I saw that cp_student made a post about Ron Meritt over in the great inventions all time section http://www.inventionexposure.com/content/inventions-ron-meritt
I worked with Ron Meritt through SIFE for my senior project. He just recently invented a product of his called the MiCorderâ„¢. With the MiCorderâ„¢ you can plug it into any radio, computer, stereo, etc. and convert any song currently being played into an mp3. More info can be found at http://www.olenstechnology.com/ about the product.
On the olens technology website there is also the XPJ projector that Ron engineered and has manufactured in China.
