  • Publication number: 20230146513
    Abstract: A laminated glazing is formed of several rigid transparent substrates adhesively bonded in pairs by an interlayer adhesive layer, at least one of these transparent substrates being coated with an electrically conductive layer, a zone of this transparent substrate exhibiting four opposite edges in pairs, a first and a second busbar being positioned along two opposite edges, the electrically conductive layer exhibiting flow lines for guiding the electric current between the busbars, the set of flow lines being of variable width.

  • Publication number: 20220324204
    Abstract: A laminated glazing unit includes at least one first sheet of glass and one second sheet of glass glued to one another via a first adhesive interlayer, the first sheet of glass being intended to constitute the surface of the laminated glazing unit in contact with the outside atmosphere, in which the laminated glazing unit further includes, between the first sheet of glass and the second sheet of glass, an LOC (Localizer) antenna receiving between 100 and 120 MHz and a GLIDE (Slope) antenna receiving between 320 and 340 MHz, each antenna having dimensions that are sufficiently small not to hamper the vision, even to be practically invisible through the laminated glazing unit.

  • Patent number: 10906626
    Abstract: A laminated glazing includes a first structural ply assembled with a first glass sheet of 0.5 to 1.5 mm thickness by way of a first adhesive interlayer, the first glass sheet forming a first exterior face of the laminated glazing, the face of the first glass sheet oriented toward the first adhesive interlayer bearing a first conductive heating layer of 2 ?ngströms to 500 nm thickness, and the first conductive heating layer including flow-separating lines of 0.05 to 0.2 mm thickness spaced apart by 8 to 20 mm.

  • Patent number: 10836142
    Abstract: A laminated glazing includes one or two plies of 0.5 to 12 mm thickness, and one or more structural plies of 3 to 20 mm thickness, wherein at least that face of at least one ply of 0.5 to 12 mm thickness which is oriented toward the one or more structural plies and/or at least one face of the latter includes an electrically conductive layer of thickness comprised between 2 and 1600 nm, except on at least one ablation line, the edges of this line having no hem, and their average slope being at most equal to 5%.

  • Patent number: 8946597
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method of obtaining a heated window, comprising depositing a continuous thin film of a transparent electronically conductive oxide, having a sheet resistance that is uniform over the entire area of the film, on a glass sheet; and subjecting the thin film to a plasma treatment in which a device that emits excited species of an oxygen plasma is placed facing a region of the thin film, and then a relative movement is created between the thin film and the device in order to treat differentially the various regions of the thin film, so that after the thin film has been treated it has regions with different sheet resistances.

  • Patent number: 8471177
    Abstract: A laminated heated glazing including at least two superposed transparent and mechanically strong substrate panes with interposition of an interlayer made of a transparent plastic between two adjacent panes. The glazing further includes, in its thickness or on the surface, at least one thin transparent conductive film that extends over at least part of the glazing, the film or films being heated for deicing and/or demisting by Joule effect, at least one film having flow separation lines formed by etching to guide current from one band to the other. The width of the flow separation lines is small enough for them to be invisible to the naked eye in the laminated heated glazing.

  • Patent number: 7929194
    Abstract: Glazing comprising, in succession: a first rigid substrate (S1); a second rigid substrate (S2); a third rigid substrate (S3); at least one “active” system (A) that includes at least one layer and is placed between the substrates (S1 and S2), the first substrate (S1) optionally being set back in relation to the other two substrates (S2, S3); and at least one polymer film having the function of retaining glazing fragments should the glazing break, said film being placed between the substrate (S1) and the substrate (S2) and between the substrate (S2) and the substrate (S3).
