  • Publication number: 20230393385
    Abstract: The invention relates to glazing (1) comprising a first glazing sheet (10; 10A, 10B) forming a substrate on which at least one film of an electrochemical system (12) is formed, said system having optical and/or energy-related properties that are electrically controllable, a second glazing sheet (14) forming a counter-substrate, and a third glazing sheet (18). The substrate has characteristics that allow it to be obtained by being cut from a motherboard on which motherboard at least one film of the electrochemical system (12) is formed. The substrate is located between the counter-substrate (14) and the third glazing sheet (18) and is set back relative to the counter-substrate (14) and relative to the third glazing sheet (18) over the entire circumference of the substrate (10; 10A, 10B).

  • Patent number: 8044415
    Abstract: A luminous structure based on light-emitting diodes, which includes: a first dielectric element with a substantially plane main face associated with a first electrode; a second dielectric element with a substantially plane main face associated with a second electrode that faces the first electrode and lies in a different plane; at least a first light-emitting diode including a semiconductor chip including, on first and second opposed faces, first and second electrical contacts, the first electrical contact being electrically connected to the first electrode, the second electrical contact being electrically connected to the second electrode, and at least the first element at least partly transmitting radiation within the ultraviolet or in the visible.

  • Patent number: 6302681
    Abstract: A process and a device for duplicate molding on at least one part of a glazing, placed in a mold, particularly a monolithic or laminated glazing, of glass and/or of transparent plastic, by injection of plastic has at least two stations: a main station for the pressurization of a first mold, the injection of a plastic and the release of the molding pressure of the mold. Additional operations are being performed on a second mold at an auxiliary station. Transfers of the molds from the auxiliary station to the main station and vice versa are provided.

  • Patent number: 5492951
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the treatment of the periphery of a glass, more particularly an encapsulated glass, which consists of treating part of the surface of the glass by at least one silane and a composition able to form a layer having free OH groups. This process is useful for treating glass so that a resin, such as a polyurethane, upon contact with the treated glass will readily adhere and bond to the glass. The treated glass can be fitted into car body bays or openings.
