    Abstract: Attenuating, while handling an animal, one's own emanated electromagnetic field by wearing apparel that includes an electromagnetically shielding fabric. The shielding fabric comprises a substantially continuous system of conductive fibers combined with non-conductive fabric. Or attenuating, while a handler is handling an animal, the electromagnetic field emanated by the handler, by (i) providing to the handler apparel that includes the electromagnetically shielding fabric, and (ii) instructing the handler to wear it while handling an animal, respectively. The attenuation of the emanated electromagnetic field decreases the likelihood of the animal reacting to the emanated electromagnetic field.

  • Publication number: 20110042135
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an Ag alloy film. Particularly, it is preferably used as a reflective film or semi-transmissive reflective film for an optical information recording medium having high thermal conductivity/high reflectance/high durability in the field of optical information recording media, an electromagnetic-shielding film excellent in Ag aggregation resistance, and an optical reflective film on the back of a reflection type liquid crystal display device, or the like. The Ag alloy film of the present invention comprises an Ag base alloy containing Bi and/or Sb in a total amount of 0.005 to 10% (in terms of at %). Further, the present invention relates to a sputtering target used for the deposition of such an Ag alloy film.

  • Publication number: 20110021360
    Abstract: The superconductive nanocomposite is a composition formed by nanoparticles of a high temperature superconductor blended with a polymer matrix containing natural rubber and polyethylene. The high temperature superconductor is preferably a bismuth-based superconductor (BSCCO) having a particle size of about 21 nm, but may be any other high temperature or Type II ceramic, metal oxide superconductor. The superconductor nanoparticles comprise about 15% of the weight of natural rubber in the composition. The polyethylene is preferably low density polyethylene and may comprise between 0% up to about 40% of the weight of natural rubber in the composition. The nanocomposite may be prepared by blending the components and roll milling the rubber.

  • Publication number: 20100300744
    Abstract: A shielding article includes a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer spaced apart from the first conductive layer by a non-conductive polymeric layer defining a separation distance. The first conductive layer and the second conductive layer cooperatively provide a first shielding effectiveness. The first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, and the separation distance cooperatively provide a second shielding effectiveness that is greater than the first shielding effectiveness.

  • Publication number: 20100288553
    Abstract: A cooling pad capable of absorbing electromagnetic interference (EMI) is used to be connected between a cooling device and an electronic component. The cooling pad conducts heat generated by the electronic component to the cooling device, thereby to cool the electronic component. The cooling pad includes an EMI absorbing net made of electromagnetic absorbing material. Therefore, the cooling pad is capable of absorbing EMI generated by the electronic component.

  • Publication number: 20100224402
    Abstract: A shielding article includes a polymeric conductive layer and a protective layer disposed adjacent the polymeric conductive layer. The polymeric conductive layer provides electromagnetic shielding characteristics so as to prevent receipt of data from a radio frequency information component by an external device when the component is located between the external device on one side and the polymeric conductive and protective layers on the other side. The shielding article may be shaped to substantially surround the radio frequency information component.
