Abstract: A chemical vapour deposition process for preparing a coated glass substrate, said process comprising at least the following steps in sequence: a) providing a glass substrate having a surface, b) depositing a layer based on SiCO and/or SiNO on the surface of the glass substrate, c) exposing the layer based on SiCO and/or SiNO to a gaseous mixture (i) comprising water, and d) subsequently depositing a layer based on a TCO over the layer based on SiCO and/or SiNO.

Abstract: A combination of a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) coater and at least one capacitive proximity sensor, comprising: a CVD coater, and at least one capacitive proximity sensor attached to the CVD coater, wherein the at least one capacitive proximity sensor is arranged to determine the distance between a glass substrate and the CVD coater.

Abstract: A coated glazing includes a transparent glass substrate and a coating located on the glass substrate. The coating includes at least the following layers in sequence starting from the glass substrate: a first layer having a refractive index of more than 1.6, an optional second layer having a refractive index that is less than the refractive index of the first layer, a third layer based on tin dioxide doped with fluorine, and a fourth layer based on titanium oxide, wherein the fourth layer is photocatalytic.

Abstract: Information about a drug-containing vessel is determined by capturing image data of the curved surface of a cylindrical portion of a drug-containing vessel. The image data is unfurled from around the curved surface, binarised, and a template matching algorithm employed to determine that the label information comprises candidate information about the vessel and/or the drug.

Abstract: A method of communicating data imperceptibly in an audio signal. The method comprises, for each sub-band of the audio signal, identifying the tone in that sub-band having the highest amplitude. An audio code comprising the data to be communicated is scaled by a frequency mask profile, the frequency mask profile having maxima at the frequencies of the identified tones. The audio signal and the scaled audio code are aggregated to form a composite audio signal. The composite audio signal is then transmitted.

Abstract: Compounds of formula I in which R1, R2, R3, each X, L, Y, Cy, Lp, D and n have the meanings as set out in the specification, and corresponding compounds in which the unsubstituted or substituted amidine group is replaced with an unsubstituted or substituted aminomethyl group, are useful as serine protease inhibitors.

Abstract: Dual coated glass sheets comprise a photocatalytically active self cleaning coating on one surface and heat reflecting coating on the second surface selected so that its single surface reflectivity is either at least three times or less than one third that of the self cleaning coating. The selection of the heat reflecting coating provides a sheet having an improved appearance. Such dual coated sheets combine self cleaning properties with solar control or low emissivity properties and are useful as building glasses.

Abstract: A process for the production of durable photocatalytically active self-cleaning coating on glass by contacting a hot glass surface with a fluid mixture of titanium chloride, a source of oxygen and a tin precursor. The coating preferably comprises less than 10 atom % tin in the bulk of the coating and preferably there is a greater atomic percent tin in the surface of the coating than there is in the bulk of the coating. Preferably, the coating is durable to abrasion and humidity cycling.
