Abstract: A method for manufacturing a glazing. A low-emissivity protected glass piece has a low-emissivity coating applied to a second face thereof and a protective film covering the low-emissivity coating. The glass piece is placed on a surface of a screen printing table, the protective layer being in contact with said surface. Acid etching is performed with an acid paste which attacks the first face of the low-e protected glass piece to print visual markers thereon using a screen printing canvas on the first face. After waiting, the first face of the low-e protected glass piece is washed to remove the acid paste to obtain a permanent frosted finish pattern forming the bird-friendly visual markers on the first face. The protective film is removed to obtain a low-e marked glass having visual markers on one side and a low-e coating on another side, and then the marked glass is tempered.
Abstract: The present document describes a boat windshield assembly for installation on a boat deck, the boat windshield assembly comprising a hidden frame structure having an upper frame member; and a windshield comprising a lower edge and an upper edge opposite the lower edge, the lower edge running near the boat deck and the upper edge running near the upper frame member, the windshield substantially hiding the upper frame member; wherein the upper edge of the windshield and the upper frame member together define an upper channel for use in securing a boat covering device to the boat windshield assembly.

Abstract: A rigidified window system includes a window and at least one supporting brace. The at least one supporting brace is bonded to the surface of the window using an adhesive offering a predetermined elasticity to the bond. Moreover, the quantity, shape, width, length and height and material used to manufacture the at least one supporting brace are selected in order to allow a certain flexibility of said window and the at least one supporting brace. The elasticity of the bond and the flexibility of the window and the at least one supporting brace provide absorption of the forces created by an impact, the absorption being shared between the window, the bond and the at least one supporting brace.
Abstract: An attachment system for attaching an electric cable to a window pane. The system includes a generally elongated plate having a width approximately equal to a thickness of said pane, the plate being provided with a plurality of holes. A socket is fastened to the plate and is shaped and sized to receive a portion of the electric cable within it, the socket being in communication with an opening provided in the plate in order to permit electrical conductors to pass through the plate. The electric cable is fastened to the plate and the plate is fastened to an edge of the pane, in order to resist a 35 lb traction.
