Patent number: 7491901Abstract: An inverter (10) includes a circuit board (20) including a transformer (40) disposed thereon, and a shield cage assembly (60) for enclosing the transformer. The shield cage assembly includes an insulative cage (602) defining an inner receiving space (6028) for receiving the transformer, a first conductive cage (604) defining a first receiving space (6048) for receiving the insulative cage, and a second conductive cage (606) defining a second receiving space (6068) for receiving the first conductive cage. The shield cage assembly blocks EMI emitted by the transformer from interfering with electronic components out of the shield cage assembly, thus enabling the electronic components to perform more reliably.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2006Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Fa-Ning Lu

Patent number: 7492608Abstract: A system including an EMI shield. In an embodiment, the system includes a chassis with at least one bay for receiving a replaceable unit and a lip. The replaceable unit includes a housing and a faceplate. Further, a gasket is operationally coupled to the replaceable unit housing and the replaceable unit faceplate for reducing electromagnetic radiation emissions from the replaceable unit and chassis interface. The gasket may include four sides which are configured to provide a varying force-compression curve along the length of the gasket. Upon installation of the replaceable unit, the lip defined within the chassis compresses the gasket to provide a constant force per unit length and form an electromagnetic interference shield with uninterrupted electrical conductivity.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: Robert Harvey, Marc Mayfield, Justin Mortensen

Patent number: 7492609Abstract: An exemplary flat panel display (1) includes a display panel (20), a circuit board (30) and a metal shield (40). The display panel includes a first back (200). The metal shield is secured at the first back of the display panel, including a first housing (45) portion adjacent the first back of the display panel. The circuit board including a power unit (302), a display unit (304) and a switch unit (306) integrated on the circuit board that is accommodated in the first housing portion. An area of the metal shield is smaller than that of the display panel. The flat panel display is convenient for assembly in a reduced weight and a lowered cost.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2006Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignees: Innocom Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., Innolux Display Corp.Inventors: Te-Hsu Wang, Ming-Chuan Li, Ju-Fang Wang
