1. jawbone

   In anatomy, the mandible, lower jaw or jawbone is the largest, strongest and lowest bone in the human facial skeleton. It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place. The mandible sits beneath the maxilla. It is the only movable bone of the skull (discounting the ossicles of the middle ear). It is connected to the temporal bones by the temporomandibular joints. The bone is formed in the fetus from a fusion of the left and right mandibular prominences, and the point where these sides join, the mandibular symphysis, is still visible as a faint ridge in the midline. Like other symphyses in the body, this is a midline articulation where the bones are joined by fibrocartilage, but this articulation fuses together in early childhood.The word "mandible" derives from the Latin word mandibula, "jawbone" (literally "one used for chewing"), from mandere "to chew" and -bula (instrumental suffix).

1. Jawbone

   The Jawbone is a line of Bluetooth mobile phone headsets produced by Aliph Inc, a privately held San Francisco-based consumer technology company founded by Alexander Asseily and Hosain Rahman in 1999. Since the introduction of the line in December 2006, it has been widely regarded as one of the best Bluetooth headsets available. The current model in the line is the Jawbone Era, which, like other models, sports a skin contact microphone that comes in contact with the wearer's face and gives the line its name. A defining feature of the Jawbone line is the integration of Aliph's NoiseAssassin adaptive signal processing technology, which was originally developed for DARPA to reduce communication background noise in military environments.
