Methods And Apparatus For Aligning Antennas Of Low-Powered Intra- And Extra-Oral Electronic Wireless Devices
US Patent:
8622885, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:
Feb 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/708569
Inventors:
Barry L. Mersky - Bethesda MD, US
Assignee:
Audiodontics, LLC - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
G02C 11/06
US Classification:
600 25, 381312, 381151
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the design and optimal placement of transmitting and receiving directional antennas, a priori, as used in intra-oral to extra-oral (or visa versa) wireless electronic systems regardless of the type and purpose of the data transmitted between the antennas (intra-oral and extra-oral). Systems related to the invention transmit data via electromagnetic radio waves or through an inductive loop coupling such as in stimulating the human hearing nerve (inner ear) via dental bone conduction pathway when operating in “receive mode”. “Send mode” systems related to the invention transmit non-acoustic information or voice data from inside the mouth to a receiver located outside the mouth.
Method And Apparatus For Endodontically Augmenting Hearing
US Patent:
5033999, Jul 23, 1991
Filed:
Oct 25, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/426176
Inventors:
Barry L. Mersky - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
H04R 2500
US Classification:
600 25
Abstract:
An audiodontic device includes a transducer implanted in a dental post hole drilled into a root canal of a tooth, preferably a maxillary molar. The transducer imparts vibratory signals to the tooth in response to applied audio signals. A precision attachment device includes a female connector embedded in a dental crown of electrically non-conductive material covering a built-up core and through which electrical leads, or the like, extend to transducer terminals located at the core periphery. Audio signals are delivered to the transducer from a radio receiver or induction loop embedded in an insulative housing contoured for buccal or lingual vestibular mounting adjacent the tooth, or disposed in a denture or retainer. In either case, a male connector for the precision attachment conducts the received audio signal from the receiver to the tooth. The female connector includes a channel contoured to slidably receive the male connector to thereby firmly hold the receiver housing in place while maintaining the necessary electrical contact to pass the received audio signal to the transducer.
System And Method For Measuring And Recording Skull Vibration In Situ
US Patent:
8376967, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Apr 13, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/759206
Inventors:
Barry L. Mersky - Bethesda MD, US
Assignee:
Audiodontics, LLC - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
H04R 29/00, H04R 25/00, A61B 5/00, A61B 5/103, A61B 5/11
US Classification:
600590, 381151, 381312, 381317, 381380, 600 25, 600552, 600587, 600595
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for measuring and recording skull vibration in situ comprising a receiving means, a dental material capable of filling any gaps between the receiving means and the at least one tooth, the material capable of transmitting mechanical vibration within the dental bone conduction pathway to the receiving means; a transducer mounted into or unto the receiving means said transducer capable of transducing mechanical vibration within the dental bone conduction pathway into electrical signals; an extra-orally recordation hardware and software capable of receiving and processing said electrical signals from said transducer.
