Elliott TCB 684 West Maude Ave. Sunnyvale, CA.94085 February 15,2008 Dear Examiner: I am writing to avoid the possibility of an inadvertent disclosure of proprietary information. The accompanying Form 731 is being filed with the commission on our behalf by Elliott Laboratories, Inc., a consulting and testing laboratory. Included as exhibits with the enclosed application are block diagrams, schematics, and a detailed description of the theory of operation of the device. It is our intention to provide the commission with a full disclosure of our product so that its merits can be evaluated. Indeed, we are pleased to provide any further information that the commission might wish to see. It is not our intention, however, to make our proprietary process amatter of public record. In view of the factthat the block diagrams, schematics, and associated theory of operation disclose the mechanism of our process, we ask that these portions (block diagrams, schematics, and theory of operation) of our application be withheld from public inspection as provided under FCC section 0.459. These documents contain details of the proprietary operation of product. These details are not readily discernible - even to technically sophisticated individuals - from our hardware and constitute trade secrets. We request therefore that these documents and this letter be segregated from the body of our evaluation report and withheld from public inspection. Thank you for your attention. Please let the undersigned know if the Commission disagrees with our position or requires further justification. Sincerely, w,or4 Mike Dornbrook VP Operations Hdrmonlx ML,slc SUStems, lnc. . beS M€ssdchusetts A\/e. . Cdmbrlctee, MA www.lr€rmonlxmL,slc.com . Phone 6l7.q9l.6ll-lq . Fdx 617.q9l.74ll oetJ9

RF Exposure Info

RF Exposure Calculations The device is a portable device (i.e. intended to be worn on the body or be hand-held). The out put power (peak) is 4.7dBm (2.9mW) and the antenna gain is nominally –0.8dBi, which gives an effective isotropic radiated power of 2.4mW. Without taking into account the protocol limited duty cycle 1 of 12.15%, the eirp is well below the low threshold of 60/f(GHz), or 25mW, above which SAR evaluation would be required for a portable device. Frequency MPE Limit (mW/cm 2 ) Output Power (mW) Max. Antenna Gain (dBi) EIRP (mW) Pd at 20cm (mW/cm 2 ) Distance where Pd = limit (cm) 2402 to 2482 MHz 1.00 2.9 -0.8 2.4 0.0005 0.4 As the output power and eirp are both below the low threshold no SAR evaluation is required and the device may be used in portable applications without further rf exposure assessment. 1 The system in which this device is used allows the device a maximum transmit time of 972us in any 8ms period for the controller. The average output power, using a 10log(duty cycle) correction to the peak output power, would have an eirp of approximately 0.3mW.
