Determination of structural characteristics of an object

A device that gently taps an object, like a tooth, and then measures how it vibrates or dampens the sound to assess its structural health. It's designed for consistent placement and can adjust the tapping force based on the tooth type or position, using disposable parts for hygiene.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread advancements in embedded processing and machine learning could easily interpret subtle mechanical responses from teeth. This could simplify calibration and improve diagnostic accuracy for various tooth types.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPrecision percussion, sensors, control electronics, positioning.
