AdaptivEnergy Announces Strategic Investment and Technology Development Agreement with In-Q-Tel.HAMPTON, Va. -- Energy harvesting Energy harvesting (also known as Power harvesting or energy scavenging) is the process by which energy is captured and stored. Frequently this term is applied when speaking about small autonomous devices, like those used in sensor networks. innovator AdaptivEnergy LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , announced today that it has entered into a strategic investment and technology advancement agreement with In-Q-Tel, the independent strategic investment firm that identifies innovative technology solutions to support the mission of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA CIA: see Central Intelligence Agency. (1) (Confidentiality Integrity Authentication) The three important concerns with regards to information security. Encryption is used to provide confidentiality (privacy, secrecy). ) and the broader Intelligence Community (IC). "Our partnership with In-Q-Tel underscores the strength of our technology and the novel capabilities we bring to the table to aid national security," said Mike Rocke, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AdaptivEnergy. AdaptivEnergy's Joule-Thief[TM] is an advanced energy harvesting device that can use any movement, from the motion of a person walking, flowing air or water, or even a door opening and closing, to create and store electricity. Powered by RLP RLP Rheinland-Pfalz (state in Germany) RLP Resource Location Protocol (Cisco) RLP Radio Link Protocol RLP Remote Line Printer RLP Revolving Loan Program RLP Rotatable Log Periodic [TM] technology, this clean and green device captures vibrational energy and converts it to electrical energy which can be used to power remote sensors or to extend the battery life of handheld mobile electronic products. "AdaptivEnergy's technology offers groundbreaking capabilities in energy harvesting," said Troy M. Pearsall, In-Q-Tel's Executive Vice President of Technology Transfer. "In-Q-Tel is thrilled with the AdaptivEnergy partnership, and with the promise of further significant developments in alternatives to batteries for a wide variety of commercial and government applications." AdaptivEnergy eliminates batteries or extends battery life with its Joule-Thief[TM] energy harvester harvester, farm machine that mechanically harvests a crop. Small-grain harvesting has been mechanized to a certain extent since early times. In the modern period the first harvester to gain general acceptance was made by Cyrus McCormick in 1831 (see reaper). and reduces power consumption in devices powered with its RLP[TM] actuators. AdaptivEnergy's innovative products enable customers to create smaller handheld devices for consumer and medical applications, improve performance in industrial automation, and eliminate batteries from automated and wireless devices. AdaptivEnergy creates electrical energy and mechanical work in an environmentally and space efficient manner. About AdaptivEnergy: AdaptivEnergy is a leading innovator of miniature piezo "Piezo", derived from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or press, is a prefix used in:
vacuum tube Electron tube consisting of a sealed glass or metal enclosure from which the air has been withdrawn. It was used in early electronic circuitry to control a flow of electrons. , the ceramic materials used in AdaptivEnergy's RLP[TM] products are smaller and lighter than the magnets and copper coils in electromagnetic devices.
