FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 09, 2020
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – A new way to battle the current pandemic is on the horizon — and it will come in the form of a non-evasive hat and/or visor designed to be more comfortable than wearing an N95 style Face Mask.
Approved by The Food and Drug Administration as a Class II regulated device (product code OSZ) to be effective against the SARS-CoV-2 Virus that causes the COVID-19 Disease.
U.S. Federal and Private funding efforts have been successful to date. The company plans to launch a Crowdfunding effort on September 30, 2020 to generate product awareness and encourage advance orders.
Parties interested in providing marketing support are invited to visit the company’s affiliate marketing platform. Details can be found at www.Kickbooster.me

MADE IN THE USA IS A CHALLENGE THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
The company www.8619.org is currently exploring options to secure strategic alliances that will enable the company to manufacture the product in the USA. Qualified parties are invited to Email the company at info@8619.org
The DEFENDER, a collaborative brainchild of Dr. N. Chandra Sekhar and Captain Kenny LLC, is designed to provide a personal non-evasive energy shield that sanitizes airborne pathogens before they enter the human body. The UVC technology is housed under the bill of the cap or visor.
“The DEFENDER’s technology is based on currently applied physics,” said Capt. Kenny. “Studies at both Columbia University and Penn State University that pre-date COVID-19 and recent research articles published in the National Library of Medicine and the Center for Radiological Research, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, have taken on new relevance since the outbreak of the current pandemic.”
Kenny said, “The DEFENDER’s invisible protective field disrupts the pathogen’s DNA and RNA processes, inactivating microorganisms and making it impossible for the virus to replicate or infect human cells.”
Wearing the device could be a game changer in how society moves forward and recovers from the pandemic, enabling wearers to again visit crowded, enclosed areas and avoid contracting the virus.
“People will now have more freedom to visit enclosed public places like restaurants, elevators, airplanes, offices, shops and schools, knowing that they have a much greater measure of protection,” he added.
The DEFENDER energy shield cap and/or visor is scheduled to be available to the public in February, 2021 and distributed by 8619.org - a Daytona Beach, Florida company.

Doctor Develops Personalized Solution to COVID-19 Threat
The DEFENDER is More Effective than an N95 Face Mask
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 10, 2020
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – A new way to battle COVID-19 is on the horizon — and it will come in the form of a non-evasive hat or visor designed for comfort and much more effective than an N95 mask in preventing the Coronavirus.
A face mask is not designed to protect the wearer. It is designed to protect others.
The Center for Disease Control states “The mask is meant to protect other people in case you are infected."
Medical experts say the virus can be contracted through the eyes – just as through the mouth or nose. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, virus particles spray from their mouth or nose onto the face of others in proximity.
“These droplets are most likely to be inhaled through your nose or mouth, but they can also enter the body through the eyes,” said Viral Juthani, M.D., assistant professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
The DEFENDER, a collaborative brainchild of Dr. N. Chandra Sekhar and Captain Kenny LLC, and supported by the Arrow Electronics Certification Program, provides a personal non-evasive energy shield that sanitizes airborne pathogens before they enter the human body. The technology is housed under the bill of the cap or visor.
“The DEFENDER’s technology is based on currently applied physics,” said Capt. Kenny. “Studies at both Columbia University and Penn State University that pre-date COVID-19 and recent research articles published in the National Library of Medicine and the Center for Radiological Research, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, have taken on new relevance since the outbreak of the current pandemic.”
Kenny said, “The DEFENDER’s invisible protective field disrupts the pathogen’s DNA and RNA processes, inactivating microorganisms and making it impossible for the virus to replicate or infect human cells.”
Wearing the device could be a game changer in how society moves forward and recovers from the pandemic, enabling wearers to again visit crowded, enclosed areas and avoid contracting the virus.
“People will now have more freedom to visit enclosed public places like restaurants, elevators, airplanes, offices, shops and schools, knowing that they have a much greater measure of protection,” he added.
The DEFENDER energy shield cap and/or visor will be available to the public in December and distributed by 8619.org - a Daytona Beach, Florida company.

Sekhar received his doctorate in electronics and embedded systems and has worked in electronics design and development for more than 15 years.
CAPTAIN KENNY LLC, a Daytona Beach, FL based company, has been designing and marketing wearable fitness and health devices since 2016.
The DEFENDER & Arrow Electronics
Captain Kenny LLC is connected to electronics designer N. Chandra Sekhar, Ph.D. from the ArrowPlus on-demand engineering platform to help support this product development. The company is also working with Arrow Electronics, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, through their project’s acceptance in the Arrow Certification Program. As part of the program, this project, has achieved Arrow Certified Technology, indicating that an engineer from Arrow has deemed the DEFENDER design feasible for manufacturing.

Using UV technology proven in Columbia, Penn State research studies
DAYTONA BEACH – While much of the medical research world has been focused on finding a vaccine and other short-term pharmaceuticals to use against the COVID-19 pandemic, a Daytona Beach-based firm, 8619.org, is focusing on scientific technology to prevent people from contracting the coronavirus.
The company is developing a wearable UV germicide irradiation device using far-UVC technology.
The company says the product, dubbed The DEFENDER is designed to eradicate airborne viruses before the pathogens can enter the human body and infect an individual.
“The DEFENDER is based on currently applied physics,” said 8619 founder K.H. Lamkin. He said studies at both Columbia University in New York City and Penn State University that pre-date COVID-19 have taken on new relevance in recent months.
He said 8619’s DEFENDER technology disrupts COVID-19’s DNA and RNA processes, inactivating micro-organisms and making it impossible for the virus to replicate or infect human cells.
Dr. David Brenner at Columbia University, professor of radiation biophysics and director of the school’s Center for Radiological Research, studied using UVC light to fight viruses for years.
Dr. Brenner’s findings indicate that far-UVC light, in a 222 nm wavelength destroys airborne viruses while being safe for humans and is a critical tool in the battle against COVID-19 and other viruses.
“Far-UVC light has the potential to be a game-changer,” said Dr. Brenner. “It can be safely used in occupied public spaces, and it kills pathogens in the air before we can breathe them in. Far-UVC takes a fundamentally different tactic in the war against COVID-19.
Most approaches focus on fighting the virus once it has gotten into the body. Far-UVC is one of the very few approaches that have the potential to prevent the spread of viruses before they enter the body,” he added.
His research indicates the use of overhead far-UVC light in hospitals, schools, airports, airplanes, transit stations and vehicles, and other public places could provide a powerful check on the transmission of COVID-19.
Dr. Brenner recently consulted with New York’s Metropolitan Transit Agency (MTA), which plans to install far-UVC lighting on trains and buses.
The Magnolia Bakery in New York City plans to install far-UVC lighting at two of its New York locations.
Researchers at Penn State, the University of Minnesota, Germany’s Ferdinand Braun Institute and the Technical University of Berlin and two Japanese universities are currently testing the safety and efficiency of far-UFC with humans.
Although the science behind germicidal UV has been around for decades, the Centers for Disease Control and FEMA only started to recommend the use of UV light in hospitals over the past 10-15 years.
8619’s wearable DEFENDER is projected to be available to the public during the fourth quarter of this year.
