Abstract
A housing device for isolating electromagnetic interference emitting devices includes a structural frame. The structural frame of the housing device is for housing the electromagnetic interference emitting devices. The housing device further includes an electromagnetic interference isolating enclosure. The electromagnetic interference isolating enclosure of the housing device is non-structural. The electromagnetic interference isolating enclosure of the housing device is for encapsulating the structural frame.
Claims14
A housing device for isolating electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitting devices, comprising:
- a structural frame for housing the EMI emitting devices;
- and
- a non-structural EMI isolating enclosure for encapsulating the structural frame,
- wherein the non-structural EMI isolating enclosure electrically isolates the EMI emitting devices from an ambient environment by at least 90 decibels, and
- wherein the non-structural EMI isolating enclosure comprises:
- portions physically connected by unstressed joints between the portions,
- wherein each of the portions comprises a sheet of conductive material, and
- wherein at least one of the portions comprises a resonance modifier adapted to modify a mechanical resonance of the at least one of the portions outside a frequency range of 10 to 120 Hertz such that the at least one of the portions is transported without being affected by mechanical forces applied to the at least one of the portions during a transportation of the housing device.
A system, comprising:
- a first housing device for housing data processing devices;
- and
- a second housing device for isolating electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitting devices,
- comprising:
- a structural frame;
- and
- a non-structural EMI isolating enclosure,
- wherein the non-structural EMI isolating enclosure electrically isolates the EMI emitting devices from an ambient environment by at least 90 decibels, and
- wherein the non-structural EMI isolating enclosure comprises:
- portions physically connected by unstressed joints between the portions,
- wherein each of the portions comprises a sheet of conductive material, and
- wherein at least one of the portions comprises a resonance modifier adapted to modify a mechanical resonance of the at least one of the portions outside a frequency range of 10 to 120 Hertz such that the at least one of the portions is transported without being affected by mechanical forces applied to the at least one of the portions during a transportation of the housing device.
