August 02, 2006 //

Fuel-cell developer, Bac2, has added to its board as it strengthens the management team following a recently-completed ˣ500,000 investment round.


LONDON — Fuel-cell developer, Bac2, has added to its board as it strengthens the management team following a recently-completed À£500,000 investment round.

James Lewis joins Bac2 (Southampton, England) as chairman and director of sales and marketing, and Michael Burrow as non-executive director. Both are also investors in the company.

Lewis (left) is an electronics engineer and entrepreneur who has worked in Europe and the U.S. He co-founded Oxford Semiconductor in 1992 and headed up its sales and marketing activities, as it became a global business with 150 employees. After returning to the U.K. from the U.S. Lewis formed Parallaxis to apply his experience and knowledge in supporting start-up and small hi-tech companies to realize their full potential.

Burrow (right) is a former investment banker with 25 years' experience in corporate finance, specializing in M&A, IPOs, equity issues and other capital markets transactions. Most recently, he was managing director at Lehman Brothers in London with overall responsibility for the bank's strategic relationships with clients. Prior to this, Burrow was financial adviser to the Philippines for the development of major industrial projects, structural engineer with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in Chicago and software developer for Ove Arup & Partners in London.

"We are very fortunate to have the support of both James and Michael as we move into the commercialization phase of our business. The fact that these highly experienced individuals have also chosen to invest in Bac2 speaks volumes for their belief in our ability to produce technically and commercially attractive components for the emerging fuel cell market, said Bac2's CEO, Mike Stannard.

Bac2 is the developer of ElectroPhen, an electrically conductive polymer used to produce bi-polar plates for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells.

Analog designers can finally receive the productivity boost they need with Tanner's layout acceleration tool: HiPer DevGen.

The tool automatically reads a netlist to identify and then generate key analogue design primitives including resistor arrays, current mirrors and differential pairs. HiPer L-Edit DevGen dramatically improves layout productivity and reduces design cycle time, while generating structures at a very high level of quality.

This month and exclusively for EETimes Europe readers, Tanner is offering a three-month license of HiPer L-Edit DevGen, worth 1500 euros, open to five companies.

And the winners are...

In our previous reader offer, Future Technology Devices International was giving away three Android application development packages worth 550 Euros each.

Lucky winners include Mr. J. Valls Martí from Spain, Mr K. Bremner from the UK, and Mr J. Bjarnoe from Denmark.

All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
