What is the Sound Beam?
The hyper sonic Sound Beam Technology is simply the most revolutionary sound reproduction system of this century which allows you to remotely and magically place sound "wherever you want it" up to 300' away by simply "sending" the sound waves through space!

The sound only becomes apparent to the listener when the traveling sound waves have made impact with a surface, be it material, organic, or human. For example, if the Sound Beam is used in a large exhibit space, and aimed in one particular direction (let's say: a product, display, painting, etc., the visitors standing in that immediate area will notice the sound emanating from the surfaces within that targeted area, while others located elsewhere in the space will not be impacted by the otherwise fully radiating sound of a traditional loudspeaker. More to the point, and unlike a parabolic sound focusing device, the Sound Beam is a flat transducer system which can easily and unobtrusively be mounted on ceilings, walls, or floors, aimed to secretly impact the surfaces where the sound is desirable.

Not since the development of the "cone" loudspeaker more than 75 years ago has any technology provided such significant departure from conventional loudspeakers and such a remarkable new approach to the reproduction of sound. The amazing property of the Sound Beam technology is that, if aimed directly at a person's head from several feet away, that person will mysteriously hear voices or musical segments enveloping their head, as if wearing a pair of headsets, and with no apparent sound source in sight! It is therefore possible to specifically target the Sound Beam waves at a wall, floor, furniture, object, or a person, depending on the effect desired.

How does it work? (the technical stuff!)
The basic operating principal of the Sound Beam uses a property of air known as "non-linearity". A normal sound wave (like someone talking) is a small pressure wave that travels through the air. As the pressure goes up and down, the "non-linear" nature of the air itself causes the sound wave to be changed slightly. If you change a sound wave, new sounds (frequencies) are formed within the wave. Therefore, if we know how the air affects the sound waves, we can predict exactly what new frequencies (sounds) will be added into the sound wave by the air itself. An ultrasonic (beyond the range of human hearing) sound wave can be sent into the air with sufficient volume to cause the air to create these new frequencies. Since we cannot hear the ultrasonic sound, we only hear the new sounds that are formed by the non-linear action of the air.

Some ideas for applications
Automobiles -In-dash Sound Beam for private hands-free Cell Phone conversations. Audio/Video Conferencing - Project the audio from a conference in different languages, from a single central device, without headphones. Paging Systems - Direct announcements to specific areas. Retail Sales - Aim targeted advertising directly at the point of purchase. Drive Through Ordering - Direct communications with a motorist without disrupting others nearby. Safety Officials - Portable "bull horn" type device for communicating with a specific person or group. Military Applications - Ship-to-ship communications, ship-board announcements. Toys - Hand-held toy for kids to secretly communicate across the street from each other. Public Announcements - Highly focused announcements in noisy environments such as subways, airports, amusement parks, train stations, traffic intersections. Museums - Step on a floor spot labeled for a specific type of information or language, then magically hear the needed information without noticing the apparent source. A painting, sculpture or artifact describing themselves. Sports - Focus sound into a crowd of people on a football field and talk only to a selected few. Emergency Rescues - Rescuers communicate with endangered people far from reach.

A NEW POCKET-SIZE ELECTRONIC PERSONAL BODY-COOLING DEVICE USES A BATTERY-OPERATED CHIP THAT CREATES A COMFORTING OR THERAPEUTIC COOLING EFFEC AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON.

Called "UB-Kool", and about the size of a cell-phone, this totally solid state device uses no chemicals or fluids, yet at the push of a button, a pleasant looking ice-blue convex disc on the surface of UB-Kool instantly begins to lower its temperature, until it literally becomes as cold as a dry ice-cube. If overcome by uncomfortable heat both in and out of doors, one simply places the smooth ice-blue disc against the main artery in the neck, and the device begins to cool the blood flowing through that artery, bringing instant and pleasant comfort to the body as it lowers your temperature. The device can be applied to any other part of the face or body as desired, including cold-therapy applications over damaged muscles or joints during sports injuries for example.

