PATENT NOTICE
U.S. Patents have been issued, or applied for, to protect the following design features:
Dive Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136), Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678), and Ascent Rate
Indicator (U.S. Patent no. 5,156,055).
DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the 500AI 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 500AI dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments
in decompression theory. Still, using the 500AI, 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.
