Abstract: The enclosure comprises a seven-sided prism on which loudspeakers or other devices for sound reproduction are mounted at a substantial angle to each other. Using its primary base, speakers are angled obliquely upward. Speakers mounted on the enclosure can share a single audio signal. Multiple signals can be sent to speakers on different sides of the enclosure. It can be used as a double floor monitor, a wide-dispersion main speaker, a simultaneous combination of double floor monitor and audience-facing main speaker, or a combination of wide dispersion main speaker and a single floor monitor. It reduces the number of speaker enclosures necessary for a stage production. It can be manufactured simply and affordably from many materials using standard construction methods. The enclosure may be useful for any other application where it may be advantageous, including but not limited to, audio speakers for computer, television, radio, or music playback.

Abstract: A method for calculating delay in a distributed antenna system includes sending a ping initiation message from a remote node to a host node in a distributed antenna system. The ping initiation message uniquely identifies a first communication port of the remote node to the host node with a unique identification. The method also includes receiving a ping reply message at the remote node. The ping reply message corresponds to the ping initiation message and also uniquely identifies the first communication port of the remote node with the unique identification. The method also includes determining, at the remote node, whether the ping reply message corresponds to the first communication port of the remote node based on the unique identification. The method also includes, when the ping reply message corresponds to the first communication port of the remote node, calculating the round-trip time delay between sending the ping initiation message and receiving the ping reply message at the remote node.

Abstract: Identification bracelets for use in locations such as hospitals that require that the identification bracelet be easy to apply, resistant to common solvents, difficult to remove, and printable by means of a standard office printer with high resolution print that is resistant to wear and to common solvents. The bracelet is made up of a strip of material that is resistant to common solvents and that has adhesive on a single end of the side of the strip opposite the printed side. The bracelet is made by wrapping the bracelet around the extremity of the person being identified and attaching the end with the adhesive to the printed side. Some versions include tabs on the end with the adhesive. The adhesive extends to the tabs and when the end with the adhesive has been attached to the printed side, the tabs are folded under and attached to the unprinted side.
