[pullquote_left]AfterShokz utilizes patent pending technology, originally developed for military use, in a unique line of consumer headphones that bypass the eardrum to deliver sound.[/pullquote_left]Bone conduction technology, once available to the military and secret service, now made available to average joes. AfterShokz, a company that was created specifically for law enforcement and special ops, announced today their upcoming line of consumer products: AfterShokz Sport, AfterShokz Mobile and AfterShokz Game.” These things actually have some pretty cool tech working behind the scenes which allows the sound to travel directly to your inner ear via the cheekbone, and bypass your eardrums all together.
“Bone conduction technology has been around a long time; developed initially for our military forces that need to hear remote communication via a headphone, without any restriction to ambient noise in their surroundings,”said Bruce Borenstein, the president and CEO of AfterShokz. “We’ve taken that technology and built it into consumer-friendly headphones that active adults, business travelers and gamers will benefit from, both in the short and long term.”
As per the press release:
The AfterShokz brand offers users the benefit of comfortable, healthy and safe transmission of sound. Scientific studies have found that extended use of regular headphones and earbuds promote hearing loss and damage to the eardrum. AfterShokz headphones do not use the eardrums to transmit sound and provide consumers with a quality listening experience without the risk of eardrum damage.
AfterShokz Sport headphones enable joggers, bike riders, skiers, skateboarders, hikers and other athletes to safely use their portable music players while staying connected to their surroundings. Since AfterShokz headphones rest outside the ear, users are able to also hear ambient noises such as oncoming traffic, car horns, ambulances or other warning noises, potentially preventing accidents. Headphones that cover the ear and earbuds that nest inside the ear significantly restrict a user’s ability to hear these important sounds.
Be sure to check back with us as we’ll have a full review of the Aftershokz headphones.
I am due to complete my patent for a technology handheld device i have designed, i need to meet with Venture Capitalists and or Manufacturers like Apple or RIM. The question is… if i send my initial application for a patent which i assume should bring my patent to the “Patent Pending” status. How can i have meetings with VC’s about my invention without worrying that they will steal the idea?
Any advice on the steps from here would be appreciated!!

How does RFID work?
A RFID reader sends out a wireless signal via an antenna and is received by any RFID chip that is in its range. Usually RFID chips have no battery or other means of powering themselves. The RFID chips are activated and powered by the signal from the remote antenna. The RFID chip then wirelessly transmits the information it contains. Finally, the information is wirelessly received by the remote antenna and reader.
What’s wrong with that?
Sending personal identity and payment information wirelessly greatly increases the possibility for unnoticed malicious interception of the wireless signal. Since the chip is activated and powered automatically by the remote reading equipment, you cannot turn it off. It can be remotely activated and read anywhere and any time. Physically concealing RFID devices in a pocket, wallet, purse, or car does not keep your personal identity information from being wirelessly stolen without your knowledge or consent.
How do you protect your privacy?
Through the use of our patent pending, electromagnetically shielded Emvelope inserts you can make your wallet or purse a safe place for your identity again. Need a new wallet anyway and want one that is built with your privacy and discretion in mind? We will soon be releasing a new line of wallets with our Emvelope technology built right into the lining. What about your toll-tag and other “fast-pay” RFID enabled devices that are currently lying vulnerably in your car waiting to be wirelessly stolen? We will also be releasing Emvelope pouches for all of your RFID enabled devices that don’t fit so comfortably in your Emvelope protected wallet. However you use RFID enabled technology, you can trust Emvelope to help you do it with your security, privacy and discretion intact.
General
RFID will make our lives easier and our world safer. However the Federal Trade Commission reports that there were 246,570,000 reported cases of identity theft in 2004, which means if you’re reading this you most likely have been a victim of identity theft at some level in 2004. This number has gone up dramatically year after year. When every day items automatically share your credit card numbers and social Security numbers there is an opportunity for a further increase in this crime.
It is our goal to give our customers the comfort and security of knowing they choose when and where their every day items share their identities and credit accounts with those around them.
Q. What is WAZZUB?
WAZZUB is the world’s one and only Profit Sharing Phenomenon.
It is the first online community that shares its profits with its free pre-launch members
simply for choosing WAZZUB as their home page after launch.
WAZZUB is always free for everyone.
Q. What is the Power of “We”?
It’s a fact: companies like Google or Facebook earn BILLIONS OF $$$ every quarter
just because we, the Internet users use their services.
It is time to understand, that we “the users” decide who is earning the big money.
If we together decide to use the services of a company that shares profits with us,
there is nothing that the other companies could do about it.
It’s so easy: the more users that join the WAZZUB Family for free,
the more money we “the users” will earn!
That is what we call the Power of “We”!
