Abstract: A container is provided that includes a container body with an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface contains silicon oxide and the silicon oxide containing inner surface is at least partially modified with a fluorine containing compound. The fluorine containing compound is chemically bonded to the silicon oxide of the container body via at least one Si—O—Si bond.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container comprising a container body having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface contains silicon oxide; and the silicon oxide containing inner surface is at least partially modified with a fluorine containing compound, wherein the fluorine containing compound is chemically bonded to the silicon oxide of the container body via at least one Si—O—Si bond.

Abstract: An operating panel for a household appliance is provided with at least one user interface. The operating panel includes a planar support with an outer support surface facing an external region; a planar glass or glass-ceramic substrate with an outer substrate surface facing the external region and an opposite-lying inner substrate surface facing away from the external region and facing the outer support surface; a display element affixed to the support for luminous indication of information, which is preferably disposed on the outer support surface; and a sensor arrangement having at least two sensors, each of which comprises at least one electrode and is disposed on the inner substrate surface, for interaction with a user located in the external region.

Abstract: A two-dimensional sensor arrangement is provided that detects locations, e.g. finger locations, in two or three dimensions, which is particularly suitable for touch-sensitive touchpads or touchscreens. The sensor arrangement includes a sensing zone in which a plurality of sensors are arranged, and contact zone, e.g. externally thereto, in which a plurality of electrically conductive contact points are arranged, which are connected to the sensors. The number of contact points is very small, although the electrically conductive components of the sensor arrangement form a single-layered network.

Abstract: A transparent electrical conductor with a transparent substrate and an electrically conductive layer on the substrate are provided. The conductive layer has a plurality of electrically conductive nanoscale additives. The additives are in electrically conductive contact with one another, in order to form the electrically conductive layer. The substrate is formed from a glass or glass-ceramic material or a composite material having a glass and/or glass-ceramic. The additives are embedded in a matrix layer at least in some regions. The matrix layer is formed by a transparent matrix material. In order to make such a transparent electrical conductor useful, particularly for application in a display, as a touch sensor, or the like for cooking surfaces, the transparent electrical conductor exhibits a temperature resistance of at least 140° C. The additives are dispersed in a matrix material, which is applied as a coating material onto the substrate in one coating step.
