Zenith's original 'clicker' remote had buttons, and the company's engineers couldn't use radio signals due to interference issues. They considered encoding the signal but couldn't due to the use of 100 vacuum tubes. Instead, they developed ultrasound technology to transmit signals, which wouldn't go through walls.

A former OceanGate contractor, Antonella Wilby, testified that the company's Titan submarine, which imploded during a dive to the Titanic's wreckage, relied on an ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning system. The system generated data on the sub's velocity, depth, and position using sound pings. The information was typically automatically loaded into mapping software to keep track of the sub's location.

Aaru, an AI startup, used chatbots to predict the results of a New York Democratic primary with an accuracy of 371 votes. The co-founders, Cam Fink and Ned Koh, claim to have cracked the code for predicting accurate election results by ignoring human behavior. The poll was conducted by two 19-year-old college dropouts in Manhattan ahead of the vote, which saw George Latimer defeat incumbent Jamaal Bowman with a margin of 58.7% to 41.3%. The company's method has been praised as a potential solution to the issue of inaccurate election predictions, which has been a concern since the 2016 US presidential election.
