Abstract

A method for adjusting at least two parameters of a coating process to manufacture a coated transparent substrate including a multi-layered coating according to a targeted value for at least one quality function for the coated transparent substrate. The method relies on a set of different mathematical prediction models in the training procedure, which, once trained, when they are used either sequentially, alternatively or in parallel, during the prediction procedure, allow to counteract or counterbalance drifts that may potentially occur from one of them. Outstanding benefits are that misbehaviours of current feedback methods may be prevented, that changes in the local atmosphere of deposit cells, and in turn in the chemistry of coated layers, which may occur from temperature and/or humidity variation, may be compensated, and that more than one coating process parameters may be adjusted at the same time.

Abstract

A material includes at least transparent substrate and has a functional coating or functional layer to act on solar radiation and/or infrared radiation. The material includes an absorbent element in the form of a layer, which in particular absorbs the solar radiation in the visible part of the spectrum and does so in a specific manner. The material has an absorption profile with at least a spike centered between 480 and 549 nm, and a second spike centered between 630 nm and 779 nm. The addition of a layer-form absorbent element exhibiting these two absorption spikes allows an improvement in thermal performance, particularly the selectivity, without having a great impact on the aesthetics of the glazing, so that in particular the transmission remains neutral.

Abstract

A computer implemented method classifies quench patterns of heat-treated uncoated or coated mineral glasses and predict the optical visibility thereof. The classification method takes as input a set of optical retardation image-maps of heat-treated coated mineral glasses, a set of optical visibility scores for quench patterns of the heat-treated uncoated or coated mineral glasses; a colour sensitivity factor of the heat-treated uncoated or coated mineral glasses, and provides as output a set of optimized values as parameters for components of an image processing pipeline to be applied to the optical retardation image-maps provided as input. The prediction method relies on an image processing pipeline set up with a set of optimized parameters which can be obtained with the classification.

The vehicle window glass(100) is adapted to be cooperated with a projection device(160) to provide a projection function, wherein the vehicle window glass(100) comprises a first glass body(110), a second glass body(120), a haze adjusting layer(140) sandwiched between the first glass body(110) and the second glass body(120), and an imaging layer(150), and wherein the haze adjusting layer(140) is configured to be capable of adjusting its haze to provide a projection effect and/or a privacy effect toward the outside and/or the inside of a vehicle on the imaging layer(150). By providing the haze adjusting layer(140), the vehicle window glass(100) can adjust the haze to project a clear image to the outside and/or the inside of the vehicle in combination with the imaging layer(150), and can switch the vehicle window glass(100) to be transparent or opaque when necessary, thus meeting the privacy requirements. Through different optimized designs of the imaging layer(150) and/or the haze adjusting layer(140), diversified display modes can be provided to meet different requirements of users and improve the user experience.
