| Abstract | Powerless Wireless Nocturnal Bruxium Sensor Device (PWSD) measures teeth grinding forces at night. The PWSD integrates wireless power transmission, wireless data transmission technologies, and 3-D MEMS force sensor arrays which can measure distributed 3-D stationary forces but are currently unavailable with any existing MEMS bruxism measurement devices. ❧ A patent application on the PWSD technology has been filed. Advantages over conventional devices are listed as follows: no power wires or batteries are required to operate it. Also enabled by a repeater, there is no restriction on telemetric distance so that patients can stay in their home during the measurement. Furthermore, distributed 3-D stationary forces can be measured and are small in size, 4.5mm by 4.5mm with 1mm thickness for one 3-D MEMS sensor. ❧ To model the above sensor, three different approaches are taken where Statics, a Space Frame, and Ansys models are used to compare results and verify models. However, to determine whether or not the sensor can be powerless and wireless a design tool is developed which can tell the feasibility. In addition, a sample design of analog/digital hardware is simulated to illustrate an overall system structure and a data recovery process from analog signals. |
