Cymbet Corporation has been honoured with a Sensors' "Best of Sensors Expo 2009" bronze award. Cymbet won this award for its EnerChip™ EH CBC5300 energy harvesting module which is a key enabler for autonomous wireless sensor networks.
The Cymbet Team demonstrated every type of energy harvesting at the Sensors Expo Show. As the world leader in solid state thin film energy storage and micro energy harvesting solutions, they have been working with partners from around the world to create autonomous wireless sensors using:
- Light using photovoltaic panels, both fixed and flex
- Temperature gradients using thermoelectric generators
- Motion and vibration using piezoelectric elements
- RF Induction using both near field and far field techniques
- Flow using a mini wind turbine
Sensors Expo & Conference is the leading sensor event in North America exclusively focusing on sensors and sensor-integrated systems. The Sensors "Best of Sensors Expo" awards honour the most exciting new products that were on display at the Sensors Expo & Conference. All entries were judged on the basis of potential impact, application, distinctiveness, timeliness and availability.
The Cymbet EnerChip EH CBC5300 module is an advanced micro energy harvesting solution that efficiently captures energy from photovoltaic cells and other energy harvesting transducers, stores the energy and manages power distribution to the rest of the device. At the heart of this 24-pin DIP module is the EnerChip thin-film battery that offers a truly unique combination in battery technology: fast charge times, >5000 recharges, reflow solderable and eco-friendliness. With a small form factor, the highly rechargeable, solid-state, thin-film EnerChip battery can be economically and reliably integrated as an embedded device or as a surface-mounted component.
"We are honoured to receive this prestigious Best of Show award from Sensors," said Bill Priesmeyer Cymbet President and CEO. "This recognition is another validation that our EnerChips are a key enabler in energy harvesting-based devices, embedded electronics and wireless sensor applications. We are looking forward to working with our customers to bring exciting new products to market."
