Pre-Compliance Testing- a Real Benefit!
Pre-Compliance Testing-a Real Benefit! Preparation is the way to go when it comes to testing in general. This is particularly true in the case of electronic products. Starting with the prototype, it is smart to build Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) into any new product. It is best practice to incorporate basic EMC into the design of the product and run Pre-Compliance EMC testing starting early in development. Waiting until your product is completely built to start testing it is a folly. ...

Best Practice-EMC Testing During Development!
Best Practice-EMC Testing During Development. It's true, the best way to develop an EMC compliant product is to build compliance into it from day one! The EMC standards are specific and defined by regional, international, national, agencies. They are defined by the type of product and the location(s) where the product will be used. For each industry, there are different standards that apply to the amount of EMI/RFI a device can emit. ALL electrical devices produce electromagnetic fields that interfere...

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...

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...

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...

Military uses for Conductive Textiles!
Military uses for Conductive Textiles! The Department of Defense has many uses for Conductive Textiles. Obviously, the military has many sophisticated electronic devices in their vehicles, whether planes, tanks, or boats. The lives of the soldiers depend on these devices working smoothly without any interference from RFI or EMI. Proper RF Shielding allows these devices to work together efficiently in a shared electromagnetic environment. Conductive textiles are the best shielding materials for vehicles due to their light...
