTP"
Step 3: "CTP" for aggregations of "CEs", including CPUs
For a CPU with a single "CE","CTP" = TP
(for "CEs" performing both fixed and floating point operations
TP = max (TPfp, TPxp))
"CTP" for aggregations of multiple "CEs" operating simultaneously is calculated as follows:Note 1 For aggregations that do not allow all of the "CEs" to run simultaneously, the possible combination of "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.N.B. To determine the possible combinations of simultaneously operating "CEs", generate an instruction sequence that initiates operations in multiple "CEs", beginning with the slowest "CE" (the one needing the largest number of cycles to complete its operation) and ending with the fastest "CE". At each cycle of the sequence, the combination of "CEs" that are in operation during that cycle is a possible combination. The instruction sequence must take into account all hardware and/or architectural constraints on overlapping operations.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.
Note 4 "CTP" values are not to be aggregated for "CE" combinations (inter)connected by "Local Area Networks", Wide Area Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by software.
[67]
TECHNICAL NOTE ON "CTP"
Note 5 "CTP" values must be aggregated for multiple "CEs" specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory,- or multiple memory/"CE"- combinations operating simultaneously utilising specially designed hardware.This aggregation does not apply to "electronic assemblies" described by 4.A.3.d.
"CTP" = TP1 + C2 * TP2 + ... + Cn * TP n,
where the TPs are ordered by value, with TP1 being the highest, TP2 being the second highest, ..., and TPn being the lowest. Ci is a coefficient determined by the strength of the interconnection between "CEs", as follows:
For multiple "CEs" operating simultaneously and sharing memory:
C2 = C3 = C4 = ... = Cn = 0.75
Note 1 When the "CTP" calculated by the above method does not exceed 194 Mtops, the following formula may be used to calculate Ci:
Ci = 0.75
square root m(i = 2, ... , n)
where m = the number of "CEs" or groups of "CEs" sharing access.
provided:1. The TPi of each "CE" or group of "CEs" does not exceed 30 Mtops;2. The "CEs" or groups of "CEs" share access to main memory (excluding cache memory) over a single channel; and
3. Only one "CE" or group of "CEs" can have use of the channel at any given time.
N.B. This does not apply to items controlled under Category 3.Note 2 "CEs" share memory if they access a common segment of solid state memory. This memory may include cache memory, main memory or other internal memory. Peripheral memory devices such as disk drives, tape drives or RAM disks are not included.
[68]
TECHNICAL NOTE ON "CTP"
For Multiple "CEs" or groups of "CEs" not sharing memory, interconnected by one or more data channels:
Ci = 0.75 * ki (i = 2, ... , 32) (see Note below) = 0.60 * ki (i = 33, ... , 64) = 0.45 * ki (i = 65, ... , 256) = 0.30 * ki (i > 256) The value of Ci is based on the number of "CE"s, not the number of nodes.
where
ki = min (Si/Kr, 1), and Kr = normalizing factor of 20 MByte/s. Si
= sum of the maximum data rates (in units of MByte/s) for all data channels connected to the ith "CE" or group of "CEs" sharing memory.
When calculating a Ci for a group of "CEs", the number of the first "CE" in a group determines the proper limit for Ci. For example, in an aggregation of groups consisting of 3 "CEs" each, the 22nd group will contain "CE"64, "CE"65 and "CE"66. The proper limit for Ci for this group is 0.60.
Aggregation (of "CEs" or groups of "CEs") should be from the fastest-to-slowest; i.e.:
TP1 >/= TP2 >/= .... TPn , andin the case of TPi = TPi + 1, from the largest to smallest; i.e.:
Ci >/= Ci + 1Note The ki factor is not to be applied to "CEs" 2 to 12 if the TPi of the "CE" or group of "CEs" is more than 50 Mtops; i.e., Ci for "CEs" 2 to 12 is 0.75.

1. Maintenance Level IThe failure of an inertial navigation unit is detected on the aircraft by indications from the control and display unit (CDU) or by the status message from the corresponding sub-system. By following the manufacturer's manual, the cause of the failure may be localised at the level of the malfunctioning line replaceable unit (LRU). The operator then removes the LRU and replaces it with a spare.
2. Maintenance Level II
The defective LRU is sent to the maintenance workshop (the manufacturer's or that of the operator responsible for level II maintenance). At the maintenance workshop, the malfunctioning LRU is tested by various appropriate means to verify and localise the defective shop replaceable assembly (SRA) module responsible for the failure. This SRA is removed and replaced by an operative spare. The defective SRA (or possibly the complete LRU) is then shipped to the manufacturer.

The format is the North America version of "SDH" and also uses the Synchronous Transport Module (STM). However, it uses the Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) as the basic transport module with a first level rate of 51.81 Mbit/s. (The "SONET" standards are being integrated into those of "SDH".)
"Systems tracks" (6)
Processed, correlated (fusion of radar target data to flight plan position) and updated aircraft flight position report available to the Air Traffic Control centre controllers.
"Systolic array computer" (4)
A computer where the flow and modification of the data is dynamically controllable at the logic gate level by the user.
"Tear gases" (ML7)
Gases which produce temporary irritating or disabling effects which disappear within minutes of removal from exposure.
[193]
"Technology" (GTN & Both Lists)

Controlled "technology" is defined in the General Technology Note and in the Dual-Use List.N.B. 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.
N.B. 2 'Technical assistance' may take forms such as instructions, skills, training, working knowledge and consulting services and may involve the transfer of 'technical data'.
"Terminal interface equipment" (4)
Equipment at which information enters or leaves the telecommunication system, e.g., telephone, data device, computer, facsimile device.
"Three dimensional Vector Rate" (4)
The number of vectors generated per second which have 10 pixel poly line vectors, clip tested, randomly oriented, with either integer or floating point X-Y-Z coordinate values (whichever produces the maximum rate).
"Tilting spindle" (2)
A tool-holding spindle which alters, during the machining process, the angular position of its centre line with respect to any other axis.
"Time constant" (6)
The time taken from the application of a light stimulus for the current increment to reach a value of 1-1/e times the final value (i.e., 63% of the final value).
"Total control of flight" (7)
Automated control of "aircraft" state variables and flight path to meet mission objectives responding to real time changes in data regarding objectives, hazards or other "aircraft".
"Total digital transfer rate" (5)
The number of bits, including line coding, overhead and so forth per unit time passing between corresponding equipment in a digital transmission system.
"Transfer laser" (6)
A "laser" in which the lasing species is excited through the transfer of energy by collision of a non-lasing atom or molecule with a lasing atom or molecule species.
[194]
"Tunable" (6)
The ability of a "laser" to produce a continuous output at all wavelengths over a range of several "laser" transitions. A line selectable "laser" produces discrete wavelengths within one "laser" transition and is not considered "tunable".
"Use" (GTN, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Operation, installation (including on-site installation), maintenance (checking), repair, overhaul and refurbishing.
"User-accessible programmability" (4, 5, 6)
The facility allowing a user to insert, modify or replace "programmes" by means other than:a. A physical change in wiring or interconnections; orb. The setting of function controls including entry of parameters.
"Vacuum Atomisation" (1)
A process to reduce a molten stream of metal to droplets of a diameter of 500 µm or less by the rapid evolution of a dissolved gas upon exposure to a vacuum.
"Variable geometry airfoils" (7)
Use of trailing edge flaps or tabs, or leading edge slats or pivoted nose droop, the position of which can be controlled in flight.
