Unfortunately, no. I guess every dive computer vendor would have their
own. It is being referred in the Vyper manual in those words:

"the OTU monitoring is based on the long-term daily tolerance level and
the recovery rate is reduced"

Maybe we could get something out of
http://www.oceanwreckdivers.com/images/tolerating_exposure_to_high_oxygen_levels.PDF
and have a representation of the remaining allowable oxygen dose.

I think that PADI is always using a value of around 300 though they are
not using directly OTUs.
