Patent number: 7473855Abstract: A HF sealing strip (1) for electromagnetically shielded, insertable electronic modules comprises a core (2) of an elastically deformable material and a cover (3) of a flexible, conductive textile fabric. The cross section of the core (2) corresponds to an isosceles triangle with obtuse angle at the top. One section of the cover (3) forms a level contact surface (4), to which adhesive strips (7a; 7b; 8) are attached. In the region of the edges for the contact surface (4), the cover (3) of a textile fabric is used to form double-layer flaps (6a, 6b) without an elastic core. These flaps (6a, 6b) form reinforced, level outside edges of the HF sealing strip (1), which can thus better withstand shearing forces transverse to the contact surface (4).Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignees: Schroff GmbH, MTC Micro Tech Components GmbHInventors: Paul Rutherford, Michael Joist, Peter Dratwa

Patent number: 6686748Abstract: Arrangement to test HF tightness of a junction between two adjacent parts including HF generator (4), HF line that guides the signal over junction (1), measuring device (10) as well as a signal analyzer. HF line includes two waveguides (5a, 5b) that have inner conductors (6a, 6b) connected all the way through by a connection conductor (9) and outer conductors (7a, 7b) interrupted and each connected with electrodes (8a, 8b). A capacitive coupling of the HF signal occurs on one side of the junction and a capacitive decoupling of the HF signal takes place on the other side. By comparing the measured transmission and/or reflection of the HF signal with a transmission or reflection characteristic for the junction, it can be determined if the junction is HF tight. This makes it possible to test HF shielded cases for HF tightness in a non-destructive manner and without interfering with the contents.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2002Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: Schroff GmbHInventors: Peter Reiser, Robert Benko, Hans Martin Schwenk
