For want of a sponsor or potential "licensee," an official "Invention Disclosure" outlining an unconventional method of forcibly changing nuclear-decay "half-lives" has been sitting in an office gathering dust. Although the method uses certain kinds of currently available though, in some cases, somewhat "exotic" electronic devices (if you consider SQUIDs, IMPATT devices, or UJTs to be "exotic"), and although the method is described in sufficient detail in the disclosure to make it easy to put the "invention" into operation to see if it does what it is supposed to do, it seems to be going nowhere. The reasons are (1) the "invention" supposedly has no commercial value and (2) the "inventor" hasn't turned over to the authorities the basic equations comprising the theoretical basis for the "invention," one of which is some kind of non-source-free Klein-Gordon equation. I don't remember the official disclosure registration number, but I could find it out easily enough, or else, if someone or some organization is interested in looking into the possibility of being a "sponsor" or "licensee," let me know and I'll put you in touch. A well known university is the current "holder" or "owner" of the "Inven- tion Disclosure," not me. =-) (Also, it's not sitting in *my* office, but theirs.) Thanks, Carey ccb104@psuvm.bitnet I do not speak for my employer.
