such as the amplification, regeneration or modification of a signal.
 10.‑ 8537 does not include cordless infrared devices for the remote control of television receivers or other electrical equipment (8543).
 11.‑ For the purposes of 8539, "light‑emitting diode (LED) light sources" covers:
 (a) "Light‑emitting diode (LED) modules" which are electrical light sources based on light‑emitting diodes (LED) arranged in electrical circuits and containing further elements like electrical, mechanical, thermal or optical elements. They also contain discrete active elements, discrete passive elements, or articles of 8536 or 8542 for the purposes of providing power supply or power control. Light‑emitting diode (LED) modules do not have a cap designed to allow easy installation or replacement in a luminaire and ensure mechanical and electrical contact.
 (b) "Light‑emitting diode (LED) lamps" which are electrical light sources containing one or more LED modules containing further elements like electrical, mechanical, thermal or optical elements. The distinction between light‑emitting diode (LED) modules and light‑emitting diode (LED) lamps is that lamps have a cap designed to allow easy installation or replacement in a luminaire and ensure mechanical and electrical contact.
 12.‑ For the purposes of 8541 and 8542:
 (a) (i) "Semiconductor devices" are semiconductor devices the operation of which depends on variations in resistivity on the application of an electric field or semiconductor‑based transducers.
  Semiconductor devices may also include assembly of plural elements, whether or not equipped with active and passive device ancillary functions.
  "Semiconductor‑based transducers" are, for the purposes of this definition, semiconductor‑based sensors, semiconductor‑based actuators, semiconductor‑based resonators and semiconductor‑based oscillators, which are types of discrete semiconductor‑based devices, which perform an intrinsic function, which are able to convert any kind of physical or chemical phenomena or an action into an electrical signal or an electrical signal into any type of physical phenomenon or an action.
  All the elements in semiconductor‑based transducers are indivisibly combined, and may also include necessary materials indivisibly attached, that enable their construction or function.
  The following expressions mean:
 (1) "Semiconductor‑based" means built or manufactured on a semiconductor substrate or made of semiconductor materials, manufactured by semiconductor technology, in which the semiconductor substrate or material plays a critical and unreplaceable role of transducer function and performance, and the operation of which is based on semiconductor properties including physical, electrical, chemical and optical properties.
 (2) "Physical or chemical phenomena" relate to phenomena, such as pressure, acoustic waves, acceleration, vibration, movement, orientation, strain, magnetic field strength, electric field strength, light, radioactivity, humidity, flow, chemicals concentration, etc.
 (3) "Semiconductor‑based sensor" is a type of semiconductor device, which consists of microelectronic or mechanical structures that are created in the mass or on the surface of a semiconductor and that have the function of detecting physical or chemical quantities
