Patent number: 10710339Abstract: A laminated automotive glazing unit including two glass sheets joined by a thermoplastic interlayer sheet, a system of conductive layers applied to one of the sheets, and including on an edge of the same sheet a substantially opaque masking strip, making contact with the glass sheet, the system of conductive layers covering at least partially the masking strip. The glazing unit further includes busbars for supplying electrical power, the busbars making contact with the layer system in the portion covering the masking strip. The masking strip includes a set of layers that absorb visible radiation, the layers being formed by cathodic sputtering.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2015Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: AGC GLASS EUROPEInventors: Jacques Dumont, Peter Masschelein, Jean-Michel Depauw

Patent number: 10550034Abstract: The invention relates to an almost opaque decorative glass panel comprising a substrate made of a vitreous material bearing a multilayer stack including at least one light-absorbing functional layer and transparent dielectric coatings such that the light-absorbing functional layer is enclosed between dielectric coatings. The light-absorbing functional layer has a geometric thickness comprised between 25 and 140 nm, and an extinction coefficient k of at least 1.8. The multilayer stack in addition comprises at least one attenuating layer placed between the substrate and the light-absorbing functional layer, having a thickness comprised between 1 and 50 nm, having a refractive index n higher than 1 and an extinction coefficient k of at least 0.5. Furthermore, a transparent dielectric coating the optical thickness of which is comprised between 30 and 160 nm, and the refractive index n of which is higher than 1.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: AGC GLASS EUROPEInventors: Jacques Dumont, Jean-Michel Depauw

Patent number: 9944553Abstract: The invention relates to a solar protection glazing comprising, on at least one of the faces of a glass substrate, a multi-layer stack comprising at least one layer absorbing solar radiation of at least 3 nm and dielectric coatings surrounding said solar radiation absorbing layer. According to the invention, the light reflection of the glass substrate coated with the multi-layer stack, measured on the substrate side, is at least 20% and is at least two times the light reflection of the glass substrate coated with the multi-layer stack measured on the stack side, and the reflection color on the substrate side has a colorimetric coordinate value a* of less than 2 and a colorimetric coordinate value b* of less than 5. The invention is particularly useful as an automobile glazing, in particular on the roof thereof, as a building glazing or as a household oven.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: AGC GLASS EUROPEInventors: Stijn Mahieu, Gaetan Di Stefano, Marc Hauptmann, Jacques Dumont

Patent number: 6228597Abstract: The invention concerns a polypeptide possessing thyrotropin receptor activity characterized in that it comprises the amino acid sequence shown in FIG. 11 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 59) and cDNA molecules encoding this polypeptide. The invention also relates to vectors comprising cDNAs which encode the polypeptide of FIG. 11, cells transformed with these vectors, and the use the transformed cells expressing the thyrotropin receptor as in the detection of TSH or antibodies against the thyrotropin receptor.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1991Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Assignee: B.R.A.H.M.S.

Patent number: 4010756Abstract: A surgical electrode consisting of an insulated stainless steel wire having needles conductively affixed at one or both ends, at least one needle having a blunt end with a straight shank and having a weakened zone between the straight shank end and the opposite pointed end of the needle whereby the pointed end may be snapped off and the straight shank used as an electrical jack for connection to a pacemaker or similar electric current generating or monitoring device. The electrodes are particularly useful as temporary heart pacer electrodes for cardiac stimulation during and after surgical operations.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1976Date of Patent: March 8, 1977Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: Jacques DuMont, Jacques Romagne
