Patent number: 8834976Abstract: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to articles including anticondensation and/or low-E coatings that are exposed to an external environment, and/or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the anticondensation and/or low-E coatings may be survivable in an outside environment. The coatings also may have a sufficiently low sheet resistance and hemispherical emissivity such that the glass surface is more likely to retain heat from the interior area, thereby reducing (and sometimes completely eliminating) the presence condensation thereon. The articles of certain example embodiments may be, for example, skylights, vehicle windows or windshields, IG units, VIG units, refrigerator/freezer doors, and/or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignees: Guardian Industries Corp., Centre Luxembourgeois de Recherches pour le Verre et al Ceramique S.A. (C.R.V.C.)Inventors: Jean-Marc Lemmer, Nestor P. Murphy, David D. McLean, Richard Blacker, Herbert Lage, Jose Ferreira, Pierre Pallotta

Publication number: 20140150497Abstract: A method of making a heat treated (HT) or heat treatable coated article. A method of making a coated article includes a step of heat treating a glass substrate coated with at least layer of or including carbon (e.g., diamond-like carbon (DLC)) and an overlying protective film thereon. In certain example embodiments, the protective film may be of or include both (a) an oxygen blocking or barrier layer, and (b) a release layer of or including zinc oxide. Treating the zinc oxide inclusive release layer with plasma including oxygen (e.g., via ion beam treatment) improves thermal stability and/or quality of the product. Following and/or during heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering, or the like) the protective film may be entirely or partially removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2012Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: GUARDIAN INDUSTRIES CORP.Inventors: Jens-Peter MULLER, Herbert LAGE, Thorsten FROST, Vijayen S.

Patent number: 8580336Abstract: A method of making a heat treated coated article includes forming at least one layer comprising diamond-like carbon (DLC) on a glass substrate, and forming a removable protective film on the glass substrate over at least the layer comprising DLC. The removable protective film includes first and second inorganic layers, the first inorganic layer comprising zinc oxide and nitrogen and being located between the layer comprising DLC and the second inorganic layer. The glass substrate may be heat treated so that during the heat treating the protective film prevents significant burnoff of the layer comprising DLC.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignees: Guardian Industries Corp., Centre Luxembourg de Recherches pour le Verre et al.

Patent number: 8506737Abstract: A method of making an insulating glass (IG) window unit includes: having a coated article including a multi-layered low-E coating on a glass substrate; at least two flexible protective sheets adhered to a top surface of the low-E coating via at least an adhesive layer, and a protective coating over the low-E coating and/or over at least one of the flexible protective sheets in order to substantially fill one or more gaps formed between the low-E coating and the flexible protective sheet(s) and/or between the flexible protective sheets; and following cutting, edge seaming, and/or washing, removing at least part of the temporary protective coating by peeling the protective sheets off and removing at least part of the protective coating when peeling off the protective sheets.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2012Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignees: Centre Luxembourgeois de Recherches pour le Verre et al Ceramique S.A.

Publication number: 20130164464Abstract: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to coated articles with low-E coatings having one or more barrier layer systems including multiple dielectric layers, and/or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, providing barrier layer systems that each include three or more adjacent dielectric layers advantageously increases layer quality, mechanical durability, corrosion resistance, and/or thermal stability, e.g., by virtue of the increased number of interfaces. These barrier layer systems may be provided above and/or below an infrared (IR) reflecting layer in the low-E coating in different embodiments. Coated articles according to certain example embodiments of this invention may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units, vehicle windows, other types of windows, or in any other suitable application.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2011Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: Centre Luxembourgeois de Recherches pour le Verre et la Ceramique S.A.

Publication number: 20030044120Abstract: A method for aligning an optical fibre to a semiconductor laser device (1) having an active lasing region (2) and at least one fiducial (3) made of the same layer as the active lasing region (2). The laser die is etched with HCI to expose a top surface of the fiducial (3), whilst masking the die at least in the region of the active lasing region. The exposed surface of the fiducial (3) can then be detected in all three X, Y and Z dimensions so that an exact position of the active lasing region (2) can be calculated. The optical fibre can then be accurately aligned with the active lasing region based on the exact calculated position thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2002Publication date: March 6, 2003Applicant: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christine Mignosi, Ken Kennedy, Herbert Lage, Serian Southgate, Andrea Leeks

Patent number: 5385865Abstract: A novel unipolar transistor device has been realized starting from two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) in modulation-doped AlGaAS/GaAs heterostructures. A 600 nm wide 1D channel is insulated laterally from 2DES regimes by 700 nm wide deep mesa etched trenches. The conductivity in the quasi-one-dimensional channel can be tuned via the in-plane lateral-field effect of the adjacent 2DES-gates where the vacuum (or air) in the etched trenches serves as the dielectric. Room temperature operation is demonstrated yielding a 161S transconductance corresponding to 160 mS/mm 2D transconductance.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1991Date of Patent: January 31, 1995Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Zur Forderung Der WissenschaftenInventors: Johannes Nieder, Peter Grambow, Herbert Lage, Klaus Ploog, Andreas Wieck, Detlef Heitmann, Klaus Von Klitzing
