| 摘要 | Systems and methods are provided for determining an acceleration at a location of interest within one of a user's head and neck. At least one of linear acceleration data, angular acceleration data, angular velocity data, and orientation data is produced using at least one sensing device substantially rigidly attached to an ambient-accessible surface of the user's head. The location of interest is represented relative to a position of the at least one sensing device as a time-varying function. An acceleration at the location of interest is calculated as a function of the data produced at the sensing device and the time-varying function representing the location of interest. The calculated acceleration at the location of interest is provided to at least one of the user and an observer in a human-perceptible form. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions executable by an associated processor to perform a method for determining an acceleration at a location of interest within one of a user's head and neck, comprising: receiving at least one of linear acceleration data, angular acceleration data, angular velocity data, and orientation data using a sensor assembly substantially rigidly attached to an ambient-accessible surface of the user's head at an associated position; selecting one of a plurality of available time-varying functions representing the location of interest according to the received at least one of linear acceleration data, angular acceleration data, angular velocity data, and orientation data; calculating an acceleration at the location of interest as a function of the data produced at the sensor assembly and the time-varying function representing the location of interest as a linear combination of at least the linear acceleration and a cross-product of the angular velocity and the time-varying velocity of the center of gravity; and providing the calculated acceleration at the location of interest to at least one of the user and an observer in a human-perceptible form. | ||
