Film type integrated circuit. (Category 3) means an array of ‘circuit elements’ and metallic interconnections formed by deposition of a thick or thin film on an insulating “substrate”; Technical Note‘Circuit element’ means a single active or passive functional part of an electronic circuit, such as one diode, one transistor, one resistor, one capacitor, etc. “flight control optical sensor array” (Category 7) means a network of distributed optical sensors, using “laser” beams, to provide real-time flight control data for on-board processing; “flight path optimisation” (Category 7) means a procedure that minimises deviations from a four-dimensional (space and time) desired trajectory based on maximising performance or effectiveness for mission tasks; “fly-by-light system” (Category 7) means a primary digital flight control system employing feedback to control the aircraft during flight, where the commands to the effectors or actuators are optical signals; “fly-by-wire system” (Category 7) means a primary digital flight control system employing feedback to control the aircraft during flight, where the commands to the effectors or actuators are electrical signals; “focal plane array” (Category 6) means a linear or two-dimensional planar layer, or combination of planar layers, of individual detector elements, with or without readout electronics, which work in the focal plane; Note“Focal plane array” does not include a stack of single detector elements or any two, three or four element detectors provided time delay and integration is not performed within the element. “fractional bandwidth” (Categories 3, 5) means the “instantaneous bandwidth” divided by the centre frequency, expressed as a percentage; “frequency hopping” (Categories 5, 6) means a form of “spread spectrum” in which the transmission frequency of a single communication channel is made to change by a random or pseudo-random sequence of discrete steps;
