    摘要: An electromechanical system, the system comprising a first surface with an electrically activated electrode coupled to the first surface and to an electrical source to receive a first signal. The system further comprising a moveable structure suspended at a first height over the first surface, the moveable structure being attracted toward the electrode based upon the first signal, and the moveable structure being attracted toward the first surface through an interaction with one or more parasitic forces. The systems also provides a landing post coupled to the moveable structure, the landing post being adapted to contact the base of the landing post against the first surface when the electrically activated electrode receives a predetermined voltage bias associated with the first signal, thereby maintaining an outer portion of the moveable structure free from physical contact with the first surface and reducing a magnitude of one or more parasitic forces.

    摘要: A DTMF digit detecting method and apparatus includes signal state identifier (32) for identifying whether the received signal is in a DTMF-digit-detect state, a no-detect high-energy state, or a no-detect low-energy state, digit candidate identification processor (34) for identifying a digit candidate when the presence of a state other than the no-detect low-energy state is detected following a detection of the presence of the no-detect low-energy state for a first predetermined period of time, digit identifier (32) for identifying a DTMF digit corresponding to a sample group in a DTMF-digit-detect state, and valid digit identifier (34) for identifying a valid DTMF digit when at least a first predetermined number of sample groups are all in the DTMF-digit-detect state or in an allowable combination of states. An allowable combination of states exists provided the following conditions are met: (1) at least half of the first predetermined number of sample groups are in the DTMF-digit-detect state and correspond to the same DTMF digit; (2) no two sequential sample groups are in a state other than the DTMF-digit-detect state; and (3) no two sequential sample groups in the DTMF-digit-detect state correspond to one or more DTMF digits other than the DTMF digit corresponding to at least half of the first predetermined number of sample groups.

    摘要: A device for accelerating tooth movement under orthodontic treatment is disclosed. The device includes a vibrational source and a patient-specific tray. The device applies vibrational forces with prescribed frequency and intensity to the teeth under orthodontic treatment with traditional appliances, such as bracket-wire system or aligner. The patient-specific tray ensures the vibrational stimulations on the teeth to be moved. The level of stimulation intensity can be controlled by varying the preload on each of the teeth based on the clinician's prescription. The tray can be further modified to ensure continuous delivery of the desired vibrational forces on the teeth when they move during the treatment.
