Abstract: Compounds are disclosed for the production of chemiluminescent light, particularly for the production of blue/violet light within the range of about 390 nm to less than 438 nm, and most particularly to the use of compounds composed of symmetrically and asymmetrically substituted anthracenes which are effective for increasing the production of such blue/violet light when used as fluorescers in conjunction with chemiluminescent systems. These systems utilize derivatives of 9,10-diphenylanthracene containing one or more fluorines As shown in General Formulae 1-3. The variables shown in Formulae 1-3 are defined in the specification.

Abstract: The instant invention discloses a triboluminescent projectile useful for identifying a point of impact and includes one or more triboluminescent materials contained thereon or therein. The projectile is in the form of any shape or size and is constructed and arranged to be combined with at least one triboluminescent material. Mechanical stress inducing materials may be included with the triboluminescent materials. The projectile, in combination with the triboluminescent materials, provides a user with identification of the target-projectile point of impact.

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: A chemiluminescent system and device is disclosed wherein a first polymeric sheet having a shaped cavity therein is sealed around its periphery to a second polymeric sheet and the cavity contains a cured PVC plastisol having admixed an oxalate solution and finely divided semiconductor laser crystals and a sealed receptacle containing a liquid component of a chemiluminescent activator. Placed over the plastisol or container is a light filter having a dye or dyes, pigment or pigments compounded into the filter, the dyes or pigments are chosen from those that absorb certain parts of the spectrum such that all light emissions up to 1050 nm are absorbed and anything beyond 1050 nm is transmitted. The devices generate a chemiluminescent light at wavelengths chosen to stimulate the semiconductor laser crystals. The semiconductor laser crystals absorb the chemiluminescent light and re-emit energy at wavelengths in the IR.

Abstract: A light stick for providing chemiluminescent light to provide general illumination of an otherwise darkened area. The device is thrown into position causing the chemiluminescent components to mix upon impact with a rigid object thereby generating chemiluminescent light after a predetermined delay. The device will provide illumination to an area of possible criminal activity and can be used tactically by law enforcement officials to help avoid danger to themselves and possibly others.

Abstract: A chemiluminescent illuminated device employing a light-filtering injection molded polygonal shaped container that is scalloped to form an augmented illumination surface. The shaped housing includes a round shaped or form following chemical holding section. The lighting effects generated by the chemiluminescent chemical is enhanced by the polygonal shape and the inherent optical properties.

Abstract: A formable, porous chemiluminescent reactant composition, device therefore, and a process for production thereof is disclosed. The fluidizable solid admixture of the instant invention may be cured to a more or less rigid form with or without the use of a mold. The cured solid is useful as a chemiluminescent reactant component and is useful in a variety of environments.

Abstract: This invention is directed towards chemiluminescent systems useful in the practice of methods of intrusion detection, compositions useful for intrusion detection and methods for their formation, and to covert intrusion detection techniques and compositions therefore containing an infrared light generating chemiluminescent system, blended into an earthen-like carrier that enable one to detect whether any movement has breached an area during a certain time frame.

Abstract: End caps for chemiluminescent light sticks. The end caps can be of a numerous styles and materials for coupling to a common light stick body. The end caps can be installed either during the manufacturing stage allowing manufacturer efficiencies or for installation by the consumer such as in a kit. The end caps allow use of a common light stick that may include the chemical light components in sealed containers wherein the container includes a receptacle for securement of the end cap; or in an unsealed container wherein the end cap provides the sealing mechanism for the chemicals. The end caps can be made from most any material providing the manufacturer with the ability to produce a large variety of attachment mechanisms while decreasing the cost of light stick production.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a chemiluminescent device along with a process for its production. The invention specifically relates to a chemiluminescent article of manufacture (FIG. 1), which includes a containment device (12) having polymeric outer containment (18, 20), and chemical system of oxalate solution inside frangible vial (14), and activator inside frangible vial (16), both the containment device and chemical system may be selected to be particularly susceptible to environmental degradation subsequent to their use. In a preferred embodiment, the chemiluminescent device is designed for an enhanced shelf life prior to use while remaining capable of losing its physical form and re-entering the environment after use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of training military, law enforcement personnel, or the like, tasked with the accurate firing of small caliber munitions. A need exists for quantifying the ability of the trainees by detecting the accuracy with which they are able to strike their intended targets, especially in nighttime training situations. This invention relates to munitions which contain a chemical light producing system; particularly to small caliber munitions containing a chemiluminescent chemical light system; and most particularly to small caliber munitions having selectable, marking, tracing, or combined tracing/marking utility.
