Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for compact radar systems. In some examples, a compact radar system can include a first set of transmit antennas, a second set of receive antennas, one or more processors, and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the radar system to coordinate digital beam steering of the first set of transmit antennas and the second set of receive antennas, and coordinate digital beam forming with one or more of the second set of receive antennas to detect one or more objects within a distance of the radar system.

Abstract: Manufacturing multiple solid state capacitors includes providing a metal substrate layer; forming on an upper surface of the substrate layer a plurality of upstanding bodies consisting of porous sintered valve-action metal; forming a dielectric layer on the bodies; forming a cathode layer on the dielectric layer; coating a top end of each upstanding body with at least one conducting intermediary layer by liquid or vapor phase deposition or by application of an immobilized flowable composition such as a solidifiable paste; forming an intimate physical contact between the cathode layer and the intermediate layer; encapsulating side walls of each body with an electrically insulating material; and dividing the processed substrate into a plurality of individual capacitor bodies each having a sleeve of encapsulating material, an anode terminal surface portion at one end consisting of exposed substrate and a cathode terminal surface portion at the other end consisting of exposed intermediary layer.

Abstract: The present invention concerns methodologies for the mass production of solid state components, in particular capacitors, although other component types including, but not limited to, diodes and resistors may be produced. According to one aspect of the method of manufacturing first and second substrates are provided with a plurality of first and second solid state electronic component elements formed on a surface of each substrate. The first and second substrates are aligned so that respective first and second component elements are each mutually aligned, and the first and second substrates are fixed together, so that the first and second elements are operatively connected one to another, thereby forming a substrate sandwich. The substrate sandwich may be divided to form a plurality of individual components, each comprising a first component element cooperatively connected to a second component element.
