Stephen Rust Releases License Opportunities for Patented EMI/RF Shielded Door Mechanism Upgrade

Posted filed under Manufacturing.

Radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic (EMI) shielded doors are used across multiple industries, yet the basic closing mechanism of the doors has been largely unchanged since the 1970s. Now, one patent-holder is offering a licensing opportunity to the RF and EMI shielded door industry that makes these bulky, difficult doors easy to open and close while providing a myriad of other benefits. Stephen Rust recently developed United States patent #8,925,251, which is entitled “Constant Force Spring Perimeter Seal for an Electromagnetic Shielded Door”. The mechanism design provides a fresh upgrade to the closing apparatus that has been used for over three decades. Current RF and EMI shielded doors still use this old mechanism that has a number of disadvantages. The traditional knife edge mechanism works by scraping between two rows of spring fingers and uses nearly a dozen moving parts, leading to a higher rate of wear and tear and expensive maintenance calls. This complicated design leads to higher manufacturing and freight costs, a high volume of warranty claims and safety liabilities, and customer satisfaction dilemmas. The new design works to reverse cost, convenience, liability, and customer satisfaction issues by implementing a constant force flat torsion spring that gently coils and uncoils when the shielded door is open and closed. This new technology provides constant metal-to-metal contact, which is necessary for effective RF shielding, while offering an operator-friendly experience. The new design eliminates difficult handles and latching mechanisms, as well as the dilemma of latching failures and operators becoming stranded inside shielded rooms. Rust’s new patent provides a way for affected industries to reduce manufacturing and freight costs, warranty claims, arm and shoulder injuries, the need for excessive force when closing heavy shielded doors, and door alignment problems. The design upgrade can easily be applied to new construction or retrofit situations, providing a longer useful life, lighter door options, and secure shielding. Testing proved that the new design effectively eliminates broadband disturbances. Shielding effectiveness of 100 dB at 1 GHz is expected. Stephen Rust is now providing licensing opportunities for the “Constant Force Spring Perimeter Seal for an Electromagnetic Shielded Door” patent. Interested parties can learn more at www.EMIdoor.com or by e-mailing svrust@optonline.net.

Air Force Veteran Launches SLIK Crowdfunding Campaign for Ultimate Lubricant, Solvent

Posted filed under Manufacturing.

United States Air Force veteran Jerry Dalzell has announced the launch of a crowdfunding campaign for SLIK, an all-natural, non-toxic lubricant that has been developed by Dalzell to perform infallibly in the most extenuating circumstances. SLIK has been designed for application on any metal moving part, but it also acts as a powerful waterproofing agent, rust preventative, brake dust cleaner, permanent marker remover, gun cleaner and lubricant, and solvent for kitchen deep-cleaning. The water-resistant lubricant provides a solid, reliable coating that can last through water submersion and exposure to saltwater. Tested by military members and veterans, SLIK has proven to work when it matters the most – in times when moving parts, such as those found in weapons, must be relied upon. The lubricant has already gained favoritism from many of its users. One person said about SLIK, “I tested it against other cleaners and lubricants, and this worked better and faster.” One military official commented, “The potential for SLIK is massive. I would like to continue testing it in other departments as well.” There will be three varieties of SLIK available once production starts. Consumers will be able to select from a lubricant, solvent, and CLP, or a combination of the two. In addition, SLIK will be available in a convenient travel kit that includes accessories such as a nylon brush and cotton swabs. Dalzell launched the Kickstarter campaign for SLIK in mid-February with a goal of $500. The campaign has exceeded this goal and is now working to stretching to raise $2,000. Production is slated to begin in March 2015, which will include three SLIK products: the lubricant, solvent, and CLP. Dalzell is proud to offer an all-natural, non-toxic, American made lubricant, cleaner, and rust preventative that outperforms other similar products. The first SLIK packages will be shipped to pledgers of the Kickstarter campaign. Pledgers are receiving SLIK travel kits, 2-8 oz. containers of SLIK, and more. Dalzell also is excited to continue the SLIK Kickstarter campaign because crowdfunding has proven to be a successful platform for product promotion. The SLIK Kickstarter page features more information about the products, including before-and-after photos that demonstrate SLIK’s robust uses. Details about the SLIK crowdfunding campaign can be found at kck.st/1FpPSDr. About SLIK SLIK is an all-natural lubricant and solvent that offers the ultimate waterproofing, rust prevention, lubricating, and cleaning benefits.
