Abstract: An improved anti-reflection glass with higher transmittance (?Tqe %) results from a coating of or including tin oxide (e.g., SnO2) nanoparticles (e.g., 10-20 nm in size) applied to a surface of solar float or matte/matte glass. The tin oxide based coating layer shows improved chemical stability and durability and can be prepared using a sol-gel process and applied by spin coating. Matte/matte anti-reflection glass samples may have two coating layers (e.g., SnO2 nanoparticles on the rough side and SiO2 nanoparticles on the smooth side) and exhibit an improved transmittance (e.g., visible transmittance) of at least 2.0%, e.g., about 3.5%. As high as a 30% increase of ?Tqe % has been observed when anti-reflection matte/matte glass coated with SnO2 is exposed in a salt fog chamber for 5 days. The increase in transmittance may be due to the different pore structure of the SnO2 coating layer, while the increase of Tqe % in a salt fog chamber may be due to the crystalline SnO2 formation.

Abstract: A method for deploying computer networks in a network environment is disclosed. Initially, a broadcast message is transmitted by a network device within a server to a network in order to investigate the availability of the network. A determination is made as to whether or not a response message responding to the broadcast message has been received by the network device within the server. If a response message has been received by the network device, it means the network is available and the network device can be configured to connect with the network. However, if no response message has been received by the network device, it means the network is not available and the network device can be configured as a server node of the network.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to a coated article including a coating formed from a sol that has hydrophobic surface properties. The sol may include a mixture of at least two alkylsiloxane chemicals, with the sol potentially being aged for a certain comparatively short amount of time before being wet-applied to a major substrate surface. The application process may also undergo a certain comparatively short curing process to help provide hydrophobic surface properties. The hydrophobic surface properties help provide anti-soiling functions that are advantageous in a variety of applications including, for example, solar mirror applications.
