MENDA - Questions And Answers

1. About this No Head Gear matter, I still think that, the Human Body Model or even the Field Induced model should be the reference. As the device will be know way to have in-contact with device but near to it - hairot skaf will do. I am still figuring out how to ensure the 12 inch distance requirements the person's height may vary to the process being performed - for the hair. For Skaff, I more or less have the answer.. if every body agrees to wear the COTTON Material!

2. Anyway, how the practices in USA for area that you may observe as I listed below. Do they wear Head Gear or even Smock ? (i) Probe Area... (ii) Manufacturing ... IC assembly or even the PCB assembly.
