RF Shielding Curtains-many uses!
RF Shielding Curtains-many uses! RF Shielding Curtains made with Conductive Metalized Textiles, block the passage or RFI/EMI. This characteristic makes them useful in many ways! One of the major uses of RF Shielding Curtains is in warehouses, where they make keeping accurate inventory records easy. Areas of the warehouse can be "sectioned off" from other areas, eliminating "RF Crosstalk" between adjacent areas during scanning. In a similar fashion, curtained separation of hospital telemetry areas enables wireless collection of vital...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Test with Confidence!
RF Shielded Enclosures-Test with Confidence! Pre-Compliance EMC Testing requires a low ambient environment for accurate testing. The only Source of interference in the testing enclosure should be the Device Under Testing (DUT). RF Shielded enclosures are based on the Faraday Cage Principle which states that electromagnetic fields approach the outside of the enclosure, they will not pass through the walls of the enclosure. The interior of the testing enclosure should have no ambient RF radiation higher than the level that...

Compatibility-Succeeding by Working together!
Compatibility-Succeeding by Working together! I have forty years of experience of operating a dental practice. Dentistry is full of Type A personalities. Type A personalities tend to clash much of the time, the resulting tension makes working in the same environment difficult at times due to personality differences. In a shared electromagnetic environment, the same clashing can occur. All electronic devices emit RF radiation, if the radiation present in the environment allows the devices to work optimally, the devices are...

Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere!
Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere! The medical field has many uses for conductive textiles. Conductive metalized textiles act as sensors, measuring vital functions such as brain waves, and temperature. Hospital beds become smart, sensing a patient leaving the bed. Pressure sensing buttons summon nurses to the patient's room when necessary. These even detect wetness of the bedding! Metalized textiles are useful in physical therapy as electrodes applying current to stimulate muscles or nerves as part of the patient's healing and...

Protect Digital Data-use a Pouch!
Protect Digital Data-use a Pouch! Many of us have our private digital data with us at any given moment on a portable wireless device. That device can be a cell phone, a PDA, a tablet, or a laptop computer. We take it for granted that the private data is safe in the device. The truth is that there are people out there who's mission in life is to steal that data for nefarious purposes. They could be stealing your identity...

Relax in Protective Comfort-Silverell!
Relax in Protective Comfort-Silverell! Winter is a cold season, and it's nice to relax in comfortable Silverell® Wellness Garments. Garments made of Silverell® are comfortable due to the thermal conductivity of Silver, the most conductive element! What makes these garments comfortable is the conductivity of the silver in the yarn taking your natural body heat and balancing it evenly thought the garment, eliminating "hot spots" and "cold spots", creating one comfortable temperature. The resulting comfort from the warmth and the...

Technical Embroidery-Flexible Conductive “Wires”!
Technical Embroidery-Flexible Conductive "Wires"! I think of embroidery as "decoration" of garments. Logos, names on uniforms, hats, come to mind when I think about embroidery. The final result is intricate, colorful and adds to the appearance of the embroidered item. Technical embroidery is useful as a way to conduct electricity and data in smart textiles. Using threads and yarns that are plated with Silver, the most conductive element, embroidery is about function now! Hospital garments have embroidered electrodes and sensors...