UB-Kool is safe to use, totally self-contained, and does not require any other outside components to operate. Explains IRI CEO Robert Doornick, "the product can be manufactured as a simple battery operated unit, or as a rechargeable battery device which you replace into a charger just like a cell phone. One could also power or recharge the device from car cigarette lighter adapters, just like cell phones." Amazingly, one could also manufacture a similar device which generates both warm and cold temperatures, thanks to the special electronic chip's properties, which cause it to alter its temperature if voltage is applied in reverse.

"This new technological wizardry is certain to revolutionize the consumer world, as well as the pharmaceutical industry" says Robert Doornick, CEO of International Robotics, Inc. and patents have already been applied in a number of other applications, including the cooling or warming of a car or truck's interior while at rest, a hot/cold portable seat cushion, wrap-around hot/cold therapeutic bandages and compresses, etc.

AIRBOARD™ THE LONG AWAITED PERSONAL HOVERCRAFT SCOOTER IS SOON TO ARRIVE ON THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET.

Recreational electric and gas powered Scooters have been finding a increasing marketplace amongst enthusiasts of all ages. The team of Futurists at International Robotics are known for always adding their own unique touch in a great many products and industries. Now comes the AIRBOARD™, a single-rider standing Hovercraft Scooter. This futuristic device has the appearance of a transportation system right out of the Jettsons, and, while it is not street-legal; it is guaranteed to become a very popular form of recreational transportation.

The AIRBOARD™ is easy and fun to ride - simply start it up, hop on, watch the vehicle rise up on a trapped cushion of air, and then adjust the throttle and off you go! "It's easy to learn and simple maneuvers are achieved with just a little practice," explains IRI CEO Robert Doornick. "By adjusting your balance and changing your weight from one side to the other you can turn from 180 to 360. The AIRBOARD™ can take you to new heights of extreme fun and you can make it as easy or as difficult to ride as you like. Whether you want to simply have a ride or get a little more out of your own ability by trying out different moves and testing boundaries its up to you because the AIRBOARD™ will give back whatever you can dish out!

 

 

NEW FLASHLIGHT OFFERS GREATER SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND WITH SWEEPING HIGH-POWER OSCILLATING BEAM TO LIGHT-UP A MUCH WIDER AREA.

An amazing new flashlight called the "Oscillating Torch" or "SafeTScan" is being introduced by the Techno-Marketing™ alliance of International Robotics, Inc. The Flashlight uses a unique patented electromagnetic motor installation, which cleverly oscillates both the reflector and the high-power Xenon bulb to cause a sweeping motion of the intense and concentrated light beam housing. When you press the Sweep Mode button, the beam will sweep 20 times per second to the right and left, giving its user an unprecedented wide field of vision up to an amazing 75 feet. Unlike a traditional flashlight, which might use a different shaped lens to deliver a broader beam, the O-Torch accomplishes this feat by sweeping the single white beam across the field of vision.

This technology will at long last offer consumers and professionals a considerably greater level of safety and peace of mind, thanks to its greater angle of view. A homeowner can now light up a wider path in any direction while working in a garage or basement or simply walking the dog. A Security Guard or Law Enforcement Official might flood a suspicious area and dramatically increase their ability to instantly evaluate a situation over a much greater area. Whenever desired, the rapid scanning motion of the lamp housing acts as a strobe light and allows Law-Enforcement officers to make themselves more visible when pointing the flashlight at others, oncoming traffic, etc.

· Set the O-Torch back to the "Spot" mode, and it returns to a bright and straight penetrating spot, like any other flashlight.
· The O-Torch will be ideal for home, industry, camping, government, fire & law-enforcement officials, security guards, schools, the military, rescue missions, etc.
· There is a built-in storage space in the Battery Cap, containing a spare Xenon bulb.
· The lens and moving reflector are both heavy duty for extra durability.
· The O-Torch has a high-impact rubberized "soft touch" finish for easy grip and water resistance.
· There is one multicolored LED battery status indicator, which turns green to indicate over 50% battery capacity, or yellow to indicate 20% to 50% capacity, or red to indicate below 20% capacity.
· While Round in shape, the Flashlight is designed with two flat edges to prevent O-Torch from rolling away from you if it is placed on a slanted surface, or to aim it securely at an area you wish to light while remaining hands-free.
· O-Torch comes with a nylon strap for easy carrying.
· The Flashlight requires three D-size batteries.
