When Pepe crosses the finish line, Mac is only at 9 meters. You race them again so Mac can win. Assume both snails maintain a constant speed. You need to handicap the race but cannot shorten the distance. How do you decide to handicap the race so Mac wins?   Answer/Discuss       TECH ARTICLE     What is an EMI shielding window? "An EMI shielding window is an optically transparent, electrically conductive barrier that significantly reduces the amount of electro-magnetic radiation that might pass through it. These shielding windows are commonly surrounded by non-transparent barriers that are more effective EMI shields, but do not offer…" Read this article in its entirety.
