The appointment of Mr Heiden follows the recent strengthening of the Board through the addition of three new non-executive directors in July: Mike Muller, the Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of ARM; Zarir J Cama, the former Chief Executive Officer of HSBC India and Malaysia; and Martin Bloom, the Chairman of Renesola. As a result, Intelligent Energy's non-executive team now has an outstanding breadth of expertise and deep experience in each of the company's main markets of motive, stationary power and consumer electronics.
Henri Winand, Chief Executive Officer of Intelligent Energy, said: "We are delighted that someone of Paul Heiden's calibre and experience is joining the company. His outstanding track record in both executive and non-executive roles will be invaluable in helping Intelligent Energy to achieve its ambitious plans for the future. I would like to thank John Rennocks, who has chaired the company for the past six years, for the very significant contribution he has made in steering the company through a highly successful period of growth and development."

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
