1. Make outright to, or for the benefit of, a person a gift of any of the principal's property, including by the exercise of a presently exercisable general power of appointment held by the principal, in an amount per donee not to exceed the annual dollar limits of the federal gift tax exclusion under Internal Revenue Code 26 U.S.C. 2503 (b), as amended, without regard to whether the federal gift tax exclusion applies to the gift, or if the principal's spouse agrees to consent to a split gift pursuant to Internal Revenue Code 26 U.S.C. 2513, as amended, in an amount per donee not to exceed twice the annual federal gift tax exclusion limit; and

House Bill 1638 (85th Legislature, Regular Session), as codified in Texas Education Code, Section 28.009 (b-1) and (b-2), requires the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to collaboratively develop statewide goals for dual credit programs in Texas. These goals provide guidance to institutions of higher education (IHEs) and independent school districts (ISDs) on components that must be in place to ensure quality dual credit programs are provided to Texas high school students. These statewide goals address enrollment in and acceleration through postsecondary education, performance in college-level coursework, and strong academic advising.

All dual credit programs are required to establish a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the IHE and ISD that details the terms of the partnership. HB 1638 requires that on or after September 1, 2018, any new, revised, or renewed dual credit MOU or articulation agreement must include the following:

Goal 1: Independent school districts and institutions of higher education will implement purposeful and collaborative outreach efforts to inform all students and parents of the benefits and costs of dual credit, including enrollment and fee policies.

Goal 3: All dual credit students will receive academic and college readiness advising with access to student support services to bridge them successfully into college course completion.

National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 16381 is a particulate contami-nation coding system used in the fluid power industry to simplify the commu- nication of data from particle counters. It converts the particle counts at various size ranges into convenient broad-base classes. The particle numbers can range from single particles to many millions; therefore, a power series is used to cover the number range with a convenient number of classes.

NAS 1638 was conceived in the 1960s to control the amount of contamination delivered in aircraft hydraulic components, and became an American National Aerospace Standard in 1964. No coding system existed at the time for completed systems, so it was logical that it would be applied in this area.

NAS 1638 saw widespread acceptance in the 1970s and 1980s by industries where reliability was a prerequisite, in areas such as offshore oil production, iron and steel industries, etc. It led to the development of other coding systems, the most notable being the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 44062.

This is a result of recent changes to the ISO contamination standards for automatic particle counter (APC) calibration3, which necessitated the review of NAS 1638 and resulted in its withdrawal for newly designed systems.

NAS 1638 was the forerunner of other contamination coding. The concept of the code can be seen in Table 1 and it is based upon a fixed particle size distribution of the contaminant over a size range of >5 to >100 m. This distribution was based on particle contamination inside delivered aircraft hydraulic components in the 1960s.

From this basic distribution, a series of 14 classes was created covering very clean to very dirty levels, where the interval between each class is double the contamination level. This principle is a feature of many of the classes that have developed since.

The method of counting the particles referenced the optical microscope method defined in ARP 5984, simply because this was the only method in existence at the time. Another method of measuring the concentration of particles is included in the standard of gravimetric analysis, which is the weight per volume (mg/100 mL) with nine codes for this rarely applied technique.

Since its inception in the 1960s, the use of finer rated filters in hydraulic systems meant that the distribution of particles did not follow NAS 1638 as the proportion of larger particles (>15 m) was reduced through filtration. These relative low numbers generated significant errors in data at the larger sizes (>25 m) due to the use of bottle samples5.

Trending these sizes was fraught with problems and inaccuracies. This, and the fact that all five of the size ranges were not needed, led to the development of ISO 4406 in the early 1970s. This system was originally based upon the numbers of particles at >5 m and >15 m, but has since changed with the updates to the ISO standards.

Another criticism of NAS 1638 was that there was little guidance on how to use or apply it. For this reason, and to generally improve the standard, the SAE A6 Aerospace panel developed AS40596 for aircraft hydraulic systems. This subsequently became de facto ISO 11218. Few aircraft companies adopted this standard, and very few industrial companies even knew it existed despite the fact that it overcame the deficiencies of NAS 1638.

The introduction of the APC during the 1960s revolutionized the measurement of the size distribution of dirt particles in a hydraulic system. The accuracy, repeatability and speed of analysis allowed it to be used extensively for research into the effects of dirt on components and systems. Oklahoma State University, under the direction of Prof. Ernest C. Fitch, was the main force behind the introduction of ISO 44027 - the method for calibrating APCs.

This was based upon the size distribution of A.C. Fine Test Dust (ACFTD), a silica-based test dust used in the automotive and hydraulics industry. The size distribution was derived in 1964 using the optical microscope, so in effect, the APC was set-up to record identical numbers of ACFTD particles as the microscope. A praiseworthy step because it should give identical results - in theory.

The notice of termination of the supply of ACFTD in 1992 prompted a need for a replacement. It also gave the overseeing-ISO committee the opportunity to obtain traceability for the particle size distribution (PSD) of the calibration material. The lack of traceability was a problem in the 1990s as more companies endeavored to achieve ISO 9000-type quality systems.

ISO Medium Test Dust (ISO MTD) was the selected replacement and by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), who also certified the PSD. The NIST used a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with an Image Analysis software package to precisely identify the size and numbers of particles down to 1 m.

The net result was that if the APC was set to the same size (for example, >2 m, >5 m, etc.), the APC with the new calibration would record more small particles than one calibrated to ISO 4402 on the same sample. This is a complex issue and is fully described in ISO TRI63868. Because this situation could cause an uproar within the industry when companies would have to change specifications, the ISO committee decided to take the road of least resistance and selected new size descriptors that would give the same particle counts while retaining integer sizes.

Many are specified for analyzing oil samples and presenting data to NAS 1638 format for existing designs. The reasoning behind this is not entirely clear, but thought to be to separate old and new APC data. APC users are recommended to switch to the new standards.

In Table 3 it can be seen that the particle counts are defined by a number (relating to the quantity of particles) and a letter (relating to the size). This concept gives AS4059 much more flexibility than was possible with NAS 1638 because it is often the control of the cleanliness level that specifiers require rather than a fixed distribution; for example, they can specify improved control over critical sizes or relax controls over those that are not. Equally, sizes that are not critical can be omitted. There are three reporting options:
