[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n CAP-XX High Temperature Supercapacitors Named a 2008 Design News Golden \n Mousetrap Award Finalist \n \n SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 16 -- CAP-XX Limited (LSE: CPX) today announced \nthat Design News has named its H series supercapacitors as a finalist in the \n2008 Golden Mousetrap Awards for a technology advancement that extends operating \nvoltage to 5.5V and temperature rating to +85 degrees C. These high temperature \nand high voltage supercapacitors provide reliable power support to many \nelectronic devices operating to demanding specifications, including camera \nphones, energy-harvester-powered wireless sensor networks and solid state disks \n(SSDs). \n John Parker, principal engineer for UK-based Perpetuum, explained why the \ncompany chose CAP-XX H series supercapacitors to support its range of energy \nharvesting micro-generators. \"The CAP-XX supercapacitors work reliably over an \nexpanded industrial temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C, while other \nsupercapacitors are limited to between -20 and +60 degrees C.\" The Perpetuum \nself-generating power source uses CAP-XX supercapacitors to enable \nbattery-free operation for industrial condition monitoring in harsh \nenvironments. \n These annual Design News awards highlight the electronics industry's best \nproducts. \"Our Golden Mousetrap Awards give innovators the recognition they \ndeserve,\" said editor-in-chief, John Dodge. \"Their perseverance in these \nchallenging economic times is admirable.\" \n This is the second time Design News has honored CAP-XX, joining awards \nfrom Electronic Design, EDN, the European Electronics Industry, Frost and \nSullivan and the World Economic Forum. \n \n About Design News Golden Mousetrap Awards: \n For more than two decades, the Design News Awards program has recognized \nengineering innovation and creativity in product design. This year, awards \nwere given in 4 major categories: Electronics, Motion Control/Automation, \nHardware/Software and Materials/Fastening/Joining/Assembly. \n \n About CAP-XX: \n CAP-XX is a world leader in the design and manufacture of thin, flat \nsupercapacitors for space-constrained electronic devices. Supercapacitors \nresolve the performance limitations of batteries and other current-limited \npower supplies, bridging the gap between the peak power demanded by the load \nand that a...
