Abstract: An insulated glass unit (IGU) comprises a first pane of a transparent material and a second pane of a transparent material. The second pane is spaced apart from the first pane to define a cavity therebetween. At least one of a spacer and an array of stand-off members is disposed between the first and second panes to maintain separation therebetween. A first adhesive layer forms at least a portion of a gas-tight connection between the first pane and the second pane. A highly gas-restrictive coating is disposed over the adhesive layer, where the coating is an inorganic layer.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated glass unit (VIGU) comprises a first pane of a transparent material and a second pane of a transparent material. The second pane is spaced apart from the first pane to define a cavity therebetween. At least one of a spacer and an array of stand-off members is disposed between the first and second panes to maintain separation therebetween. A first adhesive layer forms at least a portion of a gas-tight connection between the first pane and the second pane.

Abstract: A glass-to-metal bond structure comprises a metal substrate, a glass substrate and an oxide layer. The metal substrate is formed from a stainless steel alloy, a carbon steel, titanium, aluminum or copper. The glass substrate is formed from a soda-lime glass. The oxide layer is disposed between the metal substrate and the glass substrate, and includes iron oxide and chromium oxide. The oxide layer has an iron to chromium ratio within the range from 0.02 to 0.6 (atom ratio).

Abstract: A blue glass composition comprises a soda-lime-silica base and a colorant portion consisting essentially of about 0.4 to 0.65 weight percent total iron oxide, about 0.1 to 0.3 weight percent manganese oxide, and cobalt oxide in an amount effective to produce a cobalt concentration of about 0.0002 to 0.0013 weight percent (about 2 to 13 ppm). The glass is characterized by a ratio of ferrous oxide to total iron oxide between about 0.43 and 0.58. The glass composition exhibits a combination of high visible transmittance, high infrared absorption and enhanced blue coloration. This is attributed in large part to the combination of ferrous oxide and cobalt oxide and to the effect of manganese oxide in reducing iron sulfide formation and thereby avoiding amber coloration.

Abstract: A neutral gray, heat absorbing soda-lime-silica glass having at 4 mm. control thickness a light transmittance using illuminant A of 10.0% to 55.0%, ultra violet transmittance less than 25.0%, and infra red transmittance is less than about 50.0% produced with colorants consisting of 0.90 to 1.90 percent by weight total iron oxide as Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.002 to 0.025 percent Co, 0.0010 to 0.0060 percent Se, 0.10 to 1.0 percent MnO.sub.2, and 0 to 1.0 percent TiO.sub.2. The flat glass products having such a composition is particularly suitable for use as a privacy glass or sun roof product in trucks and automobiles.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for forming coatings comprising light metal fluorides on a substrate. More particularly, the coating comprising light metal fluorides is preferably made using sol-gel techniques and may comprise a concentration gradient of the light metal fluorides across the thickness of the coating to provide it with unique anti-reflective properties.

Abstract: Three-layer, low color purity, anti-reflection coatings reduce the reflection of visible light rays and display a low color purity when glazings carrying such coatings are oriented at high angles of incidence with respect to a source of visible light. The reflectances are comparable and the color purity values are lower for such glazings, when compared with conventional glazings coated with 1/4-178 -174 wavelength anti-reflection coatings.

Abstract: A blue glass composition comprises conventional soda-lime-silica glass ingredients and specific amounts of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, Co.sub.3 O.sub.4, NiO, and optionally Se, resulting in an Illuminant C transmittance of 54% .+-.3% at one quarter inch thickness, a dominant wavelength of 482 nm.+-.1 nm, and a color purity of 13% .+-.1%.

Abstract: A blue glass composition is disclosed. This blue glass composition is based on a standard formulation for soda/lime silica glass, except that neither the basic glass composition nor the coloring components therefor contains nickel. The blue glass color is developed by using coloring components consisting essentially of 0.3-0.6% Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.004-0.008% Co.sub.3 O.sub.4, and 0.0001-001% Se. The particular blue color of the glass is a neutral blue having a dominant wavelength of 482 nm.+-.1 nm, color purity of 13%.+-.1% and transmission (T) equal to at least 54%.+-.1% using Illuminant C (corrected to 0.25 inch glass thickness).

Abstract: Methods of making electrically heated windows (10, 100) and products produced thereby. In an embodiment of the method of our invention for producing a product of laminated construction (10), a pair of glass sheets (12, 20) are laminated together by an interposed laminated interlayer (18). This lamination is carried out in a manner that a first (12) of the pair of glass sheets defines both a first glass surface forming the outer surface of the window and a second glass surfaces in juxtaposition with the laminating interlayer, and a second (20) of the pair of glass sheets defines both a third glass surface in juxtaposition with the laminating interlayer and a fourth glass surface forming the inside surface of the window. An electrically conductive coating (16) is formed in association with one of the glass surfaces in juxtaposition with the laminating interlayer.
