Abstract: An identification patch adapted to be attached to an object for its identification and method. The patch comprises a first area of material radiating within a first infrared band detectable by a first device operating in said first infrared band and a second area of material radiating within a second infrared band detectable by a second device operating in said second infrared band. The combination of the first and second areas of material forms a discernable pattern detectable when using a selected one of said devices yet covert to the naked eye.A covert identification patch for a vehicle having a roof and method. The patch comprises a frame having a first surface and a second surface the frame dimensioned and having an external characteristic to approximate that of a sunroof, a first material on the first surface wherein the first material radiates electromagnetic radiation within a first band undetectable to the naked eye, and an adhesive for attaching the frame to the roof.

Abstract: A holster and shade used to protect a light stick as well as act as a support therefor. The holster comprises a hollow tubular sheath dimensioned to protect the entire length of the light stick placed therein when in a stored position. When illumination is desired, the light stick is extracted from the holster sheath, reversed, and inserted into the holster, which then supports the light stick with a lens thereof exposed for providing the required illumination.

Abstract: A light emitting device, method and lens, the device comprising an LED emitting a beam of light and a transparent light conditioning lens concentric with the beam of light and through which the beam of light travels. The lens comprises a light concentrating part and a light diffusing part. The concentrating part concentrates a first portion of the light to form a first beam of light having a narrow angle of dispersion, preferably of less than about 10 degrees and the light diffusing part diffuses a second portion of the light to form a second beam of light concentric with the first beam and having a wide angle of dispersion greater than the narrow angle of dispersion, preferably greater than about 70 degrees. An intensity of the first beam is greater than an intensity of the second beam.
