Title: Lawrence J. Fahy and Laminated Shielding Technology

Introduction

Lawrence J. Fahy is an inventor associated with Warwick, New York, and International Paper Company. His patent work addresses shielding an enclosure from electromagnetic radiation through a layered material and seam-sealing approach.

Latest Patents

Fahy is credited with 1 patent: “Laminated Shielding Material and Method for Shielding an Enclosure.” The invention describes placing strips of metal-based shielding material on an enclosure’s walls in overlapping or abutting arrangements. Shielding tape covers the seams or lies between overlapping sections. The tape combines metal foil with an electrically conductive nonwoven mat of entangled fibers. Although nonconductive adhesive bonds the tape to the metal surfaces, the fibers penetrate the adhesive and contact the substrate, helping maintain electrical continuity and reduce electromagnetic leakage at the seams.

Career Highlights

Fahy’s documented patent contribution focuses on a practical challenge in enclosure shielding: maintaining effective protection where separate shielding panels meet. The design uses laminated materials and conductive fibers to help seal those joints.

Collaborations

Fahy’s listed coworkers include John Marconi and Peter J. Angelini. The available information identifies these professional associations but does not specify their roles in the patent.

Conclusion

Lawrence J. Fahy’s patent presents a seam-focused approach to electromagnetic shielding, combining metal layers, conductive fibers, and adhesive bonding to help protect an enclosure.
