A lot has been published on the risks of rebreather diving. The Open Revolution™ initiative aims to put into the public domain the key information to bring the risks involved in rebreather diving down to better than for Open Circuit.

To achieve this, it provides the core information, templates and examples, to educate rebreather designers on basic precepts of life critical system design. The initiative publicises technologies that improve safety or which eliminate the primary risks, and establish standards for good design.

The Deep Life technologies in Open Revolution™ rebreathers make a dive no more hazardous than a commute on an air shuttle.

Deep Life has been able to cut the time to market, on project after project. How can we do this for you?

Cuts in time to market have been acheived in different ways, depending on the project. Reinforcing in-house teams on critical projects, or by taking on projects needed for a business at times when all the internal resources are already allocated, or simply running a critical project in parellel: adapting to the client's needs in each case.

As an example, in 2008, a client without the specialist resources needed a full custom analogue ASIC combined with an ARM processor driving an OLED display. We took the whole product from concept to tapeout in 5 months, including all firmware, test fixtures, a new broad patent, packaging, mechanical design, thermal design, pcb design, documentation for CE approval and a working demonstrator using discrete parts that is being shipped by the client while the ASIC is fabricated.

Call us today: everyone wants to reduce development lead time. Let us show you some more concrete examples, and then tailor a project to your needs.
