There is no indication of the date of manufacture. At the time of writing (May 2016) Netvoyager's website shows this as a current product. However VIA's website shows the CN896 Northbridge chip used in this product as being 'EOL'. I think LX-1022 might have been released around 2010.
Once I took it apart I found that the hardware is made by Astec.

The unit requires a 12V supply with a coax 5.5mm/2.1mm plug. Something that supplies at least 2A should suffice.

As far as expanding the memory it's just a matter of undoing one screw and removing the side panel of the LX-1022:
Flash. The flash memory is a 512MB Compact Flash Card. You can obviously replace this by larger capacity cards.
RAM The RAM is a standard DDR2 SODIMM. The one fitted is made by TLA and is marked 512MB 200PIN DDR2667. The part number is AD2SHH12S5WB-6EgE. The datasheet describes the RAM as a '512MB DDR-2 RAM @ 677Mhz'.
I haven't checked to see what the largest size supported is. However VIA's datasheet on the CN896 does say under 'System Memory':
and elsewhere:
...which implies a 2GB DIMM should work.
PCI There is a mini PCI express slot also available.
If you take the case apart you'll find some other connectors on the other side of the circuit board.
Power There is a two pin connector adjacent to the power socket.
Fans There are two points (only one fitted with a connector) for connecting a fan.
Sata Socket The board is tracked for two SATA sockets but only one
is fitted. (I'm uncertain what J1 is for)
IDE & USB There are a number of connectors grouped in the corner of the board.
Bottom right there are connectors for four USB ports.
The IDE connector is not fitted
