Abstract: The present invention provides a MIMO transmission method for discrete modulated signals. The method is mainly characterized in maximizing the mutual information of symbol vectors of a transmitter and a receiver by joint optimization of a source distribution and a precoding matrix. When the current precoding matrix G is determined, the distribution of source multi-dimensional vectors x is maximized by a Lagrange multiplier method to maximize a source entropy; and when the distribution of the current source multi-dimensional vectors x is determined, the precoding matrix G is optimized by a gradient descent method to maximize the mutual information of the transmitted and received vectors. The transmission rate approximates the Shannon limit under a MIMO scenario by joint optimization of the source distribution and the precoding matrix.

Abstract: A training method for evaluating the bonding accuracy of orthodontic brackets is provided. The evaluation method includes a training device for racket bonding accuracy evaluation which includes virtual teeth with root-shaped connectors and an evaluation base to fix the virtual teeth. Multiple reference lines are marked on the evaluation base, and their intersection is set as the evaluation point.

Moreover, thanks to their horizontal arrangement, when there are multiple virtual teeth, the evaluation of bracket bonding would be more intuitive and efficient than using the traditional articulator.
