Abstract: A power feed entry circuit, a module with the power feed entry circuit, and a daughter board with the power feed entry circuit include a first circuit coupled to inputs and outputs, wherein the first circuit is configured for power connections, return isolation relays, diode Or-ing, and output status-indication light-emitting diodes (LEDs); a second circuit coupled to the first circuit, the inputs, and the outputs, wherein the second circuit is configured with a hot swappable controller and provides common-mode and differential mode power line filtering; a third circuit coupled to the first circuit, wherein the third circuit is configured for alarm monitoring of the first circuit and the second circuit; and a fourth circuit coupled to the first circuit and the third circuit, wherein the fourth circuit comprises a dual feed high and low active field effect transistor Or-ing circuit.

Abstract: Faceplate, energy-attenuating, waveguide extensions are provided for use with an optical communications module having a circuit board. The circuit board has a plurality of transceivers adjacent to corresponding openings in a front portion of a faceplate, outside a protective zone of a Faraday cage created by the faceplate and adjacent modules, exposing the transceivers to electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other destructive energy created by the faceplate openings. To attenuate the ESD, EMI, or other energy emanating through the faceplate openings, an integral, waveguiding, snout-like extension (or protrusion) is provided around the periphery of each of the faceplate openings. A removable waveguide extension to the snout-like extension may also be provided to further attenuate ESD, EMI or other energy. The longer the waveguide created by the combined removable extension and the integral snout-like extension, the greater the ESD, EMI, or other energy attenuation.

Abstract: A shielded CRT (18) display includes a secondary shielding enclosure (14) for enclosing the CRT (18) and for inhibiting electromagnetic emissions therefrom. A primary shielded enclosure (12) internal to the secondary shielding enclosure (14) has a portion coaxial (16) with the neck portion (22) of the CRT (18) for also inhibiting electromagnetic emissions from the CRT (18). The CRT (18) includes an internal conductive layer comprised of an internal aquadag, wire mask, and phosphor coating. This internal conductive layer is grounded via a reactive path to ground to suppress electromagnetic emissions. This double shielding suppression technique eliminates the need for external shielding of the face portion of the CRT (18).
