Acumentrics Corporation Announces New Ruggedized Uninterruptible Power Solution in a "2U" Chassis.Smaller and Lighter to Meet Expanding Mission Equipment Needs WESTWOOD, Mass. -- Acumentrics Corporation, an industry leader in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells A Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material and, as the name implies, the SOFC has a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte. (SOFC SOFC Solid Oxide Fuel Cell ) and Rugged Uninterruptible Power Supplies See UPS. (hardware) Uninterruptible Power Supply - (UPS) A battery powered power supply unit that is guaranteed to provide power to a computer in the event of interruptions in the incoming mains electrical power. (Rugged-UPS(TM)) for mission critical military and industrial applications, has introduced a lighter, more compact 2U fully Rugged-UPS(TM) product line. Models with a rugged 2U chassis design are available in 850VA, 1250VA or 1650VA versions. Development of the new product line is the direct result of customer demand for smaller and lighter units to increase available rack space needed to meet expanding mission electronics requirements. The standard measure of component height in a mounting rack is 1.75 inches, a "U". The new 2U versions are 3.5 inches high and are half the size of Acumentrics' previous 1250VA and 2500VA models. In addition to meeting industry reliability standards, the new units offer 10% higher power Higher power is a term used in a 12-step program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, to describe "a power greater than yourself." Although many participants equate their higher power with God, a belief in God or in formal religion is not mandatory; the higher power is intended as a conversion efficiency than claimed by competitors, so that less energy is required to generate the required output power. Acumentrics' flow-through heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. design enables more complete chassis sealing to protect internal components from dirt, debris, rain, humidity and other potential contaminants. An optional extended run battery pack enables the units to provide up to 30 minutes of back-up power at full load. "Weighing 50% less than the previous models, the new 2U products are ideal for mobile applications and their smaller size are an ideal fit for transit cases," said VP of Operations Ersson Zapata. "The decreased size and weight will reduce our customers' transportation costs." Gary Simon, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

We will continue to execute development activities to ensure that we maintain the innovative and high standards that our customers have come to expect from us." 2U product specifications are available at the Acumentrics web site, www.acumentrics.com.
