  • Patent number: 10703073
    Abstract: A vehicle composite pane with an integrated light sensor is disclosed. The vehicle composite pane includes an outer pane and an inner pane that are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. A plurality of photodiodes situated on a circuit board are arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane. The photodiodes are surface-mounted device (SMD) components. The photodiodes are arranged on the circuit board as groups of parallel connected photodiodes. All groups of the parallel connected photodiodes are connected to a common electrical input and each group is connected to a separate electrical output.

  • Patent number: 7903042
    Abstract: An antenna arrangement for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals includes a flat carrier substrate made of a dielectric material, a first conducting track applied to a surface of the carrier substrate, a second conducting track applied to an other surface of the carrier substrate. The first conducting track includes at one end a point of contact to gather or inject signals and a first dipole at the opposite end. The second conducting track includes at one end a point of contact to gather or inject the signals and a second dipole at the opposite end. The first and the second dipoles form a crossed dipole. The antenna arrangement may be disposed on a glazing.
