  • Patent number: 9930816
    Abstract: A modular electromagnetically shielded enclosure is provided. The enclosure includes connective frame elements that make up a support frame assembly. Conductive fabric panels are fastened to the connective frame elements to form walls and ceiling. A modular electromagnetically shielded floor assembly is made up of floor panels with rabbet edges that form channels for the placement of electromagnetic shielding gaskets and floor panel connectors. The conductive fabric panels that make up the walls of the enclosure are fastened to the modular electromagnetically shielded floor assembly to form a faraday cage environment that can be readily assembled to create a large or very large shielded enclosure and that can be reconfigured with continued radiofrequency shielding effectiveness.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9029714
    Abstract: An electromagnetically shielded enclosure that is portable and lightweight with a double perimeter entry seal. The electromagnetically shielded enclosure can be used for applications such as testing and security and can be scaled from a bench top unit to a large field deployed enclosure. The electromagnetically shielded enclosure has a novel entry seal that eliminates the electromagnetic leakage that is common around the entry areas of such enclosures. The entry seal of the electromagnetically shielded enclosure is made up of a door having a first perimeter closure material and a second perimeter closure material and an enclosure opening having a first perimeter closure and a second perimeter closure where the first perimeter closure material aligns with the first perimeter closure and the second perimeter closure material aligns with the second perimeter closure. This double perimeter entry seal provides for electromagnetic isolation within the electromagnetically shielded enclosure.

  • Patent number: 8723053
    Abstract: An electromagnetically shielded enclosure with operable interfaces that is portable and lightweight. The electromagnetically shielded enclosure has operable interfaces including a tactile interface through the shielding material and optionally a shielded tactile window for viewing of a secured electronic device and also for operating the secured electronic device should it have a touch screen. An internal frame is optionally provided that prevents conductive interference of a secured electronic device touch screen by the shielded tactile window. An input/output assembly is further provided to allow signals and power to be brought in or out of the enclosure to connect with the secured electronic device without compromising radio silence.

  • Patent number: 7380481
    Abstract: A pass through socket (12) and wrench (10) combination is disclosed wherein a first drive member (22a, 22b) is provided on the socket's exterior surface and a second drive member (24) is provided on the front side of the ratchet wrench's wheel (26) for engaging the socket's first drive member (22a, 22b) to enable the socket (12) to be driven with the wrench (10). The wrench's wheel (26) defines an axially aligned through hole (30) extending through the wheel (26) for receiving an insertable end of the socket (12) through the front side of the wheel (26). Socket retention means, preferably a snap ring mounted on the front side of the ratchet wheel (26), is also provided.
