Electromagnetic screening

There are other types of semiconducting polymers as well, some of the more important of which are listed in Table 6.10. The condnction mechanism in most of these polymers is the polaron model described above. Applications for these polymers are growing and inclnde batteries, electromagnetic screening materials, and electronic devices. 

Another example is a system made by National Recovery Technologies (NRT) Inc. (Nashville, TN) [72]. This apparatus incorporates a proprietary electromagnetic screening process that also detects the presence of chlorine as found in PVC bottles. Once detected, PVC bottles are pneumatically jettisoned from the commingled bottle feed stream by a microprocessor-based air-blast system. The NRT technology permits bottles to be delivered to the unit in a mass sort concept in either crushed or whole form. This system does not require any special positioning or orientation of the bottles in order to achieve high efficiency rates. 

The thermal properties of fibre-reinforced composites are anisotropic. Expansion in the direction of the fibre is usually very small or negative, but the thermal conductivity of some carbon fibre composites in the fibre direction can be high. Most polymers and several types of fibre are good electrical insulators. Carbon and some ceramic fibres have a much lower resistivity. It is thus possible to use composites for manufacturing radomes as well as for electromagnetic screening materials and systems which absorb radar signals. 

If an electrical insulator is required then a composite based on aramid or glass fibre should be used. Carbon fibre composites can be used for electromagnetic screening. 

Due to the spherical form of the input screen of the image identifyer tube and electromagnetical disturbances the image values are globaly and localy distorted.

Metalized screens Screens that have been metalized with nickel. These screens will bleed off static charges, promote EMC and reflect electromagnetic energy. MGD Million gallons daily - refers to the flow through a waste treatment plant. 

Instruments with a balanced input circuit are available for measurements where both input terminals are normally at a potential other than earth. Further problems arise due to common-mode interference arising from the presence of multiple earth loops in the circuits. In these cases the instrument may need to be isolated from the mains earth. Finally, high-frequency instruments, unless properly screened, may be subject to radiated electromagnetic interference arising from strong external fields. 

The idea of using CPCM for shielding is rather alluring. Indeed, a casing of an article or instrument manufactured of such a material serves at the same time as a screen to protect against electromagnetic radiation. All the above-described operations involved in applying additional layers become unnecessary. 

Therefore, in connection with the introduced limitations of electromagnetic noise level, in the early 1980 s, a vast field of application seemed open for conducting composites. In the USA more than 80000 t of various plastic materials is consumed for the manufacture of casings of commercial electronic devices and almost all the casings call for screening [71]. But in reality these hopes were not realized. Table 1 shows the percentage of different ways of manufacture of screens in 1982 and 1986. 

FIGURE 1.19 In this illustration, the peaks of the waves of electromagnetic radiation are represented by orange lines. When radiation coming from the left (the vertical lines) passes through a pair of closely spaced slits, circ ular waves are generated at each slit. These waves interfere with each other. Where they interfere constructively (as indicated by the positions of the dotted lines), a bright line is seen on the screen behind the slits where the interference is destructive, the screen is dark. 

Thomsons picture of the atom emerged from his work with cathode ray tubes. It was a milestone on the road to understanding atomic structure. But it was not the only major advance to come out of cathode ray experiments. Almost every television set in existence today is a cathode ray tube. The electrons stream from the cathode and are deflected by electromagnetic coils guided by signals from the television station. When an electron hits the televisions screen, which is coated with a phosphorescent material, it produces a dot of color. The dots form the picture you see on the screen. 

This phosphor has many emission lines in the blue, green, and red areas of the electromagnetic spectrum screens made from it have a whitish appearance... 

Mechanically operated screens are vibrated by means of an electromagnetic device as shown in Figure 1.40, or mechanically as shown in Figure 1.41. In the former case the screen itself is vibrated, and in the latter, the whole assembly. Because very rapid accelerations and retardations are produced, the power consumption and the wear on the bearings are high. These screens are sometimes mounted in a multi-deck fashion with...
