ATCO institutional ownership up to 194,000 per Bridge. Looks like we're getting some company. A contract announcement, and I wager that will increase. Best, Savant

From the new ATCO patent!!! US pat. 6044160 Inventor..our Mr. Norris..assignee..American Technology Corporation ======================================================== The present inventor has discovered that by individually isolating many small emitter sectors as disclosed herein, one is able to obtain tuned resonance with surprising improvement in both directionality and SPL at greater distances. The use of uniform cavities is also an advantage in manufacturing which is duplicatable and therefore predictable ====================================== specific design features in depth and curvature can be studied and refined to a most favored configuration for a desired ultrasonic/audio output ====================================== Whereas successful generation of a parametric difference wave in the prior art appears to have had only nominal volume, the present configuration generates full sound. This full sound is enhanced to impressive volume levels ======================================= The development of full volume capacity in a parametric speaker provides (.S.) significant advantages over conventional speaker systems. Most important is the fact that sound is reproduced from a relatively massless radiating element. Specifically, there is no radiating element operating within the audio range because the film is vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies. This feature of sound generation in air itself by acoustical heterodyning can substantially eliminate distortion effects, most of which are caused by the radiating element of a conventional speaker. For example, adverse harmonics and standing waves on the loudspeaker cone, cone overshoot and cone undershoot are substantially eliminated because the low mass, thin film is traversing distances in millimeters =================================== ...and much, much more.
