On March 24, 2022, Canada further amended the Special Economic Measures(Russia) Regulations to prohibit the export of certain goods and technologies to Russia. The Restricted Goods and Technologies List includes a broad range of items in the areas of electronics, computers, telecommunications, sensors and lasers, navigation and avionics, marine, aerospace and transportation. This decision will help to undermine and erode the capabilities of the Russian military. 1, record 1, English, - Restricted%20Goods%20and%20Technologies%20List

A passive detector does not intentionally generate any magnetic field within the detection space. Passive detectors usually respond only to ferromagnetic materials and magnets.

Another key challenge is that of size, weight and power consumption(SWAP). Many embedded systems are used in industries where there is constant additional pressure to reduce SWAP. Examples include medical imaging, where there is a push to develop portable diagnostic imaging systems enabling easier use and increased flexibility necessitating smaller, lighter processing solutions. In military and aerospace applications, many systems will be used in airborne, sea-going or land-based vehicles where space and payload for processing electronics is generally limited, as is the overall power consumption that can be supported. 1, record 4, English, - size%2C%20weight%20and%20power
