Inventor Creates Soundless Sound System

Man Astounds Crowd in Oregon With His Soundless Sound Invention
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Elwood "Woody" Norris pointed a metal frequency emitter at one of perhaps 30 people who had come to see his invention. The emitter -- an aluminum square -- was hooked up by a wire to a CD player. Norris switched on the CD player.

"There's no speaker, but when I point this pad at you, you will hear the waterfall," said the 63-year-old Californian.
And one by one, each person in the audience did, and smiled widely.
Norris' HyperSonic Sound system has won him an award coveted by inventors -- the $500,000 annual Lemelson-MIT Prize. It works by sending a focused beam of sound above the range of human hearing. When it lands on you, it seems like sound is coming from inside your head.
Norris said the uses for the technology could come in handy -- in cars, in the airport or at home.
"Imagine your wife wants to watch television and you want to read a book, like the intellectual you are," he said to the crowd. "Imagine you are a lifeguard or a coach and you want to yell at someone, he'll be the only one to hear you."
Norris holds 47 U.S. patents, including one for a digital handheld recorder and another for a handsfree headset. He said the digital recorder made him an inventor for life.
"That sold for $5 million," Norris laughed. "That really made me want to be an inventor."
He demonstrated the sound system at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, also called OMSI, on Thursday.
Norris began tinkering as an inventor at a young age -- taking apart the family radio and putting it back together again. He said ideas come to him when he's driving around or talking with friends.
"I don't know how I got to be an inventor, but I guess some kids can play the piano, and I can invent."
Norris will receive the Lemelson-MIT Prize at a ceremony here on Friday.
One of his most recent patents is for the AirScooter, a personal flying machine designed for commuting. It reaches speeds up to 55 mph and is light enough -- under 300 pounds -- to not require a license to fly.
The AirScooter was also on display at OMSI, although Norris didn't fly it.
The machine has a single seat, a four-stroke engine and is barely 10 feet tall. Its pontoons allow it to land on water. The machine's fiberglass and aluminum construction keeps its weight down. Bike-style handle bars move two helicopter blades, which spin in opposite directions.
Norris' AirScooter was shown on "60 Minutes" last Sunday. He said since the airing of the show, more than 7 million people have visited the AirScooter's Web site.
Norris said he and his crew have tested the AirScooter for four years, and he couldn't have created the machine without a skilled group of aeronautics engineers around him.

When I got tickets to the GrandOpening of Maze. I had to stop by his place and pick them up. But we didn't chat.
I met Pod and Nick a few months later at the old Space for a CJ meetup and open bar.
Then I kept running into POD when I was shooting for some other site.
I think I joined CJ when there was like 100 members.

bling I work for a mtg bank as a loan officer, and I've seen a massive slow down in refis.... New purchases as well. Has your company slowed as well?
Florida and especially South Florida is still a super hot market. But 90% of those who needed to refi have already done so. With this and a flooding of people trying to get rich in the last few years to become brokers and real estate agents, the maket is flooded with so much competition. The thing is if you have good credit , you can go to a bank, but like many in South Fla. the credit scores suck and fdealing with a very transient population for other countries, a broker is needed.
Many other parts of the country are slowing down in new housing starts and refi's much more. Agents and brokers are feeling the squeeze.
Good pics bling. It looks like you neeed help focusing

For marketing purposes to the general public and other countries, they understand MMC " Miami Music Conference" more than WMC. It is more appealing to the person visiting to say you are going to MMC than " W" , since people would rather be partying in the Hot Miami sun than cold Winter snow.

It will not replace the Archos because of the limiting factor of the Memory Stick Duo cards. No Decent cameras take MS duo, and there are hardly any other devices that take it. That has been Sony's downfall with there proprietary formats.
I love my Archos GMnin 400
-
WHat type of cards does it support? only Sony Memory Stick or also Compact Flash?
How is the folder structure?

Human Corpes - without skin, posed for art.

This is an art exhibit I just heard about. It is both shocking and fascinating.
These are real human bodies in the pictures.
BODY WORLDS 2 - Exhibition Information
Dr. Gunther von Hagens, the mind behind the BODY WORLDS exhibits, has designed BODY WORLDS 2 to reveal significant insights about human anatomy, physiology and health, presenting an unprecedented view of the structure and function of the human body.
At BODY WORLDS 2, you experience the power and vulnerability of the wondrous human body. Perhaps most amazing are the exhibit’s full-body plastinates - many displayed in dynamic poses. The wide range of specimens shows how the body works when it’s healthy and how it breaks down when it’s not. Compare healthy lungs with those of a smoker, a disease-free liver with one showing hepatocirrhosis. You will leave the experience with a new respect for your body - and perhaps new motivation to commit to healthier habits!
All plastinates on display were created under the direction of Dr. Gunther von Hagens, the Inventor of Plastination and Scientific Director of the Institute for Plastination in Heidelberg, Germany. Dr. von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS and BODY WORLDS 2 are the original exhibitions featuring these plastinates, and only these exhibits have drawn more than 16 million people worldwide, making them the most successful touring exhibits in the world.
