Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an improved anti-reflective architectural or automotive glass. The glass may include a porous, nano-structured anti-reflective coating on at least one side of a glass product, including tempered or laminated glass. The porous, nano-structured anti-reflective coating may include pores increasing in size from a base layer at a glass substrate towards a porous surface. The porous, nano-structured anti-reflective coating, in some embodiments, may be on both surfaces of a glass product. Alternative embodiments include a painted surface on a second side of the glass product to provide an improved aesthetic glass design.

Abstract: A laminated glass product, according to the present disclosure, includes a first glass substrate, a second glass substrate, a polymer interlayer laminated between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, a functional film, such as a head-up display film, a printed film, and a switchable film, laminated between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, and a thin adhesive layer formed on the functional film between the functional film and one of the first and second glass substrates, for efficiently laminating such a functional film with improved lamination quality.

Abstract: Disclosed is a glass window having a luminous capability, which is suitable for use in automotive applications, architectural applications, or other applications. Exemplary embodiments of a glass window having a luminous capability include one or more glass sheet layers, a thin film layer having fine particles dispersed in a matrix of a thin film material, and at least one light source for introducing light into the thin film layer. The fine particles scatter the light and generate luminousness of the glass window. Exemplary embodiments of a glass window having luminous capability may further include one or more resinous sheet layers or one or more interlayers such as a plastic film layer.

Abstract: A laminated glass for a window, comprising: a first glass sheet layer comprising a first main surface to face an outside of the window and a second main surface facing other layers; a second glass sheet layer comprising a third main surface facing other layers and a fourth main glass surface to face a room side; an IR-reflective coating layer, comprising at least one silver layer, on a whole area of at least one of the second and third main surfaces; a first intermediate polymer film layer between the first and the second glass sheet layers; and a sealant on all the way through an edge portion of the IR-reflective coating layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) glass construction which is suitable for use in automotive applications, and a method for forming a PDLC glass construction suitable for use in automotive applications. Exemplary embodiments of a PDLC glass construction include at least one darkened layer on a top side of a PDLC film, and at least one darkened layer on a bottom side of the PDLC film, for reducing visibility of an opaque PDLC material through the PDLC glass construction while reducing the transmission of visible light and/or energy through the PDLC glass construction. Exemplary embodiments of a PDLC glass construction may include additional interlayers such as polymer films, infrared reflecting (IR) coatings/layers, paint(s), low-emissivity (low-E) coatings, ultraviolet (UV) blocking materials, and/or anti-condensation layers.

Abstract: A sports training aid for improving the mechanics of a sports player conducting a sports movement is disclosed. The sports training aid may comprise a foot placement surface or area that is simultaneously inclined in two directions. The sports training aid may be inclined from both the front to the back of the sports training aid and from one side of the sports training aid to the other side of the training aid. When positioning a player's foot on the sports training aid, the toes of the player's foot are raised above the heel of the player's foot and the outsole of the player's foot is raised above the insole of the player's foot. A method for training a sports player using the sports training aid is also disclosed.
