Norma VISA/Ma.t..r<:ard/OlAeover Chemlite technology transfer earns prestigious award for Richter, Henry and Johnson By Barry McDonald Edilol M ore than 25 years after they first started "playing with this SlUff," Herb Richter, head of the Combustion/Detonation Research Branch of the Resean:h Department, and others are still receiving recognition for their work with chemiluminescence. On April 20, Richter and Dr. Ronald Henry and Joseph Johnson, who are both retired, received the Federal Laboratory Consortium Excellence in Technology Transfer Award in Pittsburgh, Pa. From 67 award submissions, 28 awards were granted-five DoD and two of those, Navy. The award stemmed from pioneering licensing agreements for rights to use govern'\'ent-owned patents in the production of "chemlites" by private enter- prise. While Henry and Johnson were unable to attend the ceremonies, Richter was invited to present a brief on the process they used to transfer the chemlite technology to industry. Research into chemiluminescence-the production of light from a chemi- cal reaction-began in 1962 as a joint Navy lab, industry and university effort, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. By 1969, from a darkroom curiosity of firefly intensity, researchers were able to increase light yield by a facto'r of 10,000, capable of practical application. Light sticks were first used militarily as target markers, flares, replacements for flashlights, for locating downed pilots and in man-overboard situations. Early chemlites consisted of a standard medical ampule, containing one chemical liquid, encased at one end of clear heat-shrink tubing. Another chemical liquid filled the remainder of the tube and both ends were sealed. To activate the chemical reaction, the ampule tip was broken off and the liquids allowed to mix. Pan of tbe problem tbey encountered in getting it produced commen:ially was the lack of a requirement for a national stock number. So they devised an aggrrssive marketing approach by Navy, Marine and Anny liaison officers and ctvlltan teams, that Included Lt. Col. George O'Grady, Maj . Jack Pipa, Richter, Robert L. Gerber, Carl H. Morley, Steven M. Little, William S. (Bill) McEwan and Carl A. Heller. After numerous "show and tell" demonstrations by these teams, "free sam- ples" were sent out for test and evaluation and to identify military applica- tions in return for written user reports that were used to show the need for commercial production.
