               Ahmad discloses a capacitor having a first electrically                
          conductive external electrode 111A with one porous electrically             
          conductive coating layer 119, which is deposited on a support               
          material 116, and a second internal, electrically conductive                
          bipolar electrode 111B having two porous coating layers 120 and             
          131, which are deposited on both sides of the support                       
          material 118 (col. 6, lines 29-34; col. 7, lines 29-38; col. 12,            
          lines 45-50).  The electrodes are separated by an electrolyte               
          filled gap (col. 6, lines 39-41).  As described in connection
