  • Patent number: 9875384
    Abstract: A method for reading symbols forming a code, the symbols each being marked on one face of a number of glass sheets in proximity to the same edge face of the glass sheets, the glass sheets being arranged in a stack. The method includes acquiring, with a camera, at least one image via the edge face of the glass sheets, the observation direction being non-perpendicular and inclined relative to the edge face of each of the glass sheets the code of which is read with the image; and an image processing step in which the acquired image is processed by a processor programmed to extract information present in at least one code visible in the image and having to be read.

  • Publication number: 20110242664
    Abstract: An optical assembly configured to display an image on a solar panel covered on at least a part of its surface with a lenticular array, between which an image in the form of substantially equidistant parallel bands with a specific pitch is arranged. The lenticular array has a plane internal surface and an external surface formed by external faces of a series of adjacent identical transparent cylindrical elements whose generatrices are parallel to the bands. The external side of the base of each cylindrical element has an asymmetric profile. The width of each cylindrical element is equal to the pitch of the bands. The bands are arranged so that, for a first angle range of given incidences at which the optical assembly is intended to be observed, radiation can reach a zone in which a band is arranged, and for a second angle range of lower given incidences, radiation can reach an active surface of the solar panel in a zone at least partially not masked by the bands.

  • Publication number: 20110209761
    Abstract: This flat mineral glass comprises a first free surface and a second free surface, and comprises groups of zones having a high refractive index (n2) and zones having a low refractive index (n1) which are formed in the thickness of the flat glass between the first and second free surfaces, over a depth of between 1 and 1000 ?m starting from the first free surface. These high-index zones and low-index zones alternate along a direction transverse to the thickness direction of the glass between the first and second free surfaces, the high-index zones flaring out from the first free surface toward the second free surface, and the envelope surfaces of the high-index zones making an angle (?) of at least 65° with respect to the first free surface.

  • Publication number: 20100116332
    Abstract: This substrate, having a glass function, is combined with a textured electrode comprising at least one transparent conductive layer based on one or more metal oxides, said layer being covered with at least one functional layer of an element capable of collecting light, and is covered with an interface layer having a textured part comprising a repetition of periodic or aperiodic features in relief.