Q. Who owns and operates WAZZUB?
WAZZUB is an international project that has been created by a handful of entrepreneurs and investors.
In September 2011 they founded GIT Global Investments, Inc. (GIT)
for the purpose of running WAZZUB and related businesses.
GIT is registered under the laws of Oregon. The Registration # is 802159-90.
A team of more than 20 specialists is working hard to turn WAZZUB into a huge success;
most of them are behind the scenes and some of them are visible for all members –
for example, our Master Distributor and our Support Staff.
Q. Where is WAZZUB’s office?
GIT’s registered office is at 391 NW 179th Ave, Beaverton, OR 97006
and our WAZZUB headquarters is located at 7251 Lake Mead Blvd, Suite 364, Las Vegas, NV 89128.
Q. WAZZUB sounds too good to be true. Is WAZZUB a scam or is it a real business?
For sure WAZZUB is doing real business but it is no traditional business.
The Internet is changing the world and there is enough space for innovative business models
that have never been done before. WAZZUB is one of those business models.
For the first time ever a global online community is sharing its profits
with its pre-launch members. That is why we named it the first Profit Sharing Phenomenon.
Actually, WAZZUB is too good to pass up.
Q. How does WAZZUB make money?
WAZZUB makes money in many different ways.
On April 9 we will launch a state-of-the-art website with patent-pending technology.
On this page we’ll display ads and special deals.
In fact, we do exactly the same as companies like Facebook, Google, AOL and Yahoo.
They offer free services and earn billions of $$$ just by displaying ads and special offers.
The only difference is that we share our profits with our pre-launch members.
Q. How and when do the members get paid?
WAZZUB pays its members on a monthly basis.
Our first pay day will be May 15, 2012 for the month of April.
Small amounts will be paid by an online payment processor
and large amounts will be paid by check or bank wire.
However, WAZZUB is working on a simple global payment solution to best serve our world-wide community.
Q. Is it true that the members get paid US$1 per person in their 5 generations family?
There is no fixed amount that will be paid to all members.
During pre-launch, every member is building his personal $FACTOR
by inviting other members to join WAZZUB for free.
Each new member, 5 generations deep let your personal $FACTOR grow by 1.
After launch, the members’ $FACTORs are fixed and by adding them up
we receive the total amount of $FACTORs (= the global $FACTOR).
Each month we calculate WAZZUB’s profit and divide it by the global $FACTOR
to determine the actual multiplicator.
Example: Let’s say that the profit to be shared for the month of April is $4 million
and the global $FACTOR is 5 million.
Each member would earn $0.80 per personal $FACTOR
($0.80 x your personal $FACTOR = your income for that particular month)
If there would be $5 million to share, the multiplicator would be $1.00 and at $6 million it would be $1.20.
The more free members that set up WAZZUB as their home page after launch,
the more money the pre-launch members will earn.

I didn’t get quite the response i was looking for, are people truly not open to a double toilet, what is the difference between this and a double shower? its the same principle.
Its Eco friendly.
It saves alot of time in the morning.
It’s aimed at couples and families, not strangers in a public setting.
Gives couples and family members time to reconnect without cell phones or other technology interupting.
Or simply turn around for more privacy.
One person can finish their “Poo” or “Pee” and continue getting ready for the day while the other person flushes once for both sets of waste.
Please let me know what you think now you have these facts?
Also another invention that has been running through my head for years is called the “Car Toilet” Patent pending.
A descreet toilet seat is built into the car seat, with a bowl and pipe leading out under the car.
Before the driver or passenger hops in the car they put on what i so far call “Car pants” a pair of one size fits all backless pants.
To save time on long trips, not having to stop every five minutes. The driver or passenger can privately pass a bowl movement or urinate directly into their car seat without anybody knowing.
When they finish they can descreetly reach out and press the “Flush” button installed on the dash board.
All waste is forced out of the car and onto the road or via a side pipe that directs the waste onto the side of the road.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks
Thankyou Kassi for your encouragement.
I just came up with a technical solution for online dating websites to improve their matching results. It’s not a difficult solution, just a set of algorithms, and I came up with it by myself. But today I just discovered that one site already has a very similar but somewhat simpler solution than mine that is patent pending. If they get the patent as planned, does that mean they can charge me whatever they want in order to use a similar technology? Do I have any hope of applying for a patent for my similar but slightly different solution, and if so how much might it cost to apply?
