rise time and its amplitude may be 

varied over a pre-specified dynamic 

range. For example, the rise time may 

emulate that of an impulse created 

during an explosion by a resultant 

pressure wave, i.e., less than 100 

microseconds. Embodiments also 

incorporate a data acquisition capability 

that accurately captures and records 

both the supplied impulse and the 

response of the sensor under test.

18. Title: A barrier to fluid passage is 

embedded within, instead of atop, 

porous material to retain the durability 

of the surface of the porous material. In 

one embodiment, a thin set mortar is 

applied to a concrete slab. A pleated 

metal foil is pressed into the wet mortar 

and a bond is established. The mortar is 

allowed to set and a top, or finish, 

section of concrete is then poured over 

the foil and finished conventionally. 

Provisions are made for sealing 

expansion joints in concrete slab floors 

and at the juncture of floor and wall. 

The foil may be provided in multiple 

layers to provide a mechanical bond via 

the concrete or mortar oozing through 

perforations or along pleats in each of 

the top and bottom layers of the multilayer foil, while providing at least one 

solid layer through which a fluid will 

not pass, at least in one direction. 

Serial No.: 10/715,430. 

Date: 11/19/2003. 

19. Title: A method, and a compound 

for facilitating it, that enchances night 

vision by dispersing a luminescent to 

provide low-intensity area illumination. 

Luminescents may include naturally 

occurring bioluminescents (visible 

spectrum) or man-made, preferably nontoxic, chemical-based luminescents 

(also termed chemiluminescents), the 

latter available for use in either the 

visible or IR spectrum. It may be applied 

locally to a surface or remotely by 

means of a delivery system. Preferably, 

select luminescents are dispersed as an 

aerosal to contact targeted surfaces. 

These luminescents may be used in 

spaces otherwise difficult to image with 

night vision equipment. Specifically 

provided is a method for viewing a 

target under low ambient light 

conditions comprising dispersing a 

luminescent material on surfaces in a 

dark space to provide a low-level, 

spatially broad, source of supplemental 

scene illumination, and viewing the 

target with image enhancing devices 

that are otherwise marginally useful 

without the presence of the luminescent 

material. 

Serial No.: 11/086,311. 

Date: 03/23/2005. 

20. Title: An ‘‘implant and forget’’

device for interacting with biota after a 

pre-established time period. Preferably, 

the biota are fauna and more 

particularly fish. In select embodiments, 

the device comprises packaging 

enclosing means for timing interaction 

via opening the packaging. In select 

embodiments of the present invention, 

the device is a sealed capsule inserted 

in fish. Embodiments of the present 

invention are implanted in triploid grass 

carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) to 

facilitate control of aquatic weeds in 

bodies of water. When the carp have 

been in the water for a pre-established 

approximate period of time, toxins in 

the device are dispensed via long-term 

bioerosion of the sealed opening in the 

packaging. Otherwise, the carp may 

destroy all vegetation and harm the 

aquatic environment for other aquatic 

life. Several alternative bioerodible seal 

configurations are provided as 

embodiments.
