Abstract:
An electric field shielding apparatus used with an electrical device comprises a housing body at least partially surrounding the electrical device; and a conductive shield medium arranged with the shape of the housing body to at least partially surround the electrical device to substantially reflect electric field generated from the electrical device. The conductive shield medium is a thin conductive layer coated on interior surface of the housing body. Alternatively, the conductive shield medium is a conductive mesh placed against interior surface of the housing body. In addition, the conductive shield medium may be integrally mixed with the housing body to make the housing body substantially electrically conductive. In other words, the conductive shield medium may be in a powder form which is mixed with plastic power, the mixture of which is then heated and poured into an injection mold to form a housing body of an electric device. To effectively block or absorb the electric field generated from a device, the conductive shield medium is preferably grounded by being connected to a ground prong of a power outlet.

An electrical heating pad for use with an ungrounded source voltage comprises a heating element arranged in the heating pad and defining a substantially coplanar plane and a fabric outer cover co-planarly enclosing the heating element. The heating element includes a first core made of an insulating material; a first conductive element wound around the first core using the first core as an axis; a second core made of an insulating material arranged in surrounding relation to the first core and the first conductive element; and a second conductive element wound around the second core using the second core as an axis. The first and second conductive elements are connected to each other at one ends and are connected to the ungrounded source voltage at the other ends to at least partially cancel out magnetic field generated from each conductive element. There is at least one shield layer located at one side of the coplanar plane defined by the heating element for substantially shielding electric field. In the heating pad, the second conductive element preferably generates more heat than the first conductive element. In that regard, the second conductive element has a lower total resistance than the first conductive element.
