| 发明名称 | Method and apparatus for aligning antennas of low-powered intra- and extra-oral electronic wireless devices | ||
| 摘要 | A method and system of aligning antennas of an intra-oral and extra-oral electronic wireless device is provided. Three-dimensional anatomical data of at least a portion of an oral cavity of a subject and at least a portion of an external ear of the subject is recorded. A spatial relationship between a landmark in the oral cavity and a landmark in the external ear is determined. A first antenna is modeled based upon the anatomical data of the oral cavity, and a second antenna is modeled based upon the anatomical data of the external ear. The antennas are configured and oriented relative to each other for optimal signal transmission based upon the recorded anatomical data of the oral cavity and ear. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of aligning antennas of an intra-oral and extra-oral electronic wireless device, comprising the steps of: recording three-dimensional anatomical data of at least a portion of an oral cavity of a subject utilizing an imaging device; recording three-dimensional anatomical data of at least a portion of an external ear of the subject utilizing the imaging device; determining a spatial relationship between a landmark in the oral cavity and a landmark in or near the external ear; modeling an intra-oral antenna based upon the recorded anatomical data of the oral cavity; and modeling an extra-oral antenna based upon the recorded anatomical data of the external ear, wherein the intra-oral and extra-oral antennas are configured and oriented relative to each other for optimal signal transmission based upon the recorded anatomical data of the oral cavity and external ear. | ||
