Patent number: 12151613Abstract: An anti-collision warning system for a vehicle door includes a sensing module, a detection module, and a warning module. The sensing module is configured to sense whether a passenger has an intention to open a vehicle door and output a sensing result. The control module is coupled to the sensing module, the detection module and warning module, and the control module is configured to control the warning module to issue an alert based on information on traffic conditions from the detection module in response to the sensing result being YES. The anti-collision warning system can issue an alert to the passenger in a timely and effective manner when it senses that the passenger has the intention to open the vehicle door. Therefore, the passenger would be alerted and determine whether it is an appropriate time to open the vehicle door, thus preventing the vehicle door from colliding with an object.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCEInventors: Siteng Ma, Simon Le Moal, Xiaofeng Guo

Patent number: 10367142Abstract: A layered structure suitable as a support for an organic light emitting device (OLED), includes a light-transmissive glass substrate, a diffusive internal extraction layer (IEL) with an outer layer made of a glass containing at least 30 weight % of Bi2O3, formed on one side of the light-transmissive glass substrate, and an acid-resistant barrier layer formed on the IEL. The acid-resistant barrier layer has a bilayer structure made of an ALD-deposited metal oxide layer, the metal oxide being selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium oxide (TiO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2) and hafnium oxide (HfO2), in contact with the IEL, and a sputter-deposited SiOxNy layer in contact with the ALD-deposited metal oxide layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCEInventors: Young Seong Lee, Simon Le Moal, Jinwoo Han

Patent number: 9588059Abstract: A method for analyzing quality of a glazing including: generating at least one digital image of a test chart produced in reflection by an external surface of the glazing on an outside of the glazing; computation by at least one processing unit of quantities representative of the quality of the glazing based on the at least one image generated; and comparing values computed for the representative quantities with respect to reference values. The test chart exhibits a pattern including elements of closed contours arranged periodically. The representative quantities are representative of a deformation of the image of the test chart produced in reflection by the external surface of the glazing on the outside of the glazing, and the computation of a representative quantity includes the computation of a density of the elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2012Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCEInventor: Simon Le Moal
