Abstract: A method and apparatus is described whereby invisible camera illuminators may be readily identified and located. In one embodiment the method of detecting the presence of an imaging system producing an invisible illuminator includes introducing a first optical filter capable of blocking energy from an LED infrared illuminator band source and allow energy from broadband visible light source to pass with minimal attenuation; and introducing a second optical filter that permits most of the energy from said infrared illuminator to pass and blocks a substantial portion of said broadband visible light; wherein said filtered LED infrared illuminator and said broadband visible light blink on and off.

Abstract: A projectile having light emitting structure and a rechargeable power source is launched by projectile launching apparatus such as a gun. The projectile launching apparatus charges the rechargeable power source and when the projectile is propelled a visual display is produced by the lighted propelled projectile.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying the track of a game article moving on a play surface, the game article directing energy to said play surface to energize energy reactive material and provide a visually observable track display.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a simple, hand-held, disposable device and a kit used to decorate and enhance the presentation of food. The device creates decorative shavings of food items of a desired thickness and curl. Particularly, the device creates decorative shavings of food items of a uniform, aesthetically pleasing design in a safe, effective and economical manner while being able to retain and store any unshaved portion of the food item therein.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for decorating an edible food without substantially deforming the edible food. A container delivers a liquid decorating substance to an elongated, soft, flexible nib. When placed in contact with a surface of the edible food and moved relative to the edible food, the nib readily laterally flexes when pressure is exerted on the surface by the nib so that the nib does not substantially deform the edible food even when the edible food is soft.

Abstract: A projectile having photoluminescent properties is exposed to light within a gun when propelled from the gun to excite the photoluminescent surface and provide a visual display by the propelled projectile. The projectile is illuminated by a flash lamp, such as a xenon flash lamp, having a high level ultraviolet light component and relatively low or non-existent red, orange and infrared components.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for applying a chemiluminescent fluid to an object. Two chemiluminescent fluid components are mixed within a reservoir. The mixed chemiluminescent fluid then flows through a porous applicator element mounted in a passageway in communication with the reservoir interior. The porous applicator element is in the form of a writing nib which may be utilized to manually apply the chemiluminescent fluid to an object.
