==========================================

To Jonnie Jewell, the Lop's and others.

I am the President of Equipedic and the designer of the pad. The studies on 
oxygenated blood flow were performed By Dr. Lawrence Lavery (when he was at 
Chicago Loyola Medical) on subjects who had vascular impairment and by Texas 
A&M on general popluation subjects. The results indicated a 8-12.5% increase in 
oxygenated blood flow for those who had vascular impairment vs. control and 
10.5 to 29.97% for general population vs. control on. This study was done on 
behalf of the manufacturer, Hologenixs, LLC (www.holofiber.com). The 
temperature differentials were tested by the US military and the the 
manufacturers. The base fiber(phase change material)for temperature modulation 
is  used in bullete proof vests, helmets, clothing and gloves in military and 
law enforcement applications. The testing was performed in a heat chamber at 95 
degrees and 95% humidity using thermocouplers. The results showed as much as 13 
degree differental for helmets and as much as 7 degrees for vests when compared 
to control. The test were performed under activity for periods of 1 hour.
