  • Patent number: 11523551
    Abstract: A testing system capable of shielding from environment noise uses a foldable electromagnetic shielding box to isolate devices that will produce electromagnetic interference to a test object, so as to reduce the influence of these devices on the measurement of the test object. In an embodiment, measuring equipment and the test object are disposed in the foldable electromagnetic shielding box for being shielded from outside electromagnetic waves. In another embodiment, the measuring equipment is disposed in the foldable electromagnetic shielding box while the test object is disposed outside the foldable electromagnetic shielding box, so that the test object to be tested is shielded from electromagnetic waves from the measuring equipment. The foldable electromagnetic shielding box can be folded into a stack for convenience of storage or transport.

  • Patent number: 10900250
    Abstract: Transportable and rapidly deployable air supported structure systems and related methods are disclosed. The air supported structure systems include at least one transportable container. The systems also include a flexible outer membrane configured to couple to a base in a substantially air-tight manner. The systems further include at least one air handling mechanism contained within the at least one container configured to force air between the outer membrane and the base to form an enclosure therebetween via internal air pressure. The systems are configurable between a packaged state with the outer membrane contained within the at least one container, and a deployed state with the outer membrane being coupled to the base and the at least one air handling mechanism forming the enclosure via the internal air pressure. The at least one container may form a portion of the base and/or provide for ingress and egress with the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 9241432
    Abstract: A method for deploying a lightweight, flexible Faraday cage around a device can include the step of directing the conductive fluid flow in a manner that causes a shroud to form over the device. In some embodiments, a flexible material such as canvas can be deployed over the device and the conductive fluid can be sprayed onto the flexible material to form the shroud. In other embodiments, a plurality of nozzles can be placed around the perimeter of the device, and the nozzles can be directed at a predetermined point over the device. The streams can meet at the predetermined point, collide and thereby provide the conductive shroud for the device. The shroud can have a thickness, which can be chosen according to the desired frequency of electromagnetic radiation to be blocked, typically from one to one hundred millimeters (1-100 mm).
