An electromagnetic shielding system for a printed circuit board includes a shielding enclosure having a plurality of side walls and an integral top surface, the top surface including a scored line for allowing removal of an interior portion of the top surface to thereby define a remaining perimeter rim, and a replacement cover for attachment to the remaining cover rim. The replacement cover includes a metal foil having an adhesive surface or a sheet metal material.
The disclosure describes a method of sealing the ends of fabric on a radio frequency interference (RFI) gasket and a description of the gasket made by such method. The method used electrically conductive material to cover a foam interior and then sealing the exposed ends of all six sides of the covering, creating a radio frequency interference (RFI) gasket.
Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods for mounting fingerstock EMI shielding gaskets on sheet metal structures. The fingerstock EMI shielding gasket may include a generally D-shaped cross section with at least one mounting tab forming at least part of an upright portion. In one particular exemplary embodiment, a mounting method generally includes providing a sheet metal structure with inner and outer tabs which protrude outwardly from a surface of the sheet metal structure. The inner tabs may be oriented generally toward the outer tabs and may be laterally separated from the outer tabs. The shielding gasket may be slidably inserted into position longitudinally between the inner and outer tabs.

Abstract:
A flexible electrical circuit formed from a flexible fabric of a nonconductive material that forms a sheet and one or more conductive circuits attached to the fabric and formed at least partially from silver. The conductive circuits may be formed from at least one conductive fiber formed from a core coated with a coating at least partially formed from silver, wherein the core is formed at least partially from nylon. In at least one embodiment, the outer coating may have a silver content of more than 95 percent. The fiber may be patterned stitched, plied multiple times, or attached in other manners to change the resistance. In another embodiment, the conductive circuits may be formed from an etched silver layer attached to the flexible fabric. The conductive circuits may be used in many applications, such as, but not limited to forming heaters, sensors, antennas, stretchable fabrics, and in other applications.

Abstract:
A compression stretch bandage formed from at least one layer of a stretchable, textile material forming a body of the bandage, a base material attached to the stretchable, textile material on a first side, and a silver material attached to the base material for reducing risk of infection. The bandage may be a flexible, stretchable, hydrophilic bandage that reduce the risk of infection at a wound by providing a moist environment that will aid in optimum release of silver ions into the wound.

Abstract:
A method for shielding and obtaining access to a component on a printed circuit board including providing a printed circuit board having a component encompassed by a shielding enclosure including a plurality of side walls and an integral top surface having a scored line which defines an interior portion, severing the scored line, removing the interior portion leaving the shielding enclosure with a remaining perimeter rim and allowing access to the component, providing a replacement cover for the shielding enclosure, and attaching the replacement cover to the shielding enclosure to replace the interior portion and to thereby encompass and shield the component. The replacement cover may be attached by soldering or by an adhesive surface of the replacement cover.

Abstract:
A shielding strip is provided with a snap lock to secure the strip to a mounting surface. The snap lock includes two legs which extend from the strip through a hole in the mounting surface, and include portions which extend past the edge of the hole to lock the strip onto the mounting surface.