What started off several months ago as just fatigue and tiredness in his legs which would go away while sitting or sleeping, has now turned into severe pain in his legs (from his waist down to his ankles) which is constantly with him. It is bearable pain when sitting or laying down but quickly becomes unbearable when standing or walking. This major change happened approx. 10 weeks ago and the only thing that we can figure to explain this change was a missed step coming down the stairs which resulted in a loss of balance and awkward recovery that twisted the back and seemed to hurt something internal to the spine area. Have since had an X-ray and MRI which continues to show the formerly diagnosed spondylolisthesis. This diagnosis has now been discounted by Dr. Quigley (Spine specialist) as the source of the severe pain in the legs. Dr. Quigley feels that “spondy..” is not the likely source of the pain and that further testing is required to make a more accurate diagnosis. While we wait to figure out the root cause of the issue, dad’s pain seems to be uncontrollable resulting in him being extremely restless.
In order to control the pain have tried the following since 3/19/10:
- 3 epidural shots in the back with the last one administered on 5/1/10. There was no relief at all from these shots
- Oxycodone (10 – 325mg) – 1 tablet every 6 hours (Hit or Miss Relief)
- Fentanyl 25mcg Pain Patch – replace every 72 hours – Prescription given on 4/1/10 to replace ineffective Oxycodone. Once again Hit or Miss relief. – Lyrica (50mg) – prescribed on 4/6/10 by Dr. Loev
Overall medical history:
- No history of vascular/muscular pain in the past
- No history of arthritis
- No history of heart disease or diabetes
- No medicines taken on a regular basis
Chronology of treatment (prior to onset of excruciating pain):
- Primary care physician Dr. Anoma Bandara referred dad to a vascular specialist Dr. Robert Fox (Jan 2010)
- Dr. Fox did a sonogram and found no vascular issues and requested MRI’s of the spine (results and images on CD) and referred dad to see Dr. Quigley (Orthopedic surgeon) – completed in Feb 2010
- Meanwhile Dr. Bandara reviewed the MRI report and referred dad to see Dr. Zachary Levine a neuro surgeon from the Brain and Spine institute
- Dr. Levine asked for an X-Ray to be done (results and images on CD) and recommended against any kind of surgery based on Dad’s age and instead recommended physical therapy. – completed in Feb. 2010
-In order to pursue possible parallel diagnosis of the issue also saw Dr. Quigley (spine specialist) who prescribed some steroids to attack possible inflammation in the spine area and possibly relieve the pain. He diagnosed the condition as “Isthmic Spondylolisthesis”. After a weeks worth of taking the medicine there was no improvement. Dr. Quigley then recommended injections directly in the spine to possibly provide relief.
Since the conditions worsened: 3/19/10 to present
- 3 epidural shots to the back
- Medications listed above all prescribed after the onset of the intense pain
- Another X-Ray and MRI of the back which still shows the spondylolisthesis at L5-S1
- Met with Dr. Quigley (spine specialist) again and he no longer feels that the pain in the legs is caused by the spondylolisthesis seen in the back based on the fact that there has been no relief from the 3 epidural shots that were administered.
- Also performed the following tests
– full body bone scan (showed no problems)
– nerve conduction study and EMG (showed some erratic nerve issues at the L5-S1 vertebrae which confimred what was seen in the MRI)
– An array of blood work (everything was fine)
-Saw a different vascular surgeon and repeated the ultrasound test which showed no vascular problems
-Saw a rheumatologist who also confirmed that there were no signs of arthritis
-Saw a different neurosurgeon who asked us to pursue with a neurologist to determine the source of the pain.
-Currently waiting to see a neurologist for follow up
-Currently undergoing physical therapy to basically stretch the muscles and provide some heat
-Also currently undergoing aqua therapy in a pool to help get the legs moving
-Have also had 4 appointments with a licensed acupuncturist
-None of the above therapies have provided any relief and the conditions with the leg pain are still the same
I am a student at a local Bible College in Portland. I won’t say witch one as that is private information.
By using common basement materials — such as 2x4s, plaster of paris, a Bose stereo system, a stethoscope, and a bucket (among other things) — I have developed a unique PATENT PENDING technology that produces acurate and highly useful smell maps of the female body. I say “female body” because, as a Christian, I refuse to use this technology on males, as that is against Biblical Law.
These smell maps are print outs from my printer with a “heat map” of olfactory uptake of the various stink factors eminating from the woman areas of the female, as well as her general body parts, but not including the lower leg area. I am able to produce this map from any female older than 18 and younger than 30, who is willing to allow me to use my procedures on her for approximately 24 hours (not including lunch breaks). While this is a RELATIVELY non-invasive procedure, I ask that all customers bring extra goggles and socks.
I also ask that the woman not bathe for approximately 10 days beforehand.
Do you believe that my service would be a great Yule-tide gift for a loved one???
Please let me know ASAP as my back-order is filing up fast.
Thanks very much from your friend with the smell map technology.

Pure tone audiometry Vs Tuning fork tests?
For normal individuals, in pure tone audiometry, bone conduction has lower threshold than air conduction, but in Rhinne tuning fork test, why air conduction is better heard than bone conduction?
