CAP-XX Supercapacitors Named Design News Award ...
CAP-XX High Temperature Supercapacitors Named a 2008 Design News Golden
Mousetrap Award Finalist
SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 16 -- CAP-XX Limited (LSE: CPX) today announced
that Design News has named its H series supercapacitors as a finalist in the
2008 Golden Mousetrap Awards for a technology advancement that extends operating
voltage to 5.5V and temperature rating to +85 degrees C. These high temperature
and high voltage supercapacitors provide reliable power support to many
electronic devices operating to demanding specifications, including camera
phones, energy-harvester-powered wireless sensor networks and solid state disks
(SSDs).
John Parker, principal engineer for UK-based Perpetuum, explained why the
company chose CAP-XX H series supercapacitors to support its range of energy
harvesting micro-generators. "The CAP-XX supercapacitors work reliably over an
expanded industrial temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C, while other
supercapacitors are limited to between -20 and +60 degrees C." The Perpetuum
self-generating power source uses CAP-XX supercapacitors to enable
battery-free operation for industrial condition monitoring in harsh
environments.
These annual Design News awards highlight the electronics industry's best
products. "Our Golden Mousetrap Awards give innovators the recognition they
deserve," said editor-in-chief, John Dodge. "Their perseverance in these
challenging economic times is admirable."
This is the second time Design News has honored CAP-XX, joining awards
from Electronic Design, EDN, the European Electronics Industry, Frost and
Sullivan and the World Economic Forum.

About CAP-XX:
CAP-XX is a world leader in the design and manufacture of thin, flat
supercapacitors for space-constrained electronic devices. Supercapacitors
resolve the performance limitations of batteries and other current-limited
power supplies, bridging the gap between the peak power demanded by the load
and that available from the source, and providing a backup power supply if the
primary power source fails.
CAP-XX supercapacitors enable manufacturers to make smaller, thinner,
longer-running and more feature-rich electronic devices such as camera phones,
SSDs, PDAs, wireless sensors and medical devices. The company is listed on the
Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in London and is based in Sydney,
Australia with sales offices in the UK and USA. For more information, visit
