A system for the acquisition and analysis of the 3D mandibular movement to be used in dental medicine
نویسندگان
چکیده
The peculiar construction of the temporomandibular joint allows the mandible to move according to six degrees of freedom. In Dental Medicine, is essential to know this movement to simulate the temporomandibular joints, to position tooth moulds in articulators and to reproduce the mandibular movements in order to insure a satisfactory occlusion. In this work a facial arc, commonly used in Dental Medicine, was adapted to use electromagnetic sensors with the purpose of acquire the 3D mandibular movement. Some parts of the chosen facial arc were redesigned, and it was developed a specific support for the sensors employed. To visualise and analyse the acquired movement it was developed a software application using LabVIEW.

متن کاملOptimizing design of 3D seismic acquisition by CRS trace interpolation
Land seismic data acquisition in most of cases suffers from obstacles in fields which deviates geometry of the real acquired data from what was designed. These obstacles will cause gaps, narrow azimuth and offset limitation in the data. These shortcomings, not only prevents regular trace distribution in bins, but also distorts the subsurface image by reducing illumination of the target formatio...
