I think my question was misunderstood.
I understand the concept of impulse as the time integral of a
force. This definition remains true regardless of the time
interval. In other cases "an impulse" means a force over a
vanishingly small time interval (like a hammer striking a
bowling ball).
These uses of the term impulse are not identical.
