  • Patent number: 7005182
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a glazing comprising: a substrate made of colored soda-lime glass composed of main glass-forming constituents and of coloring agents, which exhibits a selectivity (LT/ET) of at least 1.1, measured with Illuminant C for a glass thickness of 4 mm, and a coating deposited by pyrolysis on the colored glass substrate. The coating is a coating which provides the coated glazing with an increased selectivity with respect to the selectivity of the uncoated colored glass. Such a glazing is particularly used for vehicles of the motor vehicle or train type, or alternatively for buildings.

  • Patent number: 6808806
    Abstract: Methods and devices for producing images on coated articles are provided. The methods generally comprise applying a layer of magnetizable pigment coating in liquid form on a substrate, with the magnetizable pigment coating containing a plurality of magnetic non-spherical particles or flakes. A magnetic field is then applied to selected regions of the pigment coating while the coating is in liquid form, with the magnetic field altering the orientation of selected magnetic particles or flakes. Finally, the pigment coating is solidified, affixing the reoriented particles or flakes in a non-parallel position to the surface of the pigment coating to produce an image such as a three dimensional-like image on the surface of the coating. The pigment coating can contain various interference or non-interference magnetic particles or flakes, such as magnetic color shifting pigments.
