2. Revised 6.A.2.a.3. Note 2.d Thermopile arrays
A new decontrol note for thermopile arrays having less than 5,130 elements (pixels).
Thermopiles are a technology in development for thermal detection and imaging. Resolution and quality are improving, but arrays having a small number of pixels give poor quality images.

3. New Note added to exclude from the controls mirrors specially designed
6.A.4.a.2 and 6.A.4.a.3. Lightweight optical mirrors
New Note added to exclude from the controls mirrors specially designed
to direct solar radiation for terrestrial heliostat installations
