Description
Calculate a voice cycle's supplied open-phase fraction.
ENT records use explicit laterality, event markers, sampling clocks, collection volumes and anatomical/source labels. A rate or point resistance needs compatible units, while video timing depends on frame-rate assumptions. These local measurements and records do not detect a clinical event, assess airway function or choose treatment.
Calculate a voice cycle's supplied open-phase fraction.
When to use this tool
Use Voice Open Phase Cycle Fraction when you already have openPhaseDuration, cycleDuration and need to calculate a voice cycle's supplied open-phase fraction.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter openPhaseDuration, cycleDuration. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read openFraction, closedDuration. Use the output convention below.
Require cycleDuration>0 and openPhaseDuration within the cycle; return open/cycle and cycle-open as closedDuration.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| openPhaseDuration | Open Phase Duration | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| cycleDuration | Cycle Duration | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| openFraction | Open Fraction | Required. Finite number. |
| closedDuration | Closed Duration | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Durations need matching units; no laryngeal phase, signal, vocal function or diagnosis is detected.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the original signal, collection protocol and video acquisition timing for the actual measurement. Preserve supplied side and site sources; a local volume/time rate, frame offset or point ratio does not replace a complete functional assessment.
