HAMPTON, Virginia -- MAY 15, 2007 – Energy harvesting innovator AdaptivEnergy LLC, 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) 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 of AdaptivEnergy.

AdaptivEnergy’s Joule-Thief™ 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® 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™ energy harvester and reduces power consumption in devices powered with its RLP® 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.

HAMPTON, V.A. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- April 24, 2007, PAR Technologies, LLC is now AdaptivEnergy LLC. The change reflects the success of the company’s RLP® (Ruggedized Laminated Piezo) actuator and introduction of new Joule-Thief™ energy harvesting products which eliminate batteries or extend battery life in handheld devices.

AdaptivEnergy is led by the newly appointed CEO, Mike Rocke, who is focusing the team on green and clean technology powered by the company’s core RLP® technology. Mr. Rocke is an industry veteran from Intel and Siemens and holds patents in Hybrid Power Systems and Integrated Fuel Cell Cooling. Prior to AdaptivEnergy, he was running Rocke Capital Ventures, an investment and consulting company, which specializes in alternative energy solutions.

The RLP® is a small, powerful and rugged actuator which is ideal for applications that require mechanical work in a small form factor ranging from portable/wearable battery powered devices to complex analytical instruments. The compact planar form factor of the RLP® makes it ideal for embedding into highly integrated systems that can generate power, or use power to do mechanical work. AdaptivEnergy’s Joule-Thief™ is an advanced energy harvesting device that can use any movement, from the motion of a moving automobile, to a person walking, flowing air or water, or even a door opening and closing to create and store electricity. Powered by RLP® technology, these devices capture vibrational energy and convert it to electrical energy which can be used to power remote sensors and tracking devices or to extend the battery life of handheld mobile electronic products.

AdaptivEnergy’s products are used by tier one companies with applications in portable fuel cells, LED lighting, GPS location, thermal management, medical and life sciences products and portable handheld devices.

AdaptivEnergy (spelled as one word and pronounced as it is read) is based on the adaptability of our RLP® technology which can be used to create electrical energy or mechanical work in an environmentally and space efficient manner.
