I'm unaware of anything *new* to be brought up at tek 95 (Dennis, didn't
you mention something about that?)  That business about 7 minutes is
actually rather old news.  There are a couple of published references, but
I'd have to look them up to get the citations (don't have 'em with me
right now).  We talked about it in our IWR review article.  7 minutes was
derrived from information on rates of bubble growth in conjunction with
times to cause permanent nerve damage.

Aloha,
