Electronic Evidence-Secure in the Bag

It may seem strange that a textile company would be involved in Forensic Science, but it's true!!  In today's world, even the criminals (from "white collar" criminals to drug dealers) use computers, phones, and electronic devices to store information.  In many cases, this information can be used as key evidence in trials.  When these devices are seized with a warrant, they become part of the "Chain of Custody/Evidence".  In legal context, this refers to the documentation or paper trail that...

As the Products Get Smaller, the Challenges of Shielding Get Bigger; New Dynamics in the RF EMI Shielding Industry

Most of the electronic devices of today are getting smaller and smaller due to the increasing tendency of the consumer to want everything to be light and portable, witness the change in size of the cellular telephone since its inception in 1973.  The size of the first cell phone ever used was 9"x 5"x 1.8" with a weight of a little more than 2.4 pounds.  Today's cell phones are 5" x 2"x o.5" and carry a fraction of the weight. ...

RF EMI Shielding-Helping Our Systems Work Well Together

You know how it is in the workplace.  If one works in a "cubicle farm" with large open spaces and no privacy, all of the ambient noise created by co-workers makes it very hard for one to concentrate on the project at hand.  The noise and interference present in the environment make doing one's best work much harder.  It's nicer and more efficient to have a private office, protected from outside distraction by four walls, a ceiling, and a door. ...

E-SMOG, I Can’t See It, but I Know It’s There. Should I be Afraid of It?

We live in a world full of e-smog, the term for ALL artificially produced electrical and magnetic fields as well as electromagnetic radiation.  For years, there have been concerns regarding the effects of RF and EMI on the human body.  With the proliferation of devices that emit RF/EMI radiation (cell/mobile telephoned, radar stations, cell phone towers, computers, high voltage lines, WiFi, LANs, household appliances, electric motors and transformers), there is rising concern about the potential long term effects of exposure...
