The Head-Worn Boom Subminiature Lavaliere
WHAT IT DOES:
A sub-minature microphone worn on a flesh-colored boom arm. Like backwards eyeglasses except behind the head or over the ear, holding a small microphone on cheek. Mic cable goes behind the neck and down the back.
(The Photo of my Head-Worn Boom Subminature Lavaliere shown here, is my original hand-bent coat hanger with cable and element shrink-tubed on. The shrink tubing can be colored to match facial color. The wire is hidden by the neck and back. This mic might of had its element changed.)

Sonature ®
a new type of surround-sound system.
WHAT IT DOES:
Sonature ® is the only surround sound system where you do not have to sit in the center to hear balanced surround sound.
It is the only system that you do not have to remix the original, to achieve surround sound. Particularly applicable for use in cars, and theaters, where it may not be possible to sit in the exact center. Samples are available.
STATUS:
AVAILABLE for surround conversion without remix. Available for recording or mixing. A few Artists have recorded with Sonature or had their recording converted.
MULTI-PRIORITIZING HEARING DEVICE
WHAT IT DOES:
A new type of hearing device (AID) with brains.
It compensates for what the hearing impaired lose, when they lose their hearing. It figures out what you would want to hear, and only amplifies what you would want to hear. It prioritizes sound and you only hear the most important thing. (ie The smoke detector alarm is more important than the TV)
Below is a sample of he Hearing device actually working. Notice that listener will only one sound at a time. They are listening to the TV when my two daughters walk into the room talking. The Device automatically overrides the TV sound and allows you to hear ONLY the conversation.
STATUS:
CURRENTLY IN NEGOTIATIONS
THE BIG EAR ®

EWO BRIDGE ®
WHAT IT DOES:
A new type of structure for a bridge or an up-in-the-air highway. This structure requires no verticals or pylons, uses less steel, and is stronger. The EWO Bridge is both beautiful and practical. It generates more power than it consumes, costs less to build, and an audio device turns the bridge into, not just a means from on place to another, but also into an event and thus an icon, in whatever locale it is placed. I was asked to become part of the small team of designers led by Hawon Lee who invented this triple helix, DNA-like concept.
