Abstract: A method of manufacturing an antenna lens is disclosed. In one example the method includes forming a shell of a first material, the shell defining an interior cavity and having an internal and external shape corresponding to a shape of an antenna lens. The method further includes at least partially filling the cavity of the shell with a second material different from the first material and having a second dielectric constant higher than a first dielectric constant of the first material. The method includes settling the second material inside the cavity and sealing the shell to form the antenna lens with the second material inside the shell.

Abstract: Antenna lens structures, and antenna systems including the lens structures. In one example, an antenna lens apparatus includes a shell made of a first material having a first dielectric constant, the shell defining an interior cavity, and a second material disposed within and at least partially filling the cavity, the second material having a second dielectric constant higher than the first dielectric constant. The shell defines a shape of the lens, and the second material may be a powder.

Abstract: A platesetting system and method comprising a pair of dual capstan rollers that receives a recording medium and records an image on the received medium as the medium is transported through the system. The system and method advantageously enable at least a portion of the image to extend from a leading edge of the medium to a trailing edge of the medium.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying a recording medium includes first and second rollers which define a common area through which the recording medium is conveyed. The first and second rollers contact the recording medium in the common area and rotate in concert to convey the recording medium from the common area. A cam leverages the second roller to vary an amount of nonzero force applied to the recording medium in the common area.
