Is an American inventor. One of the invention was for NASA.
The story went something like this...
NASA invited Mr.Norris to Houston and met with a group of about 20 NASA engineers. They want to know if the radio could be designed to eliminate the microphone boon? He told them yes, it's possible. "Rather than transmitting the sound through the air, he told them that "I'll just transmit the sound through the bones in their head." The room erupted in laughter. They thought I was full of shit. In one month Mr.Norris technology went on to be used by NASA and became the basis for the JABRA EarSet.
Here is just a few of his Patents.
