October 2008
Have successfully delivered custom modified beta units for wetsuits to a Major Sea and Animal park within the United States.  This was a special custom order, that we do not plan to repeat with other businesses.  We are in the process of looking to sell the patent and business to a company with a proven track record in manufacturing, and product introduction.  We are looking for sound companies who can leverage and promote this product in the best of every manner.  * The product has been sought out by Medical, Rescue & Safety, Sporting, Fire Departments, Military, and all forms of water recreation users, from general swimmers, to Kayakers, to Body-Surfers.  Its appeal has been universal, from both land and sea.

May-June, 2007
Major Corporation orders prototypes in a modified form for the purpose of integrating into wetsuits. This new design will provide improved safety, given their animal trainers unique working conditions.  This Corporation recognized the miniaturized unique importance of our product after reviewing every emergency air system available.  Testing has been successfully completed.  Work is now underway to customize their wetsuits to house Second Breath.

January, 2007
NOAH Second Breath USPTO Patent No. 7156092, issued on 01/02/2007.

A Purchase Order of 2000 units of Second Breath has been issued by a major U.S. corporation. Another major U.S. sporting goods retailer and a number of U.S. and international distributors and wholesalers are in place as we finalize the last round of product upgrades, specs and manufacturing details and contracts.

December, 2006
Second Breath has been tested very successfully in multiple markets, with firm interests to purchase, distribute and license the product. We are now ready to begin production. This production stage will also see additional improvements in ease of use and weight reduction by moving to polymers from aluminum. We are currently seeking financial partners to move forward. If you have any desire to be a part of a ground breaking new invention, with a demand market in place, please contact us.

A Major U.S. corporation makes contact with us showing great interest in Second Breath as a smart and novel device for their staff's safety needs.

July, 2006
NOAH Second Breath receives USPTO Patent approval.

September-December, 2005
Since the completion of the two upgraded models in September, Second Breath has been successfully tested by well-known professional big wave surfers in Hawaii as well as military-affiliated and other safety/rescue professionals. In the words of one professional, "...this is 100% go!" Minor improvements and upgrades will be underway.

July, 2005
We are one step closer to completing the upgraded Second Breath. Here's a sneak preview. A testing and validation phase will take place shortly. Stay tuned.


 


Figure A is the original model, updated for a lighter, more streamlined look and fit.

Figure B is the smaller model, perfect for the recreational user, light weight, low profile with all the life-saving features of the original model.

The original fastening system has been replaced with an ingeniously designed apparatus for a more secure and comfortable fit. Both the air refill as well as the air intake mechanisms have been redesigned for easy operation.

June, 2005
For those of you who have been waiting patiently for the upgraded Second Breath, the wait is almost over. It's looking great, we're very excited. We are currently putting the finishing touches on the full model as well as the smaller, more streamlined model. A testing and validation phase will follow. For those already on our distributor and partner list, more information will be forthcoming in the coming weeks. Please bear with us just a little longer - quality and innovation can't be rushed, and shouldn't. Check back soon for further update.

February, 2005
As a result of our recent trade shows and invaluable customer input, along with our continual commitment to review and upgrade our products, we are making several improvements to enhance the reliability and ease of use of  Second Breath. Production will begin once these upgrades are made and tested. These upgrades include:
Streamlining the size and weight of current model
Changing the current Velcro strap to the more secure snap-in buckle
Improving the durability and reliability of the mouthpiece
Enhancing the integrity against any potential for air leak
Developing a second lighter, smaller model

January, 2005
We are currently seeking to secure exclusive distributors for Second Breath. Plans are underway to finalize distributorship terms and other details. We expect to be awarding our worldwide exclusive distributorships within the next 60 days. Interested parties should submit contact info and a brief description of your business and geographic coverage. We will contact you with details of the distributorship and keep you abreast of the progress.


The Super Show: 17-19 January, 2005
The World of Sports Innovations
Orlando, Florida, Orange County Convention Center

Another great showing! The reception toward Second Breath was equally enthusiastic, this time from a broader, overall sports market, not just water sports. The responses from attendees, buyers and other exhibitors were identical, echoing that of the Surf Expo earlier in the month (see below). While the responses were overwhelmingly enthusiastic from within the US, the Super Show also attracted a greater international presence than the Surf Expo, providing us with invaluable feedback and insight into numerous overseas markets. Aside from one gentleman who flew in from Scandinavia specifically to see us and Second Breath, we also received enormous interests from Asia, Latin America, Europe and Australia and New Zealand.


Surf Expo: 7-9 January, 2005
Orlando, Florida, Orange County Convention Center
www.surfexpo.com
The response toward the public debut of Second Breath was overwhelmingly positive. Show-attendees and other exhibitors were seeking us out during the three days via word-of-mouth. We received some great input and feedback from potential users, as well as invaluable connections and trade possibilities. Quite a few people (including other inventors) thought Second Breath is the single most innovative product they had seen in recent years. Aside from the functionality of Second Breath, Surf Expo visitors were also very taken by the overall design and hi-tech appeal of brushed aluminum. We've also discovered some unexpected new user segments, such as free-diving, spear fishing and deep powder skiing, among others. In addition to the water sports applications, lifeguards, fire rescue professionals and others involved in the rescue segment also showed tremendous interest and enthusiasm.
