PATENT NOTICE
U.S. Patents have been issued to protect the following design features:
Data Sensing and Processing Device (U.S. Patent no. 4,882,678), Dive Time Remaining (U.S. Patent no. 4,586,136), and Ascent Rate Indicator
(U.S. Patent no. 5,156,055).
DECOMPRESSION MODEL
The programs within the WISDOM 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 WISDOM dive computer model is based upon the latest research and experiments in
decompression theory. Still, using the WISDOM, just as using the U.S. Navy (or other) No Decompression Tables, is no guarantee of avoiding
decompression sickness (i.e., the bends). Every divers 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.
