PATENT NOTICE
U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:
Graphic Diver Interface, Pre Dive Planning Sequence, Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678), Tissue Loading Bar
Graph (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,687), and Variable Ascent Rate Indicator Bar Graph (U.S. Patent no. 5,156,055).
DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the DataPlus simulate the absorption of nitrogen into the body by using a mathematical model. This model is merely a
way to apply a limited set of data to a large range of experiences. The DataPlus dive computer model is based upon the latest research and
experiments in decompression theory. Still, using the DataPlus, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables,
is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness, i.e. "the bends." Every diver's physiology is different, and can even vary from day
to day. No machine can predict how your body will react to a particular dive profile.
