Olympic Ski Events Offer Glimpse into Emerging New Power Source from Advanced Cerametrics, Inc.; Austrian Ski Team to Utilize Head Intelligence(TM) Skis with Smart Active Fibers from ACI, Inc.

LAMBERTVILLE, N.J.--Feb. 9, 2006--Advanced Cerametrics Corporation announced today that their smart fibers would give some members of the Austrian ski team a competitive edge. The fibers, a new power source technology, called piezoelectric fiber composites (PFC's), are embedded in the Head Intelligence(TM) line of skis. Combined with power conversion electronics the fibers actively control torsional stability as skier's race downhill.

The new technology is deemed legal by sporting authorities because it does not involve any external power sources. Rather, the piezo fibers harvest the energy of the constantly changing speed, terrain and snow conditions and convert it to control torsional stability effectively keeping the ski edge on the snow longer.

"There's incredible interest from many industries around ACI's energy harvesting technology. Last year Head's Protector Tennis racket, which uses the same type of fibers was selected 'Racket of the Year' by Tennis Magazine. This technology is enabling embedded electronics, powering wireless sensors and other low power electronics without batteries or plugs," said Bud Cass, CEO, Advanced Cerametrics. "Energy harvesting technology such as this is allowing computing and communication devices to become embeddable as extreme life power supplies obviate the need for batteries."

Piezoelectric fibers are a relatively new smart material that enable energy to be harvested from ambient motion, vibration and strain. Mission critical loads or harsh environments are ideal applications as the piezo power source can eliminate the need for batteries. The technology is inexpensive, reliable and robust.
