Patents by Inventor Anette Berni

Anette Berni has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8034435
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic film with an interference multilayer system applied thereon that comprises at least two layers. Said layers can be obtained by hardening and/or applying thermal treatment to a coating composition containing nanoscale inorganic solid particles having polymerizable and/or polycondensable organic surface groups, thereby forming a layer that is crosslinked by means of the polymerizable and/or polycondensable organic surface groups. The films can be used as an optical laminating film.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2011
    Assignee: Tomoegawa Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Andreas Zimmermann, Fumio Kita, Anette Berni, Martin Mennig, Peter W. Oliveira, Helmut Schmidt, Takamasa Harada
  • Publication number: 20090141359
    Abstract: A polymer film with an optical interference system. The optical interference system comprises at least two layers of different refractive index, which layers comprise nanoscale inorganic particles having organic surface groups that are polymerizable and/or polycondensable. The layers are at least partially crosslinked through the organic surface groups.

  • Publication number: 20030059540
    Abstract: Process for producing substrates with a layer comprising an inorganic gel, glass, glass-ceramic or ceramic material, in which a coating composition comprising nanosize particles and water soluble organic flexibilizers is applied to the substrate and heat treated. Crack-free and transparent thick films can be obtained by means of the process. The coated substrates are particularly suitable for optical, optoelectronic, electronic, micromechanical or dirt-repellent components.

  • Patent number: 6005705
    Abstract: A description is given of electrochromic thin-film systems and their components, especially an improved electrochromic thin-film based on tungsten oxide and/or molybdenum oxide into which alkali metal ions are incorporated, an electrolyte which is improved in particular with respect to its conductivity and is based on pre-hydrolysed, organically modified alkoxysilane and on organic diol (triol), and an improved process for producing a noncolouring ion insertion layer based on cerium oxides and titanium oxides.
