SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USP 5,411,653 is a moulding apparatus for 
hardening, finishing, and shaping reactive cement paste by utilizing 
electrolysis and electrophoresis without contact between the paste and 
the electrodes and prevents the gases generated in the electrolysis 
process from distorting the surface of the paste.
    USP 5,414,197 is a method of containing and isolating toxic or 
hazardous wastes by forming an aggregate of the waste in asphalt or 
other polymers and subsequently incorporating the aggregate in a 
cementitious matrix.
    USP 5,415,493 is self-explanatory.
    USP 5,419,652 is self-explanatory.
    USP 5,422,164 is a lightweight foxhole cover which can withstand 
mortar fire and is capable of withstanding dead load of at least 18 
inches of soil.
    USP 5,423,142 is an improved display sign which is protected 
against inclement weather and vandalism, and which provides for easy 
servicing of internal lighting and changing of the message.
    USP 5,436,385 is a method for performing land reclamation at a 
hazardous waste work site without the escape of the hazardous waste 
into the environment utilizing a reusable, movable dome structure.
    USP 5,441,362 is an improved erosion protection module for 
protecting coastal and hydraulic structures and shorelines that is 
configured to provide a high degree of interlocking while minimizing 
the internal stress levels within each module.
    USP 5,446,448 is an automated system for detecting river ice run 
conditions in order to warn downstream communities of possible flooding 
from ice jams.
    USP 5,447,065 is a particle velocity gauge for measuring particle 
velocities in solids, such as soil, natural rock, or concrete and is 
capable of operating at medium normal stresses to 90,000 psi and at 
accelerations exceeding 50,000 g's.
    USP 5,450,302 is a high intensity discharge illumination system 
containing a microprocessor based dimming/photocontrol unit responsive 
to changes in time of day and in ambient light.
    Applications for an exclusive or partially exclusive license should 
contain the information set forth in 37 CFR 404.8.
    Applications will be evaluated utilizing the following criteria: 
(1) Ability to manufacture and market the technology; (2) Manufacturing 
and marketing capability; (3) Time required to bring technology to 
market and production rate; (4) Royalties; (5) Technical capabilities; 
and, (6) Small Business status.
