  • Patent number: 11700719
    Abstract: A housing wall includes at least one air grid having at least a first layer with a first mesh structure and a second layer with a second mesh structure. The first mesh structure is coextensively arranged with the second mesh structure. The first layer and the second layer are electrically conductively coupled. The first mesh structure includes a first plurality of through-holes. The second mesh structure includes a second plurality of through-holes. The through-holes of the first plurality of through-holes are misaligned compared to through-holes of the second plurality of through-holes such that a nonuniform total through-hole configuration of the air grid is provided.

  • Patent number: 10120100
    Abstract: A body scanner system for scanning a person to be scanned is described. Said body scanner system comprises a scan unit which has at least one antenna for emitting electromagnetic waves and a separately formed platform for said person. Said body scanner system comprises a scanning state in which said person stands on said platform during scanning while said scan unit is emitting electromagnetic waves used for scanning said person. Said body scanner system is transportable wherein said scan unit is formed such that said platform is held by said scan unit in a transportation state of said body scanner system. Further, a method for scanning a person is described.
