"Dr. Richard Adler, president of North Star Research, performed the first plasma implantation experiments in 1981. Since the founding of the company we have been active in plasma and metal arc implantation. In 1996, North Star, North Star built the first equipment for commercial plasma implantation at Empire Hard Chrome." --Pg. 7. In this study, a 39 page long list of pulse power formulae was prepared for use by workers in the pulse power field. The categories of formulas and data presented includes: fundamental constants, unit conversions, model circuit results, marx generator circuits, capacitor charging circuits, transformer circuits, magnetic switching, transmission line circuits, transmission line geometric relationships, skin depth, field enhancement factors, solid, liquid and gaseous dielectric properties, intense electron and ion beam physics, electron beam.matter interaction, high power microwaves, railguns, diagnostics, and mechanical data. Vest pocket sized versions of this formulary are being widely distributed. Keywords: Pulse power; Accelerators; Microwaves
