This guy is incredible. I look to people like him who don't know or don't care about the limits of technology to develop force fields and anti-gavity ... transporters and faster than light travel ...

I bet the home security applications for this will take off: coupled with a motion sensor, a home alarm system could notify the police that a burglar was in the house while the HSS unit could incapacitate him/her until the cops arrive.

I also wonder if they could make tiny handheld stun units that bicyclists could aim at dogs or muggers. I've been bitten a couple of times while riding my bike and I don't like to carry pepper spray. This might be a good alternative.

It'll probably also spawn the development of HSS blocking devices. If stores start assulting my ears with advertising while I walk thrugh the aisles, I'd certainly want a device to filter it out!

"Imagine, he says, walking by a soda machine (say, one of the five million in Japan that will soon employ HSS), triggering a proximity detector, then hearing what you alone hear -- the plink of ice cubes and the invocation, ''Wouldn't a Coke taste great right about now?''"

Please God, no! I really cannot think of anything more intrusive than having advertising beamed directly into my head. It's not like you can shut your ears...

Does Ultra-Sound? toot your horn? How about Dimensia???

01 Apr 2003 | Ry R. said...

I am wondering if there is any way to reverse the way HSS works--if there were a way to record sound in the same way sound is projected, i e in such a manner that the sounds made by the person with the mic would not be picked up by the mic.

It seems that if such a technology were possible there would be a small revolution in professional audio recording and surround sound.

01 Apr 2003 | hurley#1 said...

i e in such a manner that the sounds made by the person with the mic would not be picked up by the mic.

I think you could accomplish this feat by turning the microphone off or unplugging it. ;-)

Seriously though, I don't understand what you're getting at. Why would you want a microphone that doesn't record sounds from the person it's pointed at?

There are directional mics and omnidirectional mics on the market now -- the directional mics are pretty good at cutting out noise that occurs to the side, while the omnidirectionals are good at picking up everything around.

01 Apr 2003 | indi said...

son of asfd: Why the snicker? Could you expand upon that thought so we can all have the benefit of your insight?

01 Apr 2003 | Ry R. said...

Hurley#1's right , I didn't make myself clear at all. This is what I was thinking:

HSS makes sound like it's right inside the head ? Eventually sound quality will be supberg ? HSS sound will be like a VR glasses, but much more immersive; entertainment uses might include video games, movies, music ? To take advantage of amazing sound put into people's heads we need a better way to record sound that cuts back on all interferace, because music 'in people's heads' will be much more immersive and noise will be more noticable.

So this made me thinking that the people holding the boom mics in movies, or who go into the wild to record sound make noise (I don't know how this would apply in a recording studio). Thus, how to cut down on this noise, however minute? A way was if there was way to make the way HSS works now (where the person behind sound projecting plate can't hear the projected noise) and apply it to recording (so someone standing behind the mic isn't picked up). I basically imagine a cameraman and a sound guy standing together ringed by microphones and the area where they were being 'neutral' and not recorded by the mics.

Maybe this is stupid, but for a flash it made sense to me.

What this doesn't say is this invention and inventor have been around for years. No actual mass production products, however.

03 Apr 2003 | OJ said...

Oh the endless possibilities for this invention! It blows my mind how someone could create something (anything) from nothing. SOmething important to think about however is whether the possibilities outweigh the moral ethics of personal invasion and so forth. WHo knows what the pentagon is planning for this thing...

04 Apr 2003 | p8 said...

You could make someone very paranoia with this invention.

09 Apr 2003 | barbara j. guillette said...

I have been looking for this technology for five years. This was used on me five years ago by the gov't, our former mayor , had access to this through HUD, it was used to harass people with in all kinds of strange ways, one thing Woodies web site does not state is this is picked up by your subconscious and whatever is suggested , you do. Kind of like a new wave, electronic slavery. It can also be used to create triggers to initiate behavior at a later date.
I dissented against this former mayor, Torigian, and a Company called Eastman Chemical, they destroyed my life with this and other high tech devices, I dissented the building of a golf course on the last open public space in our town. This has also been used by HUD, a program called Operation Safe Home,, they use it to drive people to suicide and despair for this is much more than speakers or something fun, it also has a very controlling dark side.

Yes hard to believe, well when it happened to me, I knew I was not nuts, I knew this was technology I had not heard about until now. so thanks Woody for letting the gov't use your invention for their rotten life destroying purposes, nothing personal understand, except I am tired of scientists who invent and turn their inventions over to the gov't and say go ahead do what you will, without responsiblity or care.
I didn't do one thing in my life to deserve what this man did to me, not one. but he had to have his second built golf course in our little town. May he and Eastman rot in hell.
Thank you for letting me have my say and telling you about the other side of your technology. electronic slavery

09 Apr 2003 | Barbara J. Guillette said...

P.S.The reason Eastman Gelatine was involved in this harassment, was because they owned half the land the golf course was built on, that was how they were involved and they were best friends with the mayor,who saved them tremendous amounts of cash through taxes, that were not paid as this company only paid 1/4 of what they should have to the town, and my landlord was Stuart Cumins from Hud, so it was an old boys network, having fun with all the new technology our gov't gave these men to use against the citizens of the U.S. illegally I might add.Do you doubt, well check it out. The gov't gave all this technology to the mayors of the towns to be used to oppresse and blame it on mental illness. If you read the New York Times write up 23 March 03, you will see in the interview, it states that these devices mimic any illness they(the users want) any illness, physical or mental. and that is true they do.

