RFID-It’s Not Just for Inventory Management Anymore!
RFID has been around since the end of World War II. One of the early uses of RFID was for inventory management. The inventory was accomplished by scanning the RFID Tag, the inventory was sent to the computer, logging in the presence of the item in the available inventory. There are two different forms of RFID Tags, each based on how the information from the RFID Tag is transmitted to the scanner. A "passive RFID Tag" means that the tag is...

Our Metalized Textiles are used in Making “Healthy Clothing” as well as “Smart Clothing”!
Most of the time, I use this forum to write about the uses of V Technical Textiles, Inc.'s metalized textiles in reference to manufacturing and shielding concerns about RF and EMI interference generated by electronic products. Our shielding material helps to mitigate RF/EM interference by blocking its transmission into the tight environment of electronic products to abate the interference that they produce and, at the same time, stop the RF and EM interference produced by the neighboring components from interfering...

What’s in Your Wallet? Hopefully, Some Shielding Material!
In today's world, having credit cards or electronic ID cards in your wallet isn't secure enough protection for the personal information they carry. You must have some sort of additional security for them there in your pocket. When I grew up, the best security for wallets was what over the road truckers or motorcyclists had, a chain that connected their wallet to their belt or the pants that they were wearing, stopping physical thievery and that was good enough. Today's thief doesn't...

Minimizing UV and RF Radiation Exposure, A Great Idea for Either End of the EMR Spectrum
UV Radiation
When I was a child fifty-five years ago, my mother often encouraged us to go outside and "get a nice healthy suntan". As time went on, we took it a step further and used tanning beds, as they provided the necessary UVA and UVB to get the tan. Along the way, we also learned that there is an element of truth about being exposed to the sun being healthy for us. Limited exposure to the sun gives the positive effects...

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. ...
