fellas, from last full results
Automotive applications such as truckStart, Stop-Start systems, regenerative energy capture or KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems), distributed power, hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles still present substantial opportunities for large supercapacitors. A number of CAP-XX's competitors are active in these markets, and the Board believes that the Company has significant advantages over the competition in certain applications. However, because of the significant resources that each project requires and the long time lag between product evaluation and mass production, the Board has taken the decision to focus the Company's resources on IoT applications and just a small number of key automotive projects and take a lower risk, longer-term, more patient approach to these opportunities for large supercapacitors.

mention elsewhere in results supplying VW dashboard (the Touareg R is an e-vehicle, might be in that one but prob limited numbers?)
"key automotive projects"; its the fob innit, reading between lines - its a SIGN

Estonian thunder for US and China, some doing!
Tesla wants its motors costing under 30K, manufacturing 10 mill pa, Roadrunner project, you can see excitement there. The Limiting Factor on youtube v good things Tesla.

Murata informed CAP-XX that it was exiting its non-core business including supercapacitors, to focus on multilayer ceramic capacitors and lithium batteries (rns 29/11/19)
If Tesla went elsewhere, they might end up with one of our licensees (Murata, AVX Corporation, TDK Corporation and Cornell-Dubilier Electronics Inc.). A few other good comps are in Estonia and Taiwan.

worth reminding ourselves what are the cpx patents, click on item for further description

kemet owned by yageo (taiwan), who knows if they are infringing, they'll have to have the same high cell voltage and wide operating temperature ranges and extremely low leakage current and minimum charge current, plus contain certain metals amongst other things, to be identical.

teslarati readers all wondering where the supercaps are located. umming and ahhing about powertrain applications, they've missed mentioning the key fob lol (and locks/windows/heating etc)
https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-maxwell-supercapacitors-solves-annoying-12v-battery-issues/

automotive company Continental buys their supercaps for voltage stabilization systems supporting stop/start in the Lambo and PSA Peugeot Citroen models.
Geeley, Volvo's chinese owner, for hybrid vehicles - power steering, turbocharging, energy recuperation
Also China, CRRC's e-bus production
Maxwell also bought Nesscap 2017 who produced smaller cells.
Infringed products cover the large and the small; the BCAP's the small, BMOD the larger

snap-in cap? only one of these in avx scc range, 35mm diameter, 60mm length

They look good e-inks, great stuff. Supermarket retail in the pic.
Noticed myself CDE just launched a new range of 3v cylindrical DSF. They have 156 products on Mouser. Their big seller is the DGH. Financial settlement was kept bit hush-hush wasn't it?

Photovoltaic will also be most popular before piezo and vibration, they said

another european company - Munich, indicating region will lead way on energy harvesting. GA230 is a dual-cell supercap, two 130s bolted together, hence voltage

other than the applications where cpx's products stand alone in their own right supporting lithium batteries is a major additional use. there's a growing environmental and cost concern around lithium so anything that complements and supports this is very interesting and i dont know anything else that does this better than a supercap. if there is please flag. so news on the 3v roadmap that can be made on the murata kit would be welcome.
quiet on internet news, fair enough, so getting space and fresh air on relaxing-as-hell isle of Iona; Dutchman's Cap island mile off to the NW. zzzzzzzz

Partner e-peas has just done a large funding round. EU politics and innovation commissions getting behind it on the whole.

Also partner, Powercast Corp. (USA), has been publishing new patents for energy harvesters and RFID displays too with supercap storage.

bash on both.

Chief has started to send smoke signals with a new Blog.
