Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A homogeneous EMI shielded vent panel is provided. The vent panel has an interior porous section and an exterior frame for attachment to an opening of an electronic enclosure. The vent panel can be fabricated using selective laser sintering technology to avoid the use of multiple parts and components which can generate harmful foreign object debris during fabrication and mounting of the vent panel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An EMI shielded vent panel for disposition over a corresponding opening of an electronics enclosure comprising a single homogeneous structure comprising an exterior frame section and an interior medium section, the exterior frame section having a generally C-shaped cross-sectional profile with the opening of the C facing away from the interior medium section, the frame section including mounting holes for receiving fastening members, said frame section being adapted for mounting the vent panel onto a surface of the electronics enclosure to cover the opening of an electronics enclosure, and the interior medium section is circumscribed by the exterior frame section and further comprising a plurality of cells defining a plurality of ventilation passageways extending through the thickness of the medium, said vent panel being fabricated using a selective laser sintering (SLS) process from an electrically-conductive metal capable of EMI shielding; the metal selected from among aluminum, stainless steel, nickel, titanium, and alloys and mixtures thereof and adapted to circumscribe the opening of the electronics enclosure. 2. The vent panel of claim 1 wherein the medium comprises a honeycomb structure. 3. The vent panel of claim 2 wherein the individual cells are circular or oval. 4. The vent panel of claim 2 wherein the individual cells are square or rectangular. 5. The vent panel of claim 2 wherein the individual cells are hexagonal or octagonal. 6. An EMI shielded vent assembly comprising the EMI vent panel of claim 1 and an EMI gasket for mounting the vent panel to the opening in the electronics enclosure. 7. The EMI shielded vent assembly of claim 6 which is mounted in an aircraft.
