Anyone know who really invented the "Sound-beam" ? - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,

todays headline news contains a link "Sound-Beam Inventor Wins $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Award" https://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7536267, saying that a lonesome guy invented the "sound-beam". But Sennheiser https://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/icm_eng.nsf/root/09859 already offers something like that since 2000, so who was the first ? Or maybe both invented it at the same time ?
