Patent number: 7663066Abstract: A method for producing a durable electromagnetic and radio frequency interference shield between two or more structural members of a wall or enclosure and a shielded shelter produced using the method. In one embodiment, joints between structural members are preferably filled with an electrically conductive filler. A base coat of a metal spray that adheres well to the filler and structural member is then applied. At least one layer of a metal spray with magnetic field attenuation properties such as steel, and at least one layer of a metal spray that has plane wave attenuation properties such as tin are applied to the base coat. Optionally, a coat of protective or conductive paint is then applied to the top surface of the metal spray layers. An enclosure with shielded joints according to the present invention has superior shielding capability and durability over the art.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Proteus Technical Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth E. Tyson, Deborah S. Tyson, Theodore Marzan, Ronald B. Walker

Patent number: 7619169Abstract: The disclosed device is directed towards an electromagnetic compatibility clip comprising a body having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side is configured to contact a top surface of a chassis separator and a bottom surface of the chassis separator. The second side of the body is configured to contact an upper module mounted on the upper surface of the chassis separator. The second side of the body is configured to contact a lower module mounted on the lower surface of the chassis separator. The body is configured to maintain electrical contact between the chassis separator, the upper module and the lower module. A locking portion is defined in the body. The locking portion is configured to interlock with the chassis separator. A compression force control element is defined in the body. At least one spring contact is defined in the body.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2003Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Phong Hoang Ho, Sean P.

Patent number: 7601921Abstract: Embodiments of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding containers are disclosed according to the present invention. The EMI shielding containers are especially useful for protecting sources of electronic evidence from EMI contamination prior to data extraction. However, the embodiments of EMI shielding containers of the present invention may be used in any context where a wireless device is to be shielded from transmitting or receiving electromagnetic signals. Embodiments of methods of using EMI shielding containers to extract data from electronic devices are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2008Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Inventor: Amber Schroader

Publication number: 20090114439Abstract: A connector housing for a small and portable transmitting-receiving module includes an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing has a top board, two side walls and a rear cover. The lower edge of the two side walls has a first wedging plate, first convex blocks, and first indentations. The lower housing has a bottom board, and the bottom board has a second wedging plate, second convex blocks, and second indentations. The second wedging plate is wedging the two side walls. The first wedging plate is wedging the bottom board. The second convex blocks are plugged into the first indentations. The first convex blocks are plugged into the second indentations. Thereby, the structure of the connector housing is stronger compared to the prior art. The housing is not easily deformed. Its structure is simple, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2008Publication date: May 7, 2009Inventors: Hou-An Su, Chin-Pao Wu

Patent number: 7504592Abstract: According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of board level shields having single piece constructions. In an exemplary embodiment, a shielding enclosure includes sidewalls and an integral top surface. The sidewalls include upper and lower portions cooperatively defining an interlock therebetween. The upper sidewall portions depend downwardly from the integral top surface. The interlock releasably attaches the integral top surface and upper sidewall portions to the lower sidewall portions. By disengaging the interlock, the integral top surface and upper sidewall portions may then be completely separated from the lower sidewall portions. The integral top surface and upper sidewall portions may also be reattached to the lower sidewall portions by engagement of the interlock.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Laird Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Paul W. Crotty, Jr.
