  • Patent number: 11376820
    Abstract: A method of fabrication of a laminated glazing unit, includes cutting out a first through-hole in a first glass sheet; positioning a conducting wire and a film of thermoplastic polymer between the first glass sheet and a second glass sheet so that a first extremity and a second extremity of the conducting wire extend outside the laminated glazing unit to be formed, and feeding out the first extremity of the conducting wire via the first through-hole so that the first extremity exits the laminated glazing unit to be formed via the first through-hole, the conducting wire extending continuously from the first extremity to the second extremity, and after the positioning and feeding out, assembling the conducting wire, the film of thermoplastic polymer, the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet all together to form the laminated glazing.

  • Patent number: 10737469
    Abstract: A vehicle antenna pane for separating a vehicle interior from external surroundings is presented. The pane has features that include an inner pane, an outer pane, at least one intermediate layer that connects an internal surface of the outer pane areally to an external surface of the inner pane, a planar antenna structure that is arranged between the inner pane and the outer pane, and a base plate that is arranged on an interior side in relation to the antenna structure. A dielectric is arranged between the antenna structure and the base plate, the dielectric being provided by means of the inner pane and the intermediate layer. A base of the antenna structure has a ratio of a length to a width of 1:1 to 10:1.

  • Patent number: 10665919
    Abstract: An antenna pane is presented. The antenna pane has features that include an inner pane having an internal surface, an antenna structure made of an electrically conductive paste that is printed and fired into the internal surface of the inner pane, and a dielectric carrier element that is connected to the internal surface of the inner pane via an external surface of the dielectric carrier element. In one aspect, an internal surface of the dielectric carrier element has an electrically conductive base plate that is arranged in a region of an orthogonal projection of the antenna structure relative to the inner panel.
