Fig. 7. Graph of duration of the bite cycle as a buccal mass preparation ages. The
movement monitor traces on the insets represent the relative distance between
the upper and lower beaks with respect to time. A rise in the inset traces
indicate opening. Although the cyclical beak movements became smaller and the
duration became longer as time progressed, the beak was capable of powerful
stochastic bites up to the end of the life of the preparation (in this case
2100 s).
