  • Low reflectance, low emissivity sputtered film
    Patent number: 4462884
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing by cathode sputtering a silver/copper coated article which duplicates the low reflectance colored appearance of a silver/copper coated article produced by wet chemical deposition. The method involves depositing the silver layer in a discontinuous agglomerated state.
    Type: Grant

  • Electroconductive window having improved bus bar
    Patent number: 4361751
    Abstract: An electroconductive laminated window having an electroconductive coating applied to one interior substrate surface with a pair of bus bars electrically connecting a source of electrical potential thereto. The bus bars include an electroconductive layer having volume resistivity less than about 10.sup.-2 ohm-cm interposed between and conformable to the surface configurations of the electroconductive coating and a flexible metallic current carrying member. The metallic current carrying member is preferably a mesh of thin copper foil which is substantially bendable in its own plane, and the electroconductive layer is preferably a metallic layer substantially free of non-metallic components, consisting of a mixture of finely divided electroconductive particles and finely divided metal alloy particles having a fusion temperature between about 70.degree. C. and about 150.degree. C.
