The 3ms criterion commonly used to measure potential for chest injury.

Syntax

sd = ClipContinuous(time, accel, window, mode)

Arguments

Name

Description

time

The time vector of data to analyze (in seconds).

accel

The acceleration vector.  Must match length of time vector and be real only.

window

The window width (in seconds - usually 0.003 for chest).

mode

0 to output the clip sort value.

1 to output the clip duration value.

Outputs

Name

Description

Sd

The sort or duration value of the clip window.

Example

Find the clip window sort value for a pair of time and acceleration vectors.

Syntax

s = ClipContinuous(time, accel, 0.003, 0)

Results

s = the sort value

Comments

Computes the maximum value that the linear interpolation of a time series (typically a chest resultant acceleration filtered to a 300 Hz cutoff) that meets or exceeds for an interval of at least 3 ms, based on the linearly interpolated time series.
