Formulation for packaging an electronic device and assemblies made therefrom

An integrated package is disclosed that includes a conductive structure that can be selectively configured to include a radiating element of a planar antenna or to include a radio-frequency shielding structure. Examples of a planar antenna include PIFA antennas, patch antennas, and the like. The planar antenna can be selectively configured to different tuning profiles, and operate as a diversity antenna by alternating its tuning profile configuration amongst different tuning profiles.

Device including an antenna and method of using an antenna

Disclosed and claimed herein is a microwave assembly having a substrate comprising a microwave device; said device having a die, a first layer having a dielectric constant between about 1.00 and about 1.45 and a thickness between about 0.05 and about 2 mm along with one or more layers chosen from an absorbing layer, an EMI blocking layer, a layer comprising conductive material or a metal cover.

Device package and methods for the fabrication thereof

Fabrication methods are provided for a sensor device packages. An exemplary fabrication method involves bonding a sensor structure and another structure using a sealing structure. The sealing structure surrounds a diaphragm region of the sensor structure and provides an airtight seal between the sensor structure and the other structure to establish a fixed reference pressure on one side of the diaphragm region.

Methods for fabricating sensor device package using a sealing structure

A radar system () for a vehicle () includes a transmit unit () and a receive unit (). The transmit unit () includes a single beam antenna () for output of a radar signal () into a target zone (). The receive unit () includes a single beam antenna () for receiving a direct receive signal () and an indirect receive signal (). The receive signals () are reflections of the radar signal () from an object () in the target zone (). The indirect receive signal () is reflected off the object () toward a reflective panel () of the vehicle (), and the indirect receive signal () is reflected off the reflective panel () for receipt at the receive antenna (). The receive signals () are summed to produce a detection signal () indicating presence of the object () in the target zone ().

Automotive radar system and method for using same

Apparatus and related fabrication methods are provided for a sensor device. The sensor device includes a sensor structure including a first portion having a sensing arrangement formed thereon and a second structure. A sealing structure is interposed between the sensor structure and the second structure, wherein the sealing structure surrounds the first portion of the sensor structure. The sealing structure establishes a fixed reference pressure on a first side of the first portion, and an opposing side of the first portion is exposed to an ambient pressure.

Sensor device with sealing structure

A method and apparatus are described for fabricating an exposed differential pressure sensor () which protects interior electrical components () formed on a topside surface of a differential pressure sensor transducer die () from corrosive particles using a molding compound (), but which vents both sides of a piezoresistive transducer sensor diaphragm () through a first vent hole () formed in an exposed die flag () and a second vent hole () formed in an exposed cap structure (), enabling the sensor diaphragm () to sense differential pressure variations directly or indirectly through a protective gel.

A method and apparatus are described for fabricating an exposed backside pressure sensor () which protects interior electrical components () formed on a topside surface of a pressure sensor transducer die () from corrosive particles using a protective gel layer () and molding compound (), but which vents a piezoresistive transducer sensor diaphragm () formed on a backside of the pressure sensor transducer die () through a vent hole () formed in an exposed die flag (), enabling the sensor diaphragm () to directly sense pressure variations without the influence of a protective gel.

Exposed pad backside pressure sensor package

A packaged electronic device () includes a die pad (), leads () arranged around the die pad (), and a die () attached to an upper surface () of the die pad () and electrically connected to the leads (). A packaging material () encapsulates the die pad (), the die (), and the leads (). The die pad () includes indentations () formed in the upper surface () along a sidewall () of the die pad (). The die pad () further includes indentations () formed in a lower surface () of the die pad () along the sidewall. The packaging material () fills the indentations () thereby promoting adhesion between the die pad () and the packaging material () so that the die pad () and packaging material () cannot readily delaminate.

Armored vehicle or toy replica

A football-like projectile having a central longitudinal bore includes a weighted insert in the bore to concentrate the weight of the projectile interiorly of the ball about the longitudinal axis. The insert is provided with a longitudinal flow passage to permit air flow hrough the insert and the bore when the ball is in flight.

Projectile with interiorly weighted flow passage insert

A football or other projectile is stabilized in flight by weighted material that responds to spinning of the football about its major axis by moving radially outward to become evenly distributed about that axis. In a preferred embodiment, two annular tubes, concentrically disposed about the major axis, encircle the ball at opposite sides of a plane containing the minor axis of the ball. The weighted material, in the form of beads, liquid, etc., is contained within the tubes and is flung radially outward as the ball spins.
