Title: Point to point 5G audio and audio control signals for location of performers with graphical output of performer location
Inventor: ADRIAN GIBBY
IPC: H04R3/12
Filed: 2019-10-11
Abstract: A method for calculating delay and intensity of audio at a venue using 5G radio waves, comprising a 5G (fifth generation) transceiver connected to a performer, or a device or wearable attached to the performer, and further 5G transceivers attached to each a mixing desk, multiple amplifiers and loudspeakers. Directional antennas can be utilised throughout for location tracking. Each 5G antenna tracks the location of the performer relative to the transceivers of each loudspeaker and the signal is mixed and a delay is calculated into the loudspeakers. This makes it possible to use digital radio transmission of audio during a live performance whilst accounting for the delay (ideally less than 10-20ms) and/or latency to introduce a delay that corresponds to the natural delay due to the speed of sound in air. The location information can also be used to provide a visual indication of the location of each performer, relate that location to each audio channel, used to direct spotlights and to ensure the safety of the performers.

The golf cup equipped with a golf ball ejection device has a function such that, when a golf ball has dropped into the cup with the flagstick inserted, the movable part can be pushed down by gripping the flagstick and pushing it down by hand, whereby the bottom plate part rises through the action of the drive part to push up and eject the golf ball in the cup near the ground level. Thereafter, upon the flagstick being released from the hand, the rebound of the elastic member pushes up the movable part to return the flagstick and the bottom plate part to original positions thereof.
