	Legal Definition of Concealment
		CONCEALMENT - The unlawful suppression of any fact or circumstance by one of the partys to a contract from the other, which in justice ought to be made known.
		For example, the concealment by an agent that a nuisance existed in connexion with a house the owner had to hire, did not render the lease void.
		Under this rule, it has been decided that a policy is void, which was obtained by the concealment by the assured of the fact that he had heard that a vessel like his was taken.

	Concealment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Concealment or hiding is obscuring something from view or rendering it inconspicuous, the opposite of exposure.
		A military term is CCD: camouflage, concealment and deception (looks the same as the surroundings, can not be seen, looks like something else, respectively); in a wider sense the other two are also forms of hiding.
		The objective of hiding is often to keep the presence of an object or person secret, but in other cases not the presence is a secret, but only the location.

	Section IV: Concealment \| WWII German Tactical Doctrine, Military Intelligence Service, Special Series No. 8, December ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Concealment is most effective when the enemy requires a long time to discover that he has been deceived.
		Defensive concealment is particularly effective when the terrain contributes natural obstacles such as a river, a chain of lakes, a swamp, or some similar area.
		Artificial means of concealment, such as camouflage, smoke, or nets, are effective; but it is more important to survey carefully the surrounding area.

	Fraudulent Concealment: What Remains of the Statute of Limitations in Section 1 Cases?
		These courts, however, have differed over whether the affirmative acts of concealment may be acts in furtherance of the antitrust conspiracy, such as a submission of complementary bids, or whether the affirmative acts must be "separate and apart" from the antitrust conspiracy itself.
		The court reasoned that there was no principled basis for distinguishing between acts of perpetration and acts of concealment, and that wrongdoers who concealed their misconduct were not entitled to the benefits of the statute of limitations.
		A plaintiff invoking the fraudulent concealment doctrine must, in addition to showing acts of concealment, demonstrate the absence of notice of the cause of action and due diligence in attempting to discover the claim before the commencement of the limitations period.

	CNS Special Collection on the Iraq - Concealment
		Despite Iraqi efforts to portray this concealment effort as the actions of a single man (i.e., Hussein Kamal), the evidence indicated that the concealment effort was more pervasive, and in fact dominated Iraqi policies towards the Commission, the IAEA and the Council during the period between April 1991 and August 1995.
		It is dated 4 April 1991, and describes concealment activities undertaken at the Al Atheer Plant, a facility dedicated to the design and manufacture of a nuclear weapon.
		An important element in establishing this level of confidence is the identification by the Commission of the scope and activities of past concealment efforts, and clear verifiable evidence that such efforts have been terminated.

	Hybrid Spatial/Temporal Loss Concealment for Packet Video
		The decision between spatial and temporal concealment is taken individually for each quadrant of the missing block, and it is based on the presence of motion in the closest adjacent block.
		The loss concealment mechanism that we propose in this paper is hybrid, in the sense that it masks a lost block using information from both the previous video frame (temporal concealment), and from the surrounding blocks of the current frame (spatial concealment), depending on the presence of motion in that area of the frame.
		The temporal concealment approach leads, as expected, to excellent concealment in areas where there are no moving objects, or where the motion is not clearly visible.

	"Concealment and Exposure" by Thomas Nagel
		This particular problem is part of a larger topic, namely the importance of concealment as a condition of civilization.
		The demand for public lip-service to certain pieties and vigilance against tell-tale signs in speech of unacceptable attitudes or beliefs is due to an insistence that deep cultural conflicts should not simply be tolerated, but must be turned into battles for control of the common social space.
		The reason this is part of the same topic as our main theme of reticence and concealment is that it involves one of the most effective forms of invasion of privacy -- the demand that everyone stand up and be counted.

	eMJA: Allocation concealment and blinding: when ignorance is bliss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Allocation concealment is the term used to describe the procedure for protecting the randomisation process so that the treatment to be allocated is not known before the patient is entered into the study.
		Baseline imbalances as a direct result of concealment violation may not be evident across the whole trial, although patients from particular sites or patients from particular investigators may show consistent differences between treatment groups in various baseline prognostic factors.
		Allocation concealment (before randomisation) is thought to have a stronger influence on the reduction of bias than blinding (after randomisation).

	Beauty of Concealment and Concealment of Beauty
		On the other hand, those who have adopted hejab halfheartedly, or have tolerated it under duress, in spite of possessing clean and spotless frames, try to conceal their beauty by myriad forms, fashions, hues and dyes and cosmetics, as they feel that hejab shall bring down the standard of their beauty.
		The body which is destined to decay, to be mingled with the dust and produce (and be eaten by) worms, even at the pinnacle of its beauty is but an obstruction in the way to real beauty.
		The beauty of concealment, therefore, lies in the elimination of the physical values in order to revive the values of the real self of a woman in the mind of the society of man and woman.

	Rules of the Game: All About Sneak Attacks (Part Two)
		These measures allow you to locate an unseen foe, and possibly attack her, but they don't negate the foe's total concealment, so they won't keep you from being sneak attacked.
		A spell such as see invisibility or true seeing robs an invisible foe of its total concealment, but only for the creature using the spell; the spell user could then use other means to render the invisible foe at least partially visible to allies, however.
		This means that you can't sneak attack a creature with blindsight unless you have it flanked or catch it flat-footed.

	Setting the Stage II: Concealment
		Concealment also has a very cool secondary effect: It blocks sight, but it has no effect on movement.
		Given the penalties the characters must cope with, it is relatively easy to cast concealment as an asymmetrical condition.
		Penalty: You suffer a -10 penalty to attack rolls against a creature with concealment (25 percent miss chance), and a -20 penalty to attack rolls against a creature with full concealment (50 percent miss chance).
