We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ultracapacitors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ultracapacitors chosen for automotive project from
Maxwell Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ultracapacitors provide a reservoir of standby power to ensure stable functioning of the vehicle's electrical system when multiple power demands tax the system".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Hybrids to marry batteries and ultracapacitors from
Maxwell Technologies: "Maxwell Technologies and Tianjin Lishen Battery are to produce novel 'hybrid' energy storage products combining ultracapacitor and Li-ion battery technologies".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Tecate Industries
concerning its PC, BC and MC Boostcap ultracapacitors
- take a look at Web service improves ultracapacitor availability
which says: "Boostcaps are specified for use in a wide array of applications including providing, holding up, or bridging power until the back-up power source kicks in after the primary power source fails".
Take a look also at the news release from Maxwell Technologies, Ultracapacitors bridge the UPS backup gap,
as well as Ultracapacitors go on show from Maxwell Technologies,
and Chinese plant set to start on ultracapacitors from Maxwell Technologies.
