	UPPI SHIPS PRODUCT TO DELL COMPUTER CORPORATION Friendship, Wis. – July 1, 2005 UPPI (Uninterruptible Power Products, Inc.) today shipped their first order for Dell Computer. The product, PoweRide, will be used by Dell in a distribution facility to maintain production continuity in the event of a negative power event. The multiple unit shipment will be integrated into a complete PDU (Power Distribution Unit) prior to final installation. Dell Computer released a specification which UPPI was able to fill with a standard product. Dell Computer, # 3 on the Fortune 100 list and the market leader, operates at 100% of capacity and any loss of capacity due to power problems results in lost profits. The decision to install UPPI products to maintain uptime was arrived at after calculating the number of power disturbances per year and the impact that they have on shipments. The PoweRide will reduce the number of disturbances that impact production.PoweRide is a patented device designed and built entirely in Wisconsin. The product is designed for industrial processes requiring maximum protection with little or no maintenance required.

	May 16, 2001 - New Power Ride-Through Invention receives recognition. At the 31st Annual Governor’s New Product Awards Program held in Madison, the UPPI PoweRide RTD received special recognition in the Small Company Division. The event is presented by the Wisconsin Society of Professional Engineers. Uninterruptible Power Products, Inc. (UPPI) President Gary Jungwirth explained how this new product addresses an un-filled need in mitigating the “weak links” in the automated process control systems of today’s modern industrial operations. The cost of shutdowns, lockups, machine malfunctions and lost production to the world’s industrial facilities runs in the billions. According to the Electric Power Research Institute and the Power Electronics Application Center, 99% of all plant interruptions are the result of Voltage Sags which last less than a fifth of a second. Lights don’t have to flicker for a machine process control unit to hiccup. Over 60% of Voltage Sags involve only one phase. The inherent design concept of most modern day industrial machines require 3 phase power while the machine’s “brain”, the very sensitive Process Control System is powered by a tap off one of the three phases. If something happens to that phase, the machine can lose its mind and shut the whole plant operation down. It often does not take much…a minor voltage sag as short as tenth of a second will do it. Jungwirth said the UPPI Ride-Through Device (RTD) is a simple, passive product using two phases of a three-phase supply as input and a single-phase output. If one phase is interrupted, you still have clean constant power out of the RTD…. Even if the remaining phase drops by a third. This combination works perfectly since the heavy (motor, pump, conveyor, etc.) loads of a machine are not normally affected by short power anomalies. A small RTD is only used to keep continuous single-phase power going to the more sensitive process controls. As a result, they will hardly ever see any power disturbances (short of a complete three-phase power loss). Processes stay running during otherwise costly power variations. UPPI is a manufacturer of Industrial Power Protection Products located in Friendship, Wisconsin.

	February 5, 2001 - UPPI Ships PDI to Beta Sites UPPI today started shipping the PDI (Power Disturbance Indicator) to beta sites throughout the United States. The PDI uses a very simple display to indicate power problems. The indication is instantaneous, precise, and direct. It does not require interpretation and has no complex charts. The PDI does not require any programming, setup, computer interface, or skilled operator. It monitors one, two, or three phases of 60Hz. AC power. Turn it on, push a button and the LED displays will indicate these power measurements and problems immediately and clearly. Gary Jungwirth, UPPI's President, said, "The applications for the PDI is unlimited. Our intention in developing this product was to provide a simple monitoring device at a reasonable price that can help to monitor and explain the power irregularities in the industrial environment. The PDI is also a perfect fit into our existing products. We are very excited to see these beta units shipped to the sites for evaluation. This step shows UPPI's commitment in providing quality power solutions." Production for the PDI is scheduled to begin at the end of the first quarter of 2001.
	January 20, 2001 - UPPI received patent on the RTD UPPI has been granted a US patent on their PoweRide RTD. The patent was applied for and issued in less than a year due to the uniqueness of the product. The PoweRide RTD is a line conditioning transformer which is powered by three phase power on the input and provides single phase regulated power on the output. The PoweRide RTD not only gives you all the benefits of a high quality line conditioner, but also provides a clean regulated output even if two of the input phases fail. There is no other product available that has no batteries or electronics that can do this.
	September 25, 2000 - UPPI Receives Patent for Pioneer LineUPS UPPI has been granted a US patent on their Smart line Conditioner with UPS upgrade. "The Pioneer LineUPS is a power protection system so unique that we received the patent without any office actions" states UPPI President, Gary Jungwirth. The Pioneer LineUPS Power Conditioner can fully protect you from over 95% of all known power anomalies. In full power failure situations, our upgrade-option provides 100% protection. This revolutionary concept enables unparalleled flexibility in solving power protection needs. One of the significant benefits of a Pioneer LineUPS is that it is field upgradeable to a full-featured UPS. The design and development of this "next generation" product was based on extensive research, coupled with a broad-based knowledge of existing product offerings, providing the blueprint for the revolutionary concept that is the Pioneer LineUPS.
