Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-pyrotechnic, self-illuminating projectile useful for marking, target illumination, or targeting adjustment which produces chemiluminescent light upon impact with an object. Because the production of light is delayed until impact, the projectile is not visualized until impact and the intensity of light upon impact is greater than light produced by projectiles that provide intermixing of light generating chemicals during flight.

Abstract: Projectile with luminous marking of the impact area, in particular a medium-calibre or small-calibre projectile, consisting of a hollow cylindrical body (1) in which an inertial mass (2) can move, said inertial mass being subjected to a movement by the positive or negative acceleration involved in the firing process, which movement causes the tearing of a diaphragm (3, 4) separating two chambers (5, 6), each containing a liquid with the potential of emitting light by chemiluminescence when they are mixed together. Upon impact, the light-emitting mixture is expelled to the outside through suitable orifices (21, 23) through the action of internal pressure possibly caused by the chemical generation of gas resulting from the chambers being brought into communication by effect of the diaphragm tearing.

Abstract: A method for composing music by a non-musician is based on the use of pre-recorded melodies which are stored in banks and associated with orchestra accompaniments also stored in banks. The orchestra accompaniments are in advance embodied in the form of an entire devoid of melody part. A selected melody is associable, with the aid of a suitable software, with a selected accompaniment by a dictation process which makes it possible to select, with a tolerance range, the duration and position of each melody note in the accompaniment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chemiluminescent light element having at least two chambers, filled with an oxalate solution and an activator solution, or variations of known chemiluminescent light materials including dyes. The oxalate solution is placed within a tight-sealed pouch made of thin aluminum foil lined on its interior side by a polymer, for instance a polyolefin, and so forms the first chamber. This latter is enclosed in a bigger tight-sealed pouch made of translucent polymer film forming the second chamber, which also contains the liquid activator. The outer pouch consists of two polymer films sealed together along their periphery and contain a ball able to pierce the inner pouch by manual action from the user.

Abstract: The invention concerns a chemiluminescent illuminating element comprising two containers filled respectively with an oxalate solution (5) and an activating solution. The oxalate solution is in a sealed pouch (1) made of a thin film (2,3) of aluminium foil, on the inside, and a polymer, for instance polyolefin, thereby forming the first container. The latter is enclosed in a larger sealed pouch (6) made of translucent polymeric film (7,8), forming the second container, which also contains the liquid activator (10). The outer pouch consists of two polymeric films (7,8) sealed together at their periphery and contains a ball (11) capable of tearing open the inner pouch (1) by the user's manual action.

Abstract: A solution for causing a chemiluminescent reaction after it has been mixed with another per se known solution. The solution includes a solvent, an oxalate, a fluorescent dye and a polymer. The dye is rubrene and the polymer is advantageously polyoxyethylene. The chemiluminescent reaction produces a color having a greater stability over time. Adding a polymer incorporating a second red fluorescent dye enables a redder color to be achieved than when rubrene is the sole fluorescent dye.

Abstract: A chemiluminescent lighting element is disclosed comprising at least two chambers each containing one component of a chemiluminescent composition one of the chambers having walls of a nature or geometry such that exertion of external pressure on the element more easily reduces the volume of the one chamber than the other.

Abstract: A multi-colored chemiluminescent lighting device and method for making same comprising a flexible tube filled at least partially with an activator solution a plurality of ampules containing oxalate solutions, which may or may not be of the same density, wherein the ampules are disposed in the flexible tube and at least one barrier element disposed between at least two of the plurality of ampules, wherein the barrier element(s) are disposed between ampules capable of imparting different chemiluminescent colors.

Abstract: A tubular lighting element is disclosed comprising two concentric tubes of translucent material, each filled with a component of a chemiluminescent composition which, when mixed, produce chemical light, wherein the inner tube contains at least one serration which causes the tube to be broken thereat when flexed.

Abstract: New derivatives of anthracene for the emission of a blue chemiluminescent light are disclosed. The derivatives are of 9,10-bisphenylanthracene substituted at the 2 position of the anthracene ring and on the phenyl groups. The production of turquoise chemiluminescent light is also disclosed by mixing said derivatives with a green 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene.

Abstract: Compositions adapted to be reacted with hydrogen peroxide to provide chemiluminescent light are disclosed wherein the fluorescer is a perylene derivative.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chemiluminescent article, which comprises a tube made of a flexible, light-transmitting and chemically stable material, closed at both of its ends, and which comprises at least two compartments which are filled with liquids which produce chemiluminescent light when mixed. The tube contains, between the ends, an internal diaphragm or disk, which separates the tube into said compartments. The diaphragm or disk has approximately a flat circular shape, with a cross-section which is approximately rectangular in profile, and is placed transversely with respect to the axis of the tube. The edge is in continuous contact with the interior of the wall of the tube.

Abstract: The invention reveals a chemiluminescent lighting element which consists of two concentric, long tubes each of which is made of a translucent and preferably flexible, synthetic material, one of which contains a first chemical liquid which emits chemiluminescent light, and the other of which contains a second chemical liquid whose function is to cause the light activation of the first liquid. The internal tube is provided with an element which moves essentially along the entire length of said tube, by a pressure imparted to it through the wall of the external tube. The sliding element is provided with a blade, which cuts the internal tube longitudinally as the element progresses along the tube and thus causes the liquid in each tube to mix whereby the first liquid is activated and chemiluminescent light is produced.
