  • Patent number: 11871551
    Abstract: A RF (“Radio Frequency”) shielding container with an associated garment such as a jacket is described. The RF shielding container may be a pouch that holds and encapsulates an electronic mobile device such as a cell phone. The pouch is made of multiple layers of fabric including metalized layers that effectively block the reception and/or transmission of RF signals to and from the cell phone. A sealing mechanism formed on the pouch ensures the blockage of RF signals while offering ease of use while in combat. A garment such as a jacket or pants is designed to have internal pockets or cavities which can hold the RF shielding container. The RF shielding container may remain in the jacket during use, as well as when the mobile device is placed into or retrieved from the container.

  • Patent number: 11528833
    Abstract: Electromagnetic wave shielding material including a conductive fiber web with multiple pores and a heat dissipation unit provided in at least some pores that is so excellent in flexibility, elasticity, and creasing/recovery that it can be changed in shape freely and brought in complete contact with a surface where the material is to be disposed even if the surface has a curved shape, uneven portions, or stepped portions, thus exhibiting excellent electromagnetic wave shielding performance and prevent deterioration thereof despite various shape changes. Since heat dissipation performance is excellent, heat generated in an electromagnetic wave source can be rapidly conducted and released. Even if parts are provided in a narrow area at high density, the material can be brought in close contact with mounted parts by overcoming a tight space between the parts and a stepped portion. The invention is employed for light, thin, short, and small or flexible devices.

  • Patent number: 9636508
    Abstract: To recharge an implanted medical device, an external device, typically in the form of an inductive charger, is placed over the implant to provide for transcutaneous energy transfer. The external charging device can be powered by a rechargeable battery. Since the battery is in close proximity to the charge coil, the large magnetic field produced by the charge coil induces eddy currents that flow on the battery's metallic case, often resulting in undesirable heating of the battery and reduced efficiency of the charger. This disclosure provides a means of shielding the battery from the magnetic field to reduce eddy current heating, thereby increasing efficiency. In one embodiment, the magnetic shield consists of one or more thin ferrite plates. The use of a ferrite shield allows the battery to be placed directly over the charge coil as opposed to outside the extent of the charge coil.

    Abstract: A high-frequency signal double-layer flat cable adapter card that is capable of eliminating transmission disorder of a double-layer cable caused by paralleling and overlap of high-frequency signals and a direct current power supply loop. The high-frequency double-layer flat cable adapter card comprises a first connecting end, a second connecting end and a flat cable group formed by at least two strips of flat cables. The first connecting end includes a first substrate and a connector. The second connecting end includes a second substrate. The flat cable group is in an upper-lower dual-layer structure and is connected between the first connecting end and the second connecting end. A conductive metal foil sheet is arranged between upper and lower dual layers of flat cables of the flat cable group.

  • Publication number: 20150129296
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a shielding system for conductor cables as well as to a method for producing said shielding system. The system is characterized in that it comprises a corrugated tube (20) coated with one or more thin films of high electrical conductivity material (30) which are reversibly adhered to the surface of said corrugated tube (20) so that said coating can be uncoupled from the corrugated tube due to high bending values of the tube itself. The shielding system according to the present invention therefore combines the excellent shielding efficacy values of a system having thin metal films with the excellent flexibility properties of a corrugated plastic tube.

  • Patent number: 8969737
    Abstract: Electrical components such as integrated circuits may be mounted on a printed circuit board. To prevent the electrical components from being subjected to electromagnetic interference, a radio-frequency shielding structure may be mounted over the electrical components. The radio-frequency shielding structure may be formed from a printed circuit that includes a ground plane such as a flex circuit or rigid printed circuit board that includes at least one blanket layer of metal. The printed circuit board to which the electrical components are mounted may include a recess in which the electrical components are mounted. Additional components may be mounted to the interior and exterior surface of the radio-frequency shielding structure. The radio-frequency shielding structure may be formed from a flex circuit that has slits at its corners to accommodate folding.
