  • Patent number: 6042924
    Abstract: A laminated glass pane with a transparent functional film embedded between laminating layers, said functional film incorporating a recess, wherein in the area of the recess of the functional film is arranged a transparent auxiliary film whose thickness is essentially the same as the thickness of the functional film. To prevent faults in optical transmission in the area of the recess, the auxiliary film overlaps the edge of the recess at least slightly in some areas.

  • Patent number: 6009726
    Abstract: Process for bending the outer glass pane and the inner glass pane of laminated safety glass panes bend with predefined curvature geometry. The press-bending system incorporates a bending station, a discharge station, as well as between bending station and discharge station, a conveyor shuttle. The glass panes to be bent, heated to bending temperature, are introduced singly into the bending station with the aid of a transfer line and are bent in it, taking account of the predefined curvature geometry of the laminated safety glass panes. The outer glass pane and the inner glass pane are subjected to optimizing bending at a temperature, which is in the lower bending temperature range, in the discharge station assigned to them. To carry out optimizing bending, the glass panes are lifted off the conveyor shuttle with the aid of a take-off device, which take-off device possesses an optimizing contour at least in the edge area.

  • Patent number: 5898407
    Abstract: A motor vehicle, especially a passenger vehicle, has a metallic body provided with a window opening receiving an antenna window. The antenna window has inner and outer panes bonded together by a bonding layer with an optically-transparent electrically-conductive solar central coating reducing transmission in at least a part of the solar energy range. At least one edge of the window is left free from the coating and in this region a slot antenna is formed. At least at one additional edge, the coating runs to that edge and is overlapped by the framing portion of the vehicle body and is coupled with a high-frequency coupling to the coating.

  • Patent number: 5864319
    Abstract: An antenna pane has a transparent sheet in which is imbedded a plurality of conductors at least some of which serve as antennas. It is tested by applying a test signal to one of the conductors and thereby transmitting the test signal from the one conductor, receiving the test signal with the other conductors serving as antennas, and evaluating the test signal received by the other conductors serving as antennas. The conductors serving as antennas of the pane are connected to a diversity processor and therethrough with a receiver. The test signal is produced by a signal generator operated by the diversity processor.
