  • Patent number: 11885994
    Abstract: A dichroic coating can be applied to a glass window of an electronic device to enhance the cosmetic and aesthetic appeal of the device. Different processes can be applied to the glass window in combination with a dichroic coating. For example, a layer of ink can be applied to the glass window in addition to one or more layers of dichroic material. The material layers can cover any suitable portion of the glass. For example, the material layers can include holes or openings. As another example, the material layers can be constructed from several distinct shapes placed on the glass. In some cases, software applications can be used to define a desired color profile for a coating, and to retrieve a suitable combination of dichroic and other layers to provide the desired color profile.

  • Publication number: 20030116693
    Abstract: Device for the alumino-thermic welding of two ends of a rail A device for the alumino-thermic welding of two ends of a rail, namely a casting mould (4) which is open on the upperside and which comprises a central casting chamber which is defined by the rail ends, which are spaced apart from each other by a welding groove (3), and also by the walls of the casting mould (4) and to the side of the casting chamber said casting mould comprises at least one riser (13) which is permeably connected to the casting chamber only in the region of the rail foot (11), and wherein a reaction pot (1) is provided on the base side with an outflow device which causes a steel melt to flow out of the reaction pot (1) and into the casting mould (4), is configured substantially to obviate turbulent flow conditions inside the casting mould and to homogenise the solidification of an intermediate cast structure between the ends of the rail such that the steel issuing out of the reaction pot (1) after the completion of an alumino-therm
