Abstract: A glazing comprises a glass substrate having an enamel layer adhered to at least a first surface portion, the enamel comprising 20 to 80 wt % frit and 10 to 50 wt % inorganic pigment. The thickness of the enamel layer is 2 ?m to 50 ?m, and the inorganic pigment has an infra-red reflectance such that the infra-red reflectance of the first portion of the glass substrate surface is 37% or higher over a region in the wavelength range 800 nm to 2250 nm. The glazing may be laminated, and may be a vehicle windscreen. A process for producing the glazing involves applying ink to a glass substrate, curing the ink thereby producing an enamel adhered to the glass substrate, and shaping the glass substrate by heating to a temperature above 570° C. The preferred inorganic pigments are of the Fe and/or Cr type in spinel, haematite or corundum crystal form.

Abstract: The present description relates to a computer-implemented method, a computer program product and an embedded system for displaying data more efficiently, wherein the embedded system comprises an integrated circuit and a convertor, and the integrated circuit includes an image codec. The method comprises receiving a string at the embedded system; generating a converted image using the string; producing, by means of the image codec, a decoded image by decoding the converted image; and sending the decoded image to a display device.

Abstract: The present description refers in particular to a computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and an embedded system for increasing the speed of data retrieval by a client on the embedded system. The embedded system executes a client and an intermediary, wherein the client and the intermediary are executed separately, and wherein the intermediary manages the storing component. A request may be received from the client at the intermediary, for a first content element of a document. The intermediary determines whether the first content element is stored in a storing component and when the first content element is stored in the storing component: retrieves the first content element from the storing component; and sends the first content element from the intermediary to the client.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coated glass pane with a low-e and/or solar control coating comprising at least one layer sequence which comprises at least the following transparent layers: a lower anti-reflection layer, an IR-reflecting layer, an upper anti-reflection layer. At least one of the anti-reflection layers comprises at least one compound layer containing a mixture of an (oxy)nitride of Si and/or Al and of ZnO. The inventive coated glass panes are preferably heat treatable, e.g. toughenable and/or bendable.

Abstract: Glazing Panels suitable for vehicle windscreens comprise a solid coloured obscuration band (24) around the perimeter, a fade out band (26) extending inwardly therefrom and a multilayer transparent infra-red reflective and/or absorbing coating (28) have the outer edge of the coating positioned so as to lie within the fade out band (26). The panel reduces reflection caused by the transition between coated and uncoated areas of the glass. The panels may be laminates or bilayers.

Abstract: A process for supplying plants for the coating of substrates involves introducing the substrates batchwise into the vacuum plant and, subsequently, dividing said batches into single substrates in order to allow recovery of the unsaturation percentage, which is connected to the method used to feed in the batch.The device suitable to provide this process is made up of transport sections capable of giving the substrates forming the batch different speeds from one another, so as to separate them and line them up, with a pre-set constant spacing, in a continuous line of substrates feeding the process chambers (B3, C3).

Abstract: A process for improving the durability of a thin transparent coating deposited on a transparent substrate such as glass for controlling the spectrophotometric properties of said substrate, which consists of the deposition of one thin transparent layer of ZrO.sub.2-x or Zr transparent alloy oxides or a combination of transparent alloys containing ZrO.sub.2-x, according to a physical vapor deposition method that could be the same as the one utilized for the deposition of the base coating, without considerably altering its spectrophotometric features.
