RF Shielded Testing Enclosures, We have the right one for You!
RF Shielded Testing Enclosures-what are they?
RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures are based on the theory of the "Faraday Cage", pioneered by Michael Faraday in 1836. A Faraday Cage is made of a conductive metal mesh or solid conductive metal plates that will not allow external electric fields to enter the area that the cage encloses. Our RF Shielded EMC Testing Enclosures are made of metalized conductive textiles, making them easy to assemble, lightweight and portable.RF Shielded Testing Enclosures-what are...

Faraday Bags Protect Information!
Faraday Bags Protect Information, what are they and how do they work?
Faraday Bags Protect Information. Faraday Bags are bags/pouches fabricated of Metalized Conductive Textiles. When closed, these pouches do not allow electromagnetic fields or waves to cross their boundaries, based on the research of Michael Faraday in 1836. Our electronic devices transfer information wirelessly using RF radiation. When the devices are placed in Faraday Bags/Pouches, RF transmission is blocked by the Faraday Effect. This includes both incoming information and...

Highly Conductive Yarns and Threads, the new Wires in Smart Clothing!
Highly Conductive Yarns and Threads, the new "wires" in smart clothing! Think about it, when smart clothing first came out, there were actual wires used to make connections! The problem with these wires is that they were not particularly flexible, comfortable, compact, or durable. The traditional wire circuitry did not stand up to the constant flexing of the human body or the extremes of the cleansing process, moisture and temperature. Often, the product did not stand the "test of time...

Conductivity Rules in Smart Clothing-Create the Path of Least Resistance!
Conductivity rules in smart clothing-create the path of least resistance! In the near future, nearly all of our clothes will be smart. Smart clothing is made of fabrics that allow digital components, sensors, connections, and power to be incorporated in them. These components allow the clothing to assist the wearer in daily activity. They can monitor body systems, facilitate communication, incorporate lighting and heating and environmental conditions for safety and comfort. The key to all of this is electrical conductivity. Conductivity...

RF Emissions and RF Susceptibility, EMC Test Devices Early and Often in Development!
RF Emissions and RF Susceptibility, EMC test devices early and often in development! RF Emissions- every electronic device emits RF waves during function. Some of these RF waves are acceptable in the environment. Some of them can adversely affect the function of other nearby devices. The RF Emissions should be checked early and often during development. This process prevents the need to change the device design completely late in the game. RF Susceptibility- If RF waves in the area decrease...

What is Maker Education, What does it Accomplish?
What is Maker Education, What does it accomplish? Maker Education is a project-based learning experience. It incorporates hands-on experiences along with didactic learning, facilitating education. The projects focus on problem solving by having students take a project from concept to reality. Maker Education involves integrating several educational areas: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). The project could teach the roles of science of electricity, the technology and engineering of a circuit, the art of a light display, and the...

Top Five Reasons for Wearing Anti-Radiation Clothing!
You may have heard of Anti-Radiation Clothing... and the exposures that it deals with are certainly getting more prevalent.. This guide will help you understand what it is and why it is becoming increasingly necessary:
1. Protection from the "Natural Environment"
Believe it or not, today's "Natural Environment" is more full of naturally generated Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) than ever! EMR is produced naturally by the sun, our atmosphere (the auroras), and the earth itself as low level electromagnetic fields. Unless...

EMC Test Enclosures make Pre-Compliance Testing Easy!
EMC Test Enclosures make Pre-Compliance testing easy! Manufacturers of electronic components know the importance of pre-compliance testing. Their components must function smoothly together with many other components simultaneously. The emission testing checks for RF emissions from the component. There are strict standards for the level of RF emissions that components are allowed to produce. Combine this with susceptibility testing, which is done to confirm that the component will be able function flawlessly in the presence of ambient RF levels that...
