Abstract: A method of assembling a vehicular camera includes providing a front camera housing and a lens assembly and dispensing an adhesive bead in an uncured state at at least one of (i) an attaching portion of the lens assembly and (ii) the front camera housing. The attaching portion and the front housing member are mated together with the adhesive bead therebetween. With the attaching portion and front housing member mated together, lens optics of the lens assembly are aligned with respect to an imaging array of the front camera housing. After such alignment, the adhesive bead is cured to a first cure level via ultraviolet light exposure to join the lens assembly and the front housing member. The lens assembly and front camera housing so joined are moved to a further curing station, where the adhesive bead is further cured to a second cure level.

Abstract: A radio frequency patch antenna having a radiator patch constructed of an anisotropic material, such as carbon nanotube sheet material. Such material is flexible so that the antenna may be wearable and/or integrated into a textile substrate. A feed line couples the radio signal to the patch. Furthermore, the efficiency of radiation from the patch is directly related to the orientation of the fibers or carbon nanotubes in the anisotropic material relative to the orientation of the feed line. Dual polarized radiators can be constructed from two orthogonal layers of CNT patches fed with correspondingly orthogonal feed lines.
