New Entrant In the Race For Wafer-Thin Speakers
Smivs notes another technology aiming to become the ubiquitous flat, flexible loudspeaker in public and private spaces. This one comes out of the University of Warwick, in the UK, and may reach the market before year's end. We've discussed other attempts on this problem over the years, including a touch-sensitive display that is also a speaker, and an approach based on nanotubes. "The arrangement also allows for highly directional and accurate sound, say the researchers. The speakers would be ideal in public places such as passenger terminals since the sound quality does not deteriorate as much as conventional speakers... The flat speakers are relatively inexpensive to manufacture, say the researchers, and can be printed with design or concealed inside ceilings."
Wafer thin wafers?
I've recently patented a process by which a cool but yet pragmatic device, software, or system will be created and either sold, rented, or leased to solve a problem or make people enjoy and/or better utilize a different device, software, or system.
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.

the stupid coupon machines in the grocery store already occasionally talk to you as you walk past.
You too? Holy cow. I thought I was the only one.
Do they tell you the peas are hiding the killer of the impostor Bill Clinton, too?
How about more high pitched speakers to scare off the hoodlums... er I mean kids?