So you see we as the citizens of the U.S. are in for a real good time, I wonder why Bush wanted access to our medical histories 14 April 03 it goes into effect, Why? and on whom shall he use the code to enter and for what, without your signature and your knowledge.I wonder who else the gov't will savage with this technology.
Regards Again.

First off, Barbara J. Guillette, i really don't think that you should be blaming Norris considering he is an amazing man. He puts most of his successes to other people to be patented and otherwise. I think that this invention is an amazing device. It will do so much for sound related things such computers, concerts, radios, even saving people's life! So i see Barbara's point of view, but i think that all in all it is a much better project than she thinks and she should take that into consideration. right?

Well, it may as well be the end of mankind, if the government doesn't get you with HSS then the advertisers and globalization will. Think of all those HSS speakers beaming advertisements right into the heads of consumers, I don't know what it will turn out like but first there was knock knock, then ring ring, then came junk mail and SPAM, now HSS, we are certainly DOOMED.

Thankfully for me I socked away over 10,000 shares and will buy more , like buying Microsoft or Apple, Starbucks or Ben and Jerry's - IMO of course.

The HSS (Hyper-sonic sound) methods, one is to augment a normal sound with the ultrasonic to the effect of pinpoint placement,make you hear voices, the other is to compound ultrasonic with ultrasonic , at angle(s), to the effect of pinpoint pain and personal destruction, human flesh being easier to cut than a block wall.One method is cruel and unusual punishment, the other is residing inside your space without permission, ala a billet, see the fifth amendment. B & E, home invasion, impossible to trace or stop( put your head in a box). Syndicates are squealing with glee, but there's something worse. The electronics for almost 20 years now have been able to replicate the electromagnetic frequency of your brain as it thinks, e.g., when you hear a certain something, the measurement of your brain at that moment is taken, stored, played back at you later. The measurement part of this operation has been around since the 30s, but not with remote control. Complete control depends on indexing a person thoroughly, which is so much easier to do today. 150 years when the fifth column was wargaming John Wilkes Booth to give up on life and aim his frustrations at somebody, they had only the indexing. Trouble is , John Wilkes Booth was so young and popular, had so much to live for, it shouldn't have been easy to personally destruct him.

Whilst there is a lot of criticism of Bangle, what are the alternatives ?

Audis are just plain boring and seem to be variations on the theme of the A4, which is a reasonable design. The A8 has to be the ultimate in good taste taken to its limits - an insipid, boring and characterless lump of metal. The A4, A6, the A8 - unless one has a tape measure or is a car geek all would be almost indistinguishable from each other.

Jaguar. The S type is plain hideous - a previous variation of the Mondeo on steroids, bloated with a real rump end. X- type simply a smaller XJ. And the 'new' XJ looks exactly like the previous model. Were car designers even involved ?

Current Mercedes are hardly a statement of classic design. Some of the coupes look good. I struggle to differentiate an S-type from a C-type from certain angles. One is simply bigger than the other.

Most of what there is on our roads is boring and bland from every manufacturer. That is the real problem.

I have yet to meet anyone who does not love the look of the new Z4. The 7 series looks impressive and does not warrant the criticism that it has received from supposed 'design experts' in the press. They may not be perfect designs, and I do not necessarily like all the elements incorporated by Bangle - but they are far more interesting and impressive in the 'flesh' and on the roads than the competition.

But I suppose, if people and the press want more of the same boring and uninvolving designs on the road, then maybe that is what they should receive.

Ms. Guillette, i would like to impres upon you the utterly rediculous nature of your accussatoins against the your mayor and the government. beyond any moral or ethical quandries involved in the manipulation of emotions and behaviors of individuals, there are distinct and intrinsic limitations to the technology that discredit your story. the nature of interacting ultrasonic sound waves creates a third, audible "difference tone", in whihc the music or sound is encoded. this sound is created upon contact with the eardrum, creating the impressoin of sound being "inside your head". i would like to assure you that the sound is not actually **inside** your head, and there is a very distinct difference between making someone hear something and making people feel suicidal. for clarification, please re-read the new your times article you refer to in your comments. HIDA, a military-licensed offshoot of HSS can cause severe pain leading to nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and confusion. this is not synonymous with mind control. Woody Norris's quote regarding creating any symptoms you want is nota scientific guarantee so much as an exaggerated ego trip. relax.

30 Dec 2003 | concerned said...

The technology related to HSS has been around for some time. At least 20 years(or more). It has been used as a zero trace technology used to manipulate and destroy any one that posessors of the technology desired. Much of the research was funded by US government through private contractors. Most of the research was performed on non-consenting private citizens in their own homes and communities. This technology is used extensively by local "vigilante social groups" to torture people that they do not want in their neighborhood. It is used for revenge or control purposes by other organizations. I applaud Woody Norris for developing his version of this technology and making it public. I can gaurantee you that there are many people that wish that this technology would not ever be released to general public. Dirty little secrets used by people in powerful positions. At least they can no longer deny that this sort of technology is feasable. That has always been their of getting away with their abuses of the technology. Simply discredit the victim by denying that the technology exists.

At WWDC, I listened to Apple representatives make some excellent points about taking the time to build a 100%-compliant Aqua application, and I think all developers need to look beyond the code and listen to what the folks at Apple have to say

17 Jan 2004 | Eliza said...

If an application is designed well, the reward for users is that they will learn it faster, accomplish their daily tasks more easily, and have fewer questions for the help desk. As a developer of a well-designed application, your returns on that investment are more upgrade revenue, reduced tech support, better reviews, less documentation, and higher customer satisfaction. The rewards of building a good-looking Aqua application are worth taking the extra time.
