Rack Systems protect your Server’s Data!
Rack Systems protect your Server's Data! We live in a "wireless world", so many transactions take place over the airwaves! That's a nice convenience of living in a digital world! Life is simpler when we can take care of so many of our responsibilities without leaving home. That ease comes with a potential cost. There are many people who "earn" their livings by stealing or misappropriating digital information. We often hear of people who have had terrible experiences such as...

RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility!
RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility! Everyone knows some people who are very talented at what they do, but they can't work together! The mere presence of the two of them in the same room ruins the work environment. The same thing is true of electronic components, electronic devices do jobs well. When the components have to work in a shared electromagnetic environment, they have to be compatible. With people, it's their personalities that can make them incompatible, unable to work...

Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn “Wires”!
Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn "Wires"! Smart clothing requires durable conductive wires! I'm asking you to "think outside the box" when it comes to the term "wire". In the case of clothing a classic "metal wire" leaves quite a bit to be desired. It is rigid and doesn't like the movements of the human body. Flexing a metal wire leads to stress cracks, and ultimately failure of the wire. Additionally, metal wires in clothing are not exactly "comfortable" for the wearer, we...

EMC Compliance Testing-what’s the Point?
EMC Compliance Testing-what's the Point? Every electronic device must pass EMC Compliance Testing to make it to the market! The reason for this requirement is to lessen the amount of RFI/ EMI in our environment. More importantly, it is to lessen the RFI and EMI in our environment that adversely affects the function of other devices present in the shared electromagnetic environment. All electronic devices emit RFI/EMI. In general, electromagnetic interference doesn't cause a decrease in function of the devices...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Testing at Home!
RF Shielded Enclosures-testing at Home! Preparing for Final Compliance EMC Testing is difficult. One of the best ways to prepare for this test is to prepare your product during development. Testing your product in your home environment during development builds EMC into your device from the start and is the best way to proceed. Pre-Compliance EMC Testing can be done easily at your development site. It actually saves time in development, by intercepting EMC issues along the way rather than...

Conductivity, Flexibility, and Durability-TPU Yarn!
Conductivity, Flexibility, and Durability-TPU Yarn! We usually think of metallic wires to carry current in electronics. When we talk about smart clothing, metal wire has many drawbacks. Flexibility is very important in clothing, people move in many directions, wire doesn't! Wire is great with conductivity, but not great at repetitive flexing! In fact, constant flexing causes stress cracks and failure of metal wires, which is not acceptable in smart clothing. Clothing has to move smoothly and comfortably, paralleling the movement...

RF Shielded Enclosures-Made for You!
RF Shielded Enclosures-Made for You! RF Shielded Enclosures are used for testing electronic devices, mainly for EMC Compliance testing. EMC testing requires a low-ambient RF environment. Portable RF Shielded Enclosures provide this unique environment using the Faraday Principle. The Faraday Principle states that the fields within a conductive material cancel out any external fields, making the electric field inside the conductive material enclosure zero. The walls of a soft sided RF Shielded consist of conductive fabric, satisfying the requirements of...
