Presentation transcript:

The design of the cell-phone implant :  A small chip that houses a receiver to pick up mobile signals.  A transducer to translate them into vibrations.  Implant's microprocessor, located on the back of the ear.  The device is implanted in a person’s molar.  The transducer causes the tooth to vibrate in response to radio signals. Because of the structure of the jaw and the sensory nerves in the human head, the vibration is carried to the inner ear where the user, and no one else could perceive them as sound. Excuse Me, Is Your Tooth Ringing? Cell Phone Implant

 Six-axis piezoelectric accelerometer is attached to the angle of the mandible, or the jawbone.  Detects when the jaw opens and closes or moves from side to side, detect head movements using crystals that change shape when the head moves. These crystals create electrical pulses in a flexible circuit and conductive ink carry the accelerometer’s electrical impulses to the implant’s microprocessor located on the back of the ear. Excuse Me, Is Your Tooth Ringing?

As crazy as it may sound to some, cell phone implants have been the topic of technological research discussions for a long time.. In fact, deserves attention because it pushes our thinking about the range of possibilities in a world where technology is getting smaller and smaller and human- machine interfaces are becoming increasingly possible. Excuse Me, Is Your Tooth Ringing?

With your jawbone playing antenna and your head the receiver set, your newly enhanced teeth could allow you to hear the alarm clock without waking your partner, tune into your favorite music and even receive stock market information while you're out playing golf. Making the device ideal for spies, and for people who want to listen to the baseball game at work. Excuse Me, Is Your Tooth Ringing?
