located at national observatories throughout the world. Unlike UT1, TAl does not change with variations in the rate of the Earth's rotation. TAl
provides the most accurate and uniform unit of time interval for scientific purposes. The fundamental unit of TAl is the SI second, defined as "the

GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
Iridium
The Iridium system is a satellite-based Global Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite System (GMPCS) supporting global, wireless digital
communications. Iridium currently provides voice, data, paging, and messaging services to a mobile subscriber using a handheld user terminal.
Services
The Iridium system provides a wide range of services to mobile subscribers via a variety of terminals including handsets, maritime and aviation
units and pagers. In addition to traditional voice and paging services, Iridium offers robust data services that provide global internet access to a
user's computer via a standard Iridium terminal. The data services include dial-up networking as well as Direct Internet services that provide high er
data rates, dramatically reduced connect times and a variety a Smart Connect™ features.
Iridium supports communications globally, even over polar regions, which are beyond the range of other satellite-based communications systems.
The Iridium System Architecture
Iridium utilizes the basic architectural concept illustrated below. The major components ofthe commercial Mobile Satellite System architecture are
the satellite constellation, user terminals, and gateway earth station.

User
The satellite constellation provides the communication links between the subscriber user terminals and the gateway earth station. The gateway
serves as the switching centre, routeing all communications and providing connectivity into any terrestrial networks, such as the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN). The gateway also locates, identifies and tracks subscribers for mobility management, and records user activity for
billing purposes.
The user terminals are similar to contemporary mobile telephones and provide system access to the mobile user. Invisible to the users is a system
control segment which operates and maintains the entire network, including the satellite constellation.
Iridium's Network Architecture
The Iridium system is the only Mobile Satellite System employing a cross-linked satellite constellation. Within the cross-linked architecture,
satellites are networked together by inter-satellite links. As a result a user is not required to be within the same satellite footprint as a gateway in
order to gain access to the network. User traffic is routed through the satellite constellation to the supporting gateway.

a) a member of the crew or a passenger on board the vessel exhibits one or more these symptoms;
• Fever or chills (profuse sweating, unusually flushed or pale skin, shivering)
• Rash;
• Stiff neck;
• Confusion or disorientation;
• Bruising or bleeding without injury;
• Yellowing of skin or eyes;
• Profuse watery or bloody stools;
• Cough, difficulty breathing and/or sore throats;
• Severe headache;
• Coloured sputum (yellow, green, brown), or sputum containing blood;
• Death.
The patient should be isolated in order to minimize the exposure of crew and passengers, and the Quarantine Station/Quarantine Officer contacted.
b) the person in charge of the vessel is, during the period;
i of four weeks preceding the estimated time of arrival of the vessel, or
ii since he last submitted adeclaration of health (as required by section 16 of the Quarantine Act), whichever is the lesser, aware of any instance of illness
among the crew or passengers that he suspects is of a communicable nature and may lead to the spread of the disease.
c) the vessel has, within sixty days of its estimated time of arrival in Canada, been in acountry that, in the opinion of aquarantine officer, is infected or suspected of
being infected with a communicable disease, or
d) a certificate establishing that the vessel has been de-ratted or exempted from de-ratting procedures has expired or is about to expire.
2. At the same time, the person in charge of a vessel shall, by radio, provide the quarantine officer with the following information:
(a) the name and nationality of the vessel;
(b) the ports called at during the voyage of the vessel;
(c) the nature of the cargo on board the vessel;
(d) the number of persons comprising the crew of the vessel;
(e) the number of passengers on board the vessel;
(D the port of destination of the vessel and the name of the vessel's owner or, if the owner is not in Canada, the name of the vessel's agent in Canada;
(g) the condition of all persons on board the vessel and details of any death or illness occurring during the voyage;
(h) whether the body of any person is being carried on the vessel;
(i) the estimated time of arrival of the vessel at the port of destination;
