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...

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...

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...

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity-help is hard to find, but it’s Available!
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity-help is hard to find, but it's available! For years, some individuals have reported a wide range of non-specific health problems that they attribute to low-level exposure to electromagnetic fields, (EMF). The symptoms include: headaches, body pain, lethargy, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), nausea, burning sensation, heart arrhythmia, and anxiety. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that "no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use". The WHO, along with the International Agency for...

The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful Tool in Automotive Testing!
The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful Tool in Automotive Testing!
The Reverberation Chamber is a very useful tool in Automotive Testing. This is especially true in the ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) area. Automotive Industry is constantly increasing its EMC standards. The tests in the Automotive Industry are the ISO 114 52-2, CISPR-25, and the EN 61000-4-21 tests. United States based vehicle manufacturers market their vehicles worldwide, so these standards are always incorporated in their basic company standards. These standards are increasing in...

Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Learn About it at EMC Live!
Reverberation Chamber EMC Testing, A new Standard in several Sectors! Due to the rapid proliferation of electronic devices, concerns about electromagnetic interference have increased. There is concern about the impact of electromagnetic interference on human health. There is also concern about the effect of ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) on the "health" of crucial electronic equipment. Critical electronic equipment that is required to function properly at all times. EMI can cause components to become "distracted", and malfunction. This type of interference can...
