Common use of ELEMENT Clause in Contracts

ELEMENT. A generic term used to refer to either a bar or a space. HUMAN READABLE INTERPRETATION (HRI) - The exact interpretation of the encoded barcode data presented in a human readable font. INTERCHARACTER GAP - The space between the last element of one character and the first element of the adjacent character of a discrete barcode. MARGIN (QUIET ZONE) - The area immediately preceding the start character and following the stop character, which contains no markings. SPACE - The lighter element of a barcode. START AND STOP CHARACTER - A distinct character represented by an asterisk (*), used at the beginning and end of each 3 of 9 barcode which provides initial timing references and direction of read information to the coding logic. The asterisk start and stop code is an integral part of, and peculiar to, the 3 of 9 barcode. SYMBOL - A complete barcode containing margins, start character, data characters, check digit (if any) and a stop character. UNIT SIZE - The bar width of a narrow element. The narrow bar and the narrow space are equal in the 3 of 9 barcode. 3 OF 9 BARCODE - a variable length, discrete, self-checking, bi-directional alphanumeric barcode. Its character set contains 43 meaningful characters: 0 - 9, A - Z, -, ., $, /, +, % and space. Each character is composed of nine elements: five bars and four spaces. Three of the nine elements are wide (binary value 1), and six elements of narrow (binary value 0). An additional common character, asterisk (*) is used for both start and stop delimiters.
