Legal names?
So it appears the legal name is "Heartbeat Corporation" with a lowercase B. Now this is SUPER not important, but just for the sake of accuracy: Is this their actual legal name, or is this just something like "It's okay if you wanna stylize it HeartBeat, but for this, you just gotta write it as Heartbeat cause legal reasons?" I doubt we'll change much, they pretty much stylized it HeartBeat everywhere (even outside of logos), but if it REALLY IS "Heartbeat" on a legal level, it might be worth making a note of- for this and other articles. Anyway.

Defunct date
A couple articles claim 1992 as the defunct date, but there were still copyrights being filed in 1993, as well as the Personal Trainer being released then too. One of the articles (the angel investor one), she says "they stopped business, but Im still a shareholder, despite the shares being worth nothing. maybe someone will buy the patent." could the company possibly have gone out of business in (late?) 1992, and as the Personal Trainer was probably most of the way through manufacturing etc, they got their contracts to hold out for long to actually get that 1000 unit production run to store shelves... (on that note, source that 1000 unit number. Id be interested to see if thats truly 1000 manufactured, cause that would mean that 1000 didnt exactly make it to store shelves, plus I can absolutely imagine a bunch of these languishing in the back room of some gym liquidation services, or perhaps some old massive fitness center in california etc) ANYWAY, this shouldn't be too hard to eventually nail down, just some thoughts for now.
