Audio Spot Lighiting

If any airplane crash, there are many unanswered questions as to what brought the plane down. Investigators turn to the airplane's flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR), also known as "black boxes," for answers. In Flight 261, the FDR contained 48 parameters of flight data, and the CVR recorded a little more than 30 minutes of conversation and other audible cockpit noises.

AUDIO SPOT LIGHITING

ABSTRACT
Audio spot lighting is a very recent technology that creates focused beams of sound
similar to light beams coming out of a flashlight. By shining sound to one location, specific
listeners can be targeted with sound without others nearby hearing it. It uses a combination of
non-linear acoustics and some fancy mathematics. But it is real and is fine to knock the socks
of any conventional loud speaker. This acoustic device comprises a speaker that fires
inaudible ultrasound pulses with very small wavelength which act in a manner very similar to
that of a narrow column. The ultra sound beam acts as an airborne speaker and as the beam
moves through the air gradual distortion takes place in a predictable way due to the property
of non-linearity of air. This gives rise to audible components that can be accurately predicted
and precisely controlled. Joseph Pompeis Holosonic Research Labs invented the Audio
Spotlight that is made of a sound processor, an amplifier and the transducer. The American
Technology Corporation developed the Hyper Sonic Sound-based Directed Audio Sound
System. Both use ultrasound based solutions to beam sound into a focused beam. Audio
spotlight can be either directed at a particular listener or to a point where it is reflected.
The targeted or directed audio technology is going to a huge commercial market in
entertainment and consumer electronics and technology developers are scrambling to tap in to
the market. Being the most recent and dramatic change in the way we perceive sound since
the invention of coil loud speaker, audio spot light technology can do many miracles in
various fields like Private messaging system, Home theatre audio system, Navy and military
applications, museum displays, ventriloquist systems etc. Thus audio spotlighting helps us to
control where sound comes from and where it goes.
