  • Patent number: 8829363
    Abstract: A receptacle for supporting a transponder on a support structure includes a housing having a first housing portion securable to the transponder and a second housing portion securable to the support structure. The first housing portion is pivotally secured to the second housing portion. The first housing portion and second housing portion include a shield for attenuating the transmission of electromagnetic signals. The first housing portion has a first position wherein the first housing portion and second housing portion form a chamber for enclosing the transponder and restricting the transmission of electromagnetic signals from the chamber. The first housing portion has a second position wherein the first housing portion and the transponder are displaced from the second housing portion thereby opening the chamber and exposing the transponder to permit the transmission of electromagnetic signals to and from the transponder.

  • Patent number: 8803005
    Abstract: Certain embodiments herein are described to protect electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI). A cabinet and one or more associated input/output panels may be configured to block EMI from entering the interior of the cabinet where electronic equipment may be stored. The input/output panel may include a printed circuit board, an input/output header, and an input/output connector that may be configured to pass electronic signals transmitted via cables, for example, from one side of the input/output panel to another without accompanying EMI. Certain materials and components included on the printed circuit board may assist in deflecting or absorbing EMI so that it does not enter the cabinet. For example, one or more filters may also be mounted onto the printed circuit board to further filter out unwanted EMI.
